Bombshell: Doctor's note confirmed Michelle Preston's daughter has rare metabolic disorder
Will Megan Fox retract her reprehensible and irresponsible reporting based on an anonymous source?
Shortly after I published my recent post exposing {my former friend} Megan Fox’s hypocritical and irresponsible reporting in which she suggested that Micelle Preston, who {my former friend} Megan had been investigating as part of her Hales story line, had Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP), Preston provided more details about the case.
She supplied me with a letter from a doctor at the University of South Florida (USF) Hospital Department of Genetics and Metabolism in which the doctor stated, “She {Preston’s adopted daughter} is a 4 year-old female with Glutaric Acidemia, Type 1 (GA-1) diagnosed at birth via Florida Newborn Screening.”
Appearing with Hales in January 2025, {my former friend} Megan suggested that an anonymous source who {my former friend} Megan said was close to Preston was making up the malady.
“When she {Preston} started telling everyone that the baby was very sick, and this person- who was with her all the time- saw the baby and said ‘I don’t think so. I think she {the baby} seems very normal and fine.’” {My former friend} Megan stated.
Megan went on to state that this source had a son with the same metabolic disorder, and the source noted Michelle didn’t have a nutritionist or special baby formula, which the source claimed was necessary.
The story was already falling apart because Michelle’s adoption attorney told Lisa of Two Lee’s in a Pod that the child, “(h)as some medical issues,” contradicting the assertion the child was fine.
{My former friend} Megan Fox did not respond to an email for comment, however, Hales crew is already suggesting the letter is a forgery.
While Michelle blocked out the doctor’s name, she gave it to me and that doctor exists in the Department of Genetics and Metabolism at USF.
Michelle also told me, “There is no child in Northport {where she lived previously and where this purported anonymous source met her} who has GA-1.”
“I never had a friend or a whatever that had a child with GA-1,” Preston said.
Megan claimed her source’s son had the same metabolic- which the doctor called rare- disorder.
This anonymous source also purportedly told {my former friend} Megan that Michelle introduced herself as “Ruby.”
Michelle said that this assertion twists reality.
“The name Ruby. I never called myself Ruby. Never introduced myself as Ruby.” Michelle said.
She said that a friend- the one she believes is the anonymous source- gave her that nickname.
Michelle said this source gave her the nickname after making a reference to a song.
“She {the source} said, ‘Ruby get your gun.’ It’s a song,” Michelle said. Michelle said she owns a gun.
Michelle said she still finds the nickname endearing, but she was not trying to go by a different name.
“No friend helped me through my adoption,” Michelle said.
My former friend} Megan claimed this source helped Michelle with her adoption.
This was already a dubious allegation. If someone helped Michelle with her adoption, it’s almost certain her given name was on the paperwork.
“There is no friend who saw the baby all the time. No one was allowed in my house,” Michelle said.
{My former friend} Megan claimed the anonymous source saw her daughter all the time.
“All of this Munchausen syndrome came from CPS in a case I had with my mother seventeen years of fighting my mom in court for custody of my cases- they CPS in Missouri, by Fort Leonard Wood…{CPS} said in their records thought my mother had Munchausen. That she was doing this for the attention.”
MSBP is the backdrop for this. {My former friend} Megan Fox used to fight against the false label of MSBP. She wrote numerous stories about Cyndi Abcug, who was falsely accused of MSBP.
She covered Take Care of Maya, a Netflix documentary about another mother, Beata Kowalsky, who was falsely accused of MSBP.
She interviewed Shawn McMillan, a California attorney known for winning big settlements for mothers falsely accused of MSBP.
MSBP is exceedingly rare, if it exists at all, and diagnosing it properly is nearly impossible, as it requires the elimination of all other possible medical possibilities.
The CPS assertion against Michelle’s mom was applied irresponsibly, in my opinion. The allegation is an assertion, rather than a clinical diagnosis.
{My former friend} Megan also irresponsibly made the same assertion based on an anonymous source. Given her history with MSBP, it’s shameful.
