Jenny Slatten is telling her own story. The 90 Day Fiancé star shared an old video on Instagram on Sunday, October 4, to show how much ALS has changed her voice. She also used the post to defend her husband and caregiver, Sumit Singh, from online criticism.
In Her Own Words
The clip is one of the first Cameo videos Jenny ever recorded for a fan. She wrote that she remembered being able to talk much better back then, and that some people made fun of how she sounded. “Today, because of ALS, I can barely talk,” she wrote, according to Entertainment Now. She said speaking has become very difficult.
This fits what the couple shared last month. A September GoFundMe update said Jenny hardly speaks and that Sumit speaks for her more and more. The new post comes from Jenny herself.
Defending Sumit
Jenny then turned to Sumit. She wrote that people judge you at every stage of life. She said she sees people judging him now, and that it hurts because he is her husband and he loves her. She described him as her only caregiver who helps her every day, according to TV Shows Room. The same outlet reports that some fans have criticized the couple for staying in India while Sumit works on a visa. Jenny’s family has said they understand her wish to stay with him.
Jenny closed with a message for her followers. She asked them to appreciate what they have, ignore other people’s opinions, and enjoy each day, since nothing stays the same forever. Fans filled her comments with support. Fellow cast member Paola Mayfield wrote that she loves the couple and that they deserve the best.
A Message That Points Outward
Jenny could have used this post to talk only about herself. She chose to talk about Sumit and about how people treat each other. The old clip makes the change clear without any explanation. The post asks viewers to be kind to the people they only see on a screen.
