Natalia Grace, adopted girl who claimed to be 6, confronts her adoptive dad in new docuseries

Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan accused of trying to kill her adoptive parents, has sensationally confronted her adoptive father in a new docuseries.

Grace, who was accused of “masquerading” as a child despite allegedly being an adult, tells her side of the story in a new six-part series titled “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks.”

“In every lie is a hidden truth, but you’ve gotta dig enough to be able to see it,” she says in a preview clip.

“They’re not going to get away with this,” she adds. “This is my side of the story. Do I look like a monster to you?”

In the docuseries, Grace opens up about what happened after she was adopted by Indiana couple Michael and Kristine Barnett in 2010.

The Barnetts previously accused her of emotionally and physically abusing them while pretending to be a 6-year-old girl even though she was allegedly 20.

She was accused of looming over the couple while they were sleeping with a knife in her hand — a claim she denies.

“I was never in y’all’s room with a knife,” she tells her adoptive father in the clip while placing her head in her hands. “I know what I saw.”

“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,” Natalia said in a trailer for the upcoming documentary. “But I’m hearing all this stuff that never actually happened from Kristine and Michael.”

Grace has a rare form of dwarfism called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.

Her story was featured in the recent Investigation Discovery documentary “The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace.”

Michael and Kristine adopted someone they believed to be a 6-year-old girl in April 2010.

Two years later, the couple petitioned a court to legally change the girl’s birth year from 2003 to 1989, which was granted and changed her age from 8 years old to 22.

They then moved to Canada with their biological children, where their oldest son was due to start college.

In 2013, the couple soon found themselves in legal trouble when Grace was found to be living alone in an apartment in ​​Lafayette, Indiana, leading to an investigation and their arrests.

In 2019, the couple, who have since divorced, were charged with neglect of a dependent.

Michael Barnett was ultimately found not guilty by a jury in 2022, and Kristine Barnett had all of her charges dismissed in March of this year.

The six-part docuseries will debut on January 1 at 9/8c on ID.
