She grew up with a doctor mom in a $750,000 home while attending a $30,000/year private school
A Rhodes Scholarship recipient who previously insisted that she grew up poor, abused, and underprivileged is said to have lost her scholarship after it was discovered she lied about her background.
A Wednesday report from the Daily Mail stated that 24-year-old Mackenzie Fierceton grew up in a $750,000 home in Missouri with her mother — a doctor — and attended a $30,000/year private high school.
Fierceton claimed in her application essay to Philadelphia’s University of Pennsylvania that she survived abuse and foster care and overcame adversity by putting her education at the forefront of her priorities.
In the essay, the outlet reported, Fierceton — a self-described “queer, first-generation, low income” student — claimed that her radiologist mother tried to kill her and that she eventually ended up in foster care.
According to the report, Fierceton was in foster care — but reportedly only for one year and only after she told police that her mother Carrie Morrison struck her and threw her down a flight of stairs.
Police arrested Morrison in 2014 in connection with the allegation, but she denied all culpability and said that her daughter — a “difficult” child who suffered from anxiety — was being dishonest.
The case was later dropped because prosecutors found no evidence to support Fierceton’s claims.
How do you think she votes?
