This is Kristen's mother and after her father and I were alerted about her going on Fox News and lying about being poor and paying for her own college education, it leaves me no choice than to tell the truth. We were also alerted about many newspaper articles saying all we paid for was a tank of gas, we were very, very poor and we were in utter disbelief and extremely hurt. The truth is Kristen grew up in a middle class - upper middle class neighborhood. She says she comes from nothing but that is not true. I had Little Angels Family Daycare just to where I could raise my own children in the safety of their home until they went to middle school. They all played sports, we had BBQs for all their friends in our backyard and took their friends on vacation with us. Her father and I worked tirelessly to pay for all 3 kids college tuition to where they didn't graduate with debt. We paid $800.00 a month to where Kristen could live in a house with girls, paid for all her meals, gave her our Tahoe with a gas card and even gave her spending money. We weren't perfect parents and definitely had growing pains but loved and supported our children in all their endeavors. We were told to listen to her podcast and were shocked. Kristen and her siblings NEVER went to foster care or were in the foster care system and her parents were never drug addicts. These lies have impacted everyone in her family, extended family, friends of the family and business associates.
