Jenny Slatton‘s daughter is addressing an alarming video recently posted featuring the 90 Day Fiance star exhibiting slow, slurred speech and other health-related issues that have fans concerned.
Earlier this week, a video was posted to Instagram featuring Jenny being interviewed by one of the show’s producers, Rebecca Perlmutter for Swoon.com. In the video, Jenny talks about making spaghetti for her husband Sumit Singh‘s family. While the topic is light, Jenny’s speech in the video is noticeably slurred, and the reality star is speaking much slower than she normally does. The comment section of the video was full of responses from people who were concerned for Jenny, prompting Jenny’s daughter Christina Cuevas to chime in and discuss what’s happening with her mom.

“Hi everyone, thank you for all the concern. We are on it,” Christina wrote. “Please keep my mom in your prayers.”
Later, Christina posted several videos in response to the reaction her mom’s interview has gotten, with many fans asking if Jenny– who recently turned 68— had a stroke. While Christina didn’t confirm exactly what had caused the changes in Jenny’s speech, she did confirm that something is going on with Jenny’s health.
“Just wanted to give you guys some peace of mind. My mom is OK,” Christina said in a video posted Thursday. “She’s doing well. We are doing everything that we can to make sure that she’s healthy and that she continues to do well.”

Christina went on to thank viewers for their concern, and assured everyone that Jenny’s family will “do everything in our power to make sure my mom gets whatever care she needs.
“We are on it. If you know anything about me, I was on it from the moment I spoke to her,” Christina said. “Please, don’t worry too much. We will keep you posted and let you know what’s going on, as much as we can. I have to respect my mom’s privacy, so if she is OK with me sharing things then I will share them.”
Christina confirmed that Jenny has returned to India after being in New York City earlier this week to attend the “90 Day Fiance” Christmas party.

(In another video posted to TikTok, Christina stated that Sumit wasn’t able to come to the United States with Jenny for the party because he doesn’t have his visa yet.)
“Sumit and I have had conversations, so just know that she’s in good hands,” Christina said.
In the comment section of the original video featuring Jenny’s interview, Christina told fans that she is in constant communication with her mom, despite Jenny and Sumit living in India.

“We stay in touch, talk almost daily and if I need to hop on a plane I have no problem doing that. Thank you for supporting her,” Christina told one person.
In the TikTok video, Christina stated that Jenny’s family has known about Jenny’s “situation for awhile” and that the most-recent “90 Day” footage featuring Jenny was “pre-taped” (assumingly before Jenny’s medical issues began).
“I would never, never– in my wildest dreams— neglect my mom,” she said. “I already told Sumit that if he needs me to go over there, just say the word and I’m on the next flight. I have no problem dropping my entire life to go help my mother. She’s always been here for me…I will do anything that I possibly can do to make sure that she’s happy, safe and healthy…”

Christina responded to several fans demanding to know more about Jenny’s specific issues.
“We don’t know what is going on yet. We are trying to figure it out and when we do like I said we will let you know,” she responded to one fan before telling another, “You’re not entitled [to know] just because you watch her on the show.”

Anybody else noticed (I believe it was in the spaghetti scene). Jenny was saying that the mom criticize her bringing alcohol in thier home, but then there was a bottle of good tequila next to the kitchen sink.
What great kids Jenny has!
I’ve always like Christina. Im glad she saw the concern and got involved. Hopefully Jenny is ok.
Christina sounds like a wonderful, loving daughter. Good for Jenny.
