But in a TikTok video, Barnea put the blame squarely on Kat’s shoulders.
“I saw the way that she lived, and it was bizarre,” said Barnea, who appeared in the 2021 sci-fi short 99 Problems. “There were candles of all sizes – big, small, wide, every single corner, every mantel, down the steps, along the walls.”
Barnea, 30, claims “the stress” of the fire, the restoration process and the lawsuit caused his mother’s cancer to return “with such vengeance” before she died of the disease at age 70 in 2025.
He also blasted Kat as a “liar, a narcissist, truly a mean person,” accusing her of sending “hateful emails” to his ailing mom.
