Social media outrage has erupted after Kenlee Barnett was accused of faking a nine-month pregnancy and stealing photos of another woman’s late daughter to support her fabricated story.
The shocking revelation came after Jacy Strout, a grieving mother, publicly called out Barnett online, accusing her of using images of her deceased daughter, Ellora, to pretend she had given birth.
“Five days. In five days it will be Ellora’s due date. My sweet baby girl,” Strout wrote in an emotional post. “Right now, I should be planning her celebration of life basket. But what am I doing? Sitting here fired up wondering how SICK someone actually has to be to fake a pregnancy for nine months—and use my daughter’s pictures from right after birth as her own.”
Strout continued, demanding answers from Barnett and her boyfriend:
“Kenlee Barnett, I need answers now. This momma won’t stop till I get them. You and your boyfriend—be for real. I feel so bad for her family who believed this. The ultrasound picture, the belly, the story of ‘low amniotic fluid’… unbelievable.”
The incident has since gained traction online, with users expressing disbelief and anger over the emotional manipulation.
One viral post summarized the situation:
“Y’all remember Jacy Strout—the sweet mama whose journey we followed when she was told around 20 weeks her baby wouldn’t survive. This girl STOLE her daughter’s photo, faked an entire pregnancy, and then lied saying she lost the baby. This is some sick stuff right here!”
The story continues to circulate across social media as users demand accountability and empathy for Strout’s loss and outrage over Barnett’s alleged deception.
