Introduction
Their concerns reportedly center around the well-being of their younger sister, Indiana, who has Down syndrome. The sisters claim they’ve been cut off from Indiana and that she’s been placed in the care of individuals connected to Homestead Heritage, an organization with a troubling past. They also expressed distress that Indiana was left with unfamiliar family members while Rory was on his honeymoon. Heidi and Hopie cited a previous incident where Indiana was allegedly injured while visiting a Homestead community as part of their worry.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, the sisters also shared their own difficult childhood experiences. Heidi recounted an instance where Rory allegedly refused to take her to the hospital for a broken leg and another where she was allegedly physically abused by one of Rory’s ex-girlfriends, whom he continued to see. Hopie corroborated these accounts, stating they were often taken to the girlfriend’s house late at night during breakups.
A close family friend, Julie Zoldi, who supported Joey Feek during her cancer battle, has also spoken out. She expressed her sadness over the situation, emphasizing the importance of Heidi and Hopie’s relationship with Indiana, especially after the loss of their mother. Julie also noted changes in Rory since his involvement with Homestead Heritage and her surprise at being excluded from his wedding. She feels the current situation is a stark contrast to the family unity they once shared.
Rory has yet to publicly address these serious allegations. As this legal battle unfolds, many are left wondering about the future for the Feek family and hoping for a resolution that prioritizes Indiana’s well-being and the potential for reconciliation.
