Jenny Slatten says the beach is where she wants to be. The 90 Day Fiancé star posted on Facebook this week to answer people who criticized her and her husband, Sumit Singh, for a trip to Goa, India. She says it is part of her treatment and asked critics to keep their opinions to themselves.
90 Day Fiancé: What She Wrote
The couple posted photos from the Arabian Sea coast. Some commenters questioned whether the trip was paid for with money raised on her GoFundMe. Jenny answered in a Facebook comment. “If you don’t know what ALS does to a person please research it, we came to the beach for part of my treatment,” she wrote, as Us Weekly reported. She added that she believes the ocean has negative ions that are good for an ALS patient.
She ended with a blunt line about her illness. “My life is going to end, and yours will keep going on,” she wrote, as Us Weekly covered it. She told critics who disagree with the vacation to keep it to themselves.
90 Day Fiancé: What Is Known About the Claim
Complex notes there is no established clinical evidence that ocean air or negative ions treat ALS. Jenny’s belief comes from her own view of what helps her, and the reports do not include comment from her doctors. The photos also showed Sumit pushing her in a wheelchair. She said she is not in one all the time, only for long walks. In September, she said she was still walking but got tired, and that she would probably need a wheelchair soon.
The reports include no evidence about how the trip was paid for. Her GoFundMe has reportedly raised more than $138,000, according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. The couple has said she has no medical insurance in India and that Sumit’s role as her caregiver makes it hard for him to work.
90 Day Fiancé: Support From Followers
Fans rallied behind her. Many said the trip is no one else’s business and told her to enjoy her time. Others said time by the water can be healing for many people.
90 Day Fiancé: Two Different Questions
There are two things here. One is whether the ocean helps ALS. The evidence says that is unproven. The other is whether a person with a terminal illness can choose how to spend her time. That is hers to decide. Jenny’s post does not settle the first question, and she does not seem to be asking it to.
