Rory Feek Sued by His Daughters Just 45 Days After Remarriage
After years of mourning the loss of his wife, country singer Joey Feek, who passed away in 2016, Rory Feek seemed to have finally found happiness again when he recently married Rebecca — the former teacher of his youngest daughter, Indiana. However, only 45 days after the wedding, Rory now faces a shocking turn of events: he is being sued by his own daughters, Heidi and Hopie.
The two sisters, who were once very close to their younger sister Indiana — who has Down syndrome — did not attend the wedding and recently took to social media to announce that they are pursuing legal action against their father. They claim that Indiana is no longer safe in Rory’s care and accuse him of cutting off their contact with her and placing her in the hands of strangers associated with a controversial group called Homestead Heritage.
Homestead Heritage is a farming-based Christian community that has faced multiple allegations over the years regarding child abuse. Heidi and Hopie allege that Rory left Indiana in the care of individuals from this organization while he went on his honeymoon, a decision they say endangered the young girl.
Beyond their concerns for Indiana, the sisters also revealed painful memories from their own childhood. Heidi recalled a traumatic incident in which she broke her leg, and Rory allegedly refused to take her to the hospital, leaving her in pain for 24 hours. She also spoke of being physically assaulted by one of Rory’s former girlfriends, an individual he continued to date despite the abuse.
Rory, for his part, previously addressed some of these claims in his memoir, stating that at the time the family was financially strained and that, after consulting a nurse hotline, he believed Heidi’s injury wasn’t urgent.
Amid the growing turmoil, a close family friend, Julie Zoldi — who was by Joey’s side during her battle with cancer — has also spoken out. Julie expressed her sadness over the current state of the family and noted how integral Heidi and Hopie had been in Indiana’s life. She expressed concern over the new circle of people now surrounding Rory and was surprised to find herself excluded from his recent wedding.
Julie believes that if Joey were still alive, none of this would be happening and the family would likely still be united.
For now, Rory has remained silent on the matter. As the legal battle unfolds, fans and loved ones are left wondering what the future holds for Rory, Indiana, and the rest of the Feek family. Will reconciliation be possible, or will the rift continue to grow?
