Months ahead of the show's release, she told ET in May 2023: "This is my side of the story.

"I’m going to say what happened because I never got a chance to say what happened.

"It’s very frustrating to hear everything that’s being said from Kristine and Michael because I already don’t know who I am, and I want to know who I am, what happened to me.

"But I’m hearing all this stuff that never actually happened from Kristine and Michael.

"Y’all have heard Kristine and Michael and what they have said, but you need to hear both sides in order to know what really happened."

Natalia denied Michael and Kristine's allegations that she attempted to harm them and their three biological children.

Natalia also denied the speculation surrounding her real age and insisted she was a child when the Barnetts adopted her.

According to the Barnetts, Natalia was 21 years old when they adopted her on April 26, 2010; not six years old.

While dismissing the Barnetts' accusations, she mentioned: "The things that Kristine and Michael have said that I have done is a lie.

"I have never done anything that Kristine and Michael have said that I have done.

"And people are believing what Kristine and Michael are saying without even hearing my side."
