John Todd Hight, Jr. drowned while swimming in rough waters in Galveston, Texas on April 30, 2011. As mentioned in our detailed post about the incident, Todd was swimming with friends at the time, including his pregnant fiance Kristina Robinson (seen in the photo above with Todd), who is one of the 12 girls featured in the upcoming fourth season of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant.
Todd’s mom Tina Hight began posting on her son’s public Facebook wall back in July, 2011, and would continue to share her grieving process in this public forum with heartfelt messages to her deceased son, as well as interactions with the rest of her family and Kristina too.
Kristina and Tina seemed to have been brought together by John Todd Hight, Jr.’s tragic death and they often exchanged condolences and words of support on his page, including a time in August when it appeared as though Kristina’s son Lukas Todd might be born three months premature. Todd Lukas (the baby) held on or another month though, and was born two-months premature on September 26, 2011.
Not long after Lukas’ birth Kristina’s relationship with Tina and the rest of Todd’s family began to fall apart.
According to Tina’s posts, Kristina was not allowing John Todd’s family to see the baby much at all. Tina wrote on John Tood’s public Facebook page February 24 “I have only been able to hold my baby boy’s son 4 times,” two of which were while MTV was filming.
Also painful for Tina and John Todd’s family was the fact that Kristina began dating again. And not just dating again, she became engaged in December, just a couple days before what would have been John Todd’s 20th birthday. The Hight family began talking negatively about Kristina openly on Facebook in posts visible to the public, and even suggested that John Todd’s death may not have been an accident.
Here’s the post with comments from Todd’s brother, sister-in-law, and finally his mother Tina. These are posted on John Todd’s public Facebook Page:
Tina then wrote this less than an hour later:
The suspicion seems to date back at least to November 30 when Tina posted, “BeBe,I miss you so much,and momma loves you even more than the pain I have for you be taken from all of us that love you and it haunts me the way you left us,and I wish that we werent heartless told of 1 detail of you bein pushed to save themself,brokenMe”
UPDATE – Tina Hight spoke with us exclusively about not being able to see her grandson and her statements about John Todd Hight, Jr.’s death possibly not being an accident. CLICK HERE to read what she had to say!
Here are the rest of Tina’s posts detailing the falling out between the families. The post created by Todd’s brother on Christmas day comes just a couple days after Kristina became engaged again, so I am guessing that is what sparked his anger.
