Six months after they adopted her and just two weeks before the series premiered, the La Manses contacted the producers. “Something is wrong with Natalia,” Bishop Mans said in an audio clip. “This girl is adjusting. I feel he is the enemy of the house. And she told us we held her hostage.” Cynthia added: “Natalia is stabbing her family in the back for a complete lie,” to which Bishop said: “I’m done. I’m done with her.”

At the time, Jason Sarlanis, president of Turner Networks, ID and HLN, linear and streaming, said The Hollywood Reporter series was blocked, but that they mobilized to add to the conversation. “We really thought Natalia had found a happy ending with her new family, so you can imagine we were all shocked when that call came from La Mans,” he said.

After the finale was released, Grace took to social media to say she was safe, but couldn’t say much because of her production deal. “I wish I could tell you more about the show, but I signed an agreement with the show to keep things confidential for now. I’ll be sure to let you know when I can, but just know I’m fine. I love you all #safe #livingmybestlife,” she wrote.
