Is it true that Barbarella Cassavetes was kidnapped?

Barbarella, who is 14 years old, is more concerned with her studies than with being in a relationship. So far, the Notebook director has alleged that his ex-girlfriend Heather Wahlquist kidnapped their daughter in Oklahoma in 2017. He has filed a complaint against Wahlquist for violating their custody agreement, claiming that he tried to contact his daughter but that she had turned off her phone.

According to Cassavetes, the teen’s grandmother and aunt were assisting Wahlquist in keeping her undercover. He explained:

“We believe her family, particularly her grandmother Linda Massad and great aunt Jeanette Massad Anderson, were involved in the concealment of Barbie and have been served… I’m not sure if she’s okay or not, and I’m worried about her,” says the author.

Nick was rumored to have had Barbie’s custody from December 18 to January 8, but Heather never said anything about it. In fact, her mother stated that she wanted to keep her daughter away from her father for her own good, as Nick Cassavetes was an unattended guardian who struggled with gambling and drug abuse.

According to TMZ, both Cassavetes and Wahlquist filed emergency custody applications on Friday, 2017, and the manager was found to be the parent with “current legal custody.”

“I’m going to make a living hell for your life,” Nick’s mother, Wahlquist, allegedly told Heather when she left, “I’m going to make a living hell for your life.” She even claimed that Nick was the one who kidnapped the child as a form of retaliation.

Heather and Nick’s (parents’) marital relationship

Wahlquist and Cassavetes met on the set of the 2002 film John Q. Public. They fell in love and were engaged a month later. The couple then tied the knot in front of their loved ones in a private ceremony. They divorced in 2012 after years of living together.

On the other hand, Nick Cassavetes‘ father was previously married to Isabelle Rafalovich. They married on September 8, 1985, in front of close family and friends in the United States. The wedding ceremony for the groom and bride took place in the “Dyker Beach Golf Course Catering Hall.”
