Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks ending explained
As the Natalia Speaks finale draws to a close, viewers are met with a startling message displayed on the screen: “Two weeks ago, and six months after Natalia’s adoption, the producers received a shocking phone call.” The message further unveils the adoptive parents Antwon and Cynthia Mans accusing Natalia of betrayal and expressing their decision to cut ties with her.
The recent developments have been very unexpected, particularly considering Natalia's previous excitement and hope for a fresh start with the Mans family. Since 2014, she has been under their care, with Cynthia and Antwon providing support and guidance through her public appearances and legal challenges.
In the audio recording, Antwon expresses concern about Natalia, stating that he feels she is acting strangely and portraying them as the enemy. He mentions that she has accused them of holding her hostage.
Cynthia accuses Natalia of betraying her family with a total fabrication, while Antwon adds that this was a new low for her, and describes her as selfish and emotionless. The documentary suggests that Natalia's story is far from over, hinting at a potential follow-up series. Viewers are left wondering about the cause of the rift between Natalia and the Mans, with many speculating that it may be linked to financial issues.
Before the Natalia Speaks finale was released, a Redditor claimed to have inside knowledge and stated, "I'm posting this to help this girl. I am very close with the family she is staying with right now. I'm not comfortable sharing any information that could potentially harm my friends."
They continued, "I hope that by being as honest as possible, this post won't receive the 'leave her alone' attitude, especially since I am meeting Natalia for the first time next week and sharing this information to help her."
This situation revolves around the fact that she fled from the Mans family and Indiana, and that the Mans family is still attempting to gather and retain money from a fundraiser in Natalia's name. The provided information is confirmed to be accurate, and I suggested that she reach out to GoFundMe.
This information is awaiting verification, as some individuals have responded to the thread by accusing it of being a "scam." Nevertheless, we now have clarity on the conclusion of Natalia Speaks, as one person told the OP: "I believe some people on here owe you an apology."
Cynthia and Antwon Mans are now the legal adoptive parents of Natalia.
In a video shared on YouTube by ID, a viewer left a comment on the final scene, saying: "Although I can ONLY SPECULATE, here, as to the motivation behind this phone call – I am SO CERTAIN I know to what it refers.
"After filming wrapped, the Mans family discovered that Natalia would be receiving payment and her new family feels that it should be divided. It is possible that Natalia did not disclose this payment to the family.
It should be noted that the Mans family originally adopted Natalia when she was 8-9 years old and embraced her with open arms. They have been caring for her ever since and she had also signed over her disability checks to the family from the beginning."
Based on what I know, it seems likely that the Mans family is receiving more than just Natalia's disability money from Illinois, which is over $1,800 per month. It's probable that they are also receiving extra money as her caretakers. This situation appears to be a financial disagreement. Originally, the Mans family took her in for good reasons. After all, she was just a child when they adopted her - and a child at a high risk due to her disability.
Natalia was likely offered over 100k for this mini series. It's alarming that as an adult, she relies on caregivers while the Mans family feels entitled to a portion of her money. They are accusing her of being selfish and a betrayer.
For your entire life, imagine the people who are supposed to help you thinking they deserve a cut of your earnings. This series was not about The Mans, it is Natalia's story. Trying to guilt-trip her and informing the producers that the Mans want nothing to do with her is a tragic display of greed. This behavior is particularly shameful considering that Antwon is a proud man of the cloth.
None of this has been confirmed, and it is currently unclear what the dispute between Mans and Natalia entails. More details will likely be revealed in a follow-up series, and we will be sure to keep you informed as new information becomes available.
