The family of Matt Pinfield, the radio presenter and former MTV VJ who have undergone a huge stroke that he admitted to the hospital in January – is involved in a legal battle for his conservatory.
According to judicial documents obtained by people, Pinfield’s 38-year-old daughter Jessica Pinfield applied for the conservatory of her father, 63.
But his girlfriend Kara Brown and his brother Glenn Pinfield now claim that Jessica is trying to isolate Matt from the rest of his family. TMZ was the first to report news about the family at odds.
The opposition request – who was submitted by lawyers for Brown and Glenn on Friday 7 February to a higher court in Los Angeles for Brown and Glenn – states that Jessica applied for the conservatory shortly after Matt was admitted to the hospital on 6 January. Glenn and Brown asked a judge in Los Angeles County to deny Jessica’s petition for conservatory.
Jessica, who had argued in her original application that she was worried that Brown had taken over control of the bank accounts and the apartment of Matt, wanted to apply for a conservatory to protect his property and bills. She also said that her father was “incompetent to make decisions” because of his current health problems after his stroke.
Glenn and Brown claim that Brown – who stated that she lived with Matt for two years and had been with him for three years – was by his side since the day he was admitted to hospital after a fall, and that he was “clear and” Lucid and involved – both with me and with hospital staff “when he indicates Brown as his emergency contact and personal representative.

“I spent most of my time during the first week of Matt’s hospital admission to his bed. At that time he spoke with me in full sentences,” Brown said in the opposition request. “His doctor passed with me in detail and we were encouraged at that time that Matt would make a full recovery. I was led to believe that he would be fired within a few weeks.”
According to Brown, Jessica was visited the hospital on January 14 when she “was not covered, I accused of being drugs and to blame myself for Matt’s stroke.”
“These accusations are not true. I felt that it was Jessica’s intention here to destroy my credibility at the hospital staff. Instead of arguing, I left the hospital in honor of Jessica,” she said in submitting.
On January 16, Brown claimed that she was asked to leave the hospital and the security personnel were told that her visitation rights had been withdrawn. “I was not told why,” Brown added and noticed that after that incident she was unable to get further updates about her friend’s condition.
According to the submission, Brown learned that Matt’s condition had changed from ‘good to arm’.
“This was heartbreaking for me and was exacerbated by the lack of available, reliable information about Matt’s condition. I was told that he had sustained MRSA/pneumonia, who had become life -threatening and that he had no ‘massive’ stroke as Jessica claimed .
Glenn also claimed that Jessica is poorly equipped to serve as a curator and the rest of their family has blind, including Brown, Glenn, Matt’s sister Colleen, mother Nancy and his other daughter Maya by not telling them she had submitted for a conservatory and keeping medical information from them.
Jessica was previously appointed as a temporary curator, per TMZ, and Glenn and Brown asked the judge her request to refuse full conservatory or to give more time to determine the best arrangement for their families.
