Ex-MTV Host Matt Pinfield
He Doesn’t Seem Incompetent To Us
… GF, Brother Push Back
Published February 11, 2025 1:00 AM PST
Matt Pinfield‘s partner and sibling have defended the former MTV host’s capabilities following claims made by his daughter, Jessica, that he is incompetent and in need of a conservatorship after his recent stroke. During a hospital visit, both his girlfriend, Kara Brown, and brother, Glenn, reported that Matt demonstrated a greater level of communication than his daughter has suggested, particularly when he engaged in singing along to music.
Jessica has raised concerns about Matt’s ability to make decisions regarding his own health and finances, prompting her to file for a temporary conservatorship. However, Kara and Glenn assert that they have been marginalized in this situation, claiming that Jessica is isolating Matt from them.
On Friday afternoon, attorney Todd Wolfe accompanied Kara for an in-person visit with Matt at Kaiser Permanente L.A. Medical Center, while Glenn participated via video call. Todd stated that he witnessed a significant improvement in Matt’s communicative abilities compared to what they had been led to believe.
During this visit, Todd brought a portable turntable and Kara provided a selection of records, leading to positive interactions as Matt reacted enthusiastically to the music. In a notable moment, he even joined Kara in singing some of Elvis Costello‘s songs, which Todd described as a “beautiful” experience.
TMZ had earlier reported on Jessica’s concerns about Matt’s ability to manage his financial affairs, as she fears his girlfriend might exploit his assets. Contrarily, Kara insists that she has no access to his funds and alleges that Jessica orchestrated her removal from the hospital. Glenn supports Kara’s claims, asserting that Jessica’s actions have led to an unnecessary estrangement from Matt.
In a recent legal development, a judge permitted Kara and Glenn, along with their attorney, to visit Matt in the hospital, and initial reports indicate that their reunion was more positive than anticipated. The ongoing family dispute over Matt’s health and well-being appears to be intensifying, with Kara and Glenn now feeling more empowered in their support of him.
