The grieving biological mother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, whose death aboard a Carnival cruise ship has been ruled a homicide, says she’s leaning on country star Jelly Roll to help her cope, even as tensions surge within the fractured family and the investigation intensifies.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Heather Wright said the loss of her daughter has left her shattered. “I am not OK… is exactly how I feel,” Wright told the outlet, referring to the Jelly Roll song, explaining that she quietly attended Anna’s memorial service despite believing she might be arrested over unpaid child support. She said she attended in secret because, in her words, “they can’t stop me from going anyway.”
