00:00A Massachusetts woman is suing to get a piece of the action on a medical malpractice ruling in the

00:05death of her father. Catch is, she never knew he existed. I'll explain. A few years back, Carmen

00:13Thomas took a 23andMe DNA test and found out she had two biological sisters out there, Callie and

00:19Abigail Brown. Now, Thomas says their meeting was a joyous occasion, but the Browns, eh, a different

00:27story. The sisters say they did it as an act of kindness and were, quote, upset and hesitant about

00:33the whole thing. They said after meeting Thomas that she became, quote, assertive and possessive

00:40of her new family and that she demanded that her bio sisters pay for things like gas, food and

00:46alcohol for her. Their biological link here was their father, who sadly died back in 2018 from an

00:52undiagnosed aortic aneurysm. The Browns and their mother sued the hospital for malpractice and they

00:58won a $28.8 million settlement. And as we all know, timing is everything. That judgment was handed down

01:06a month after Thomas reached out to her newly discovered family. Once she found out about

01:12the settlement, she sued her half sisters to get her cut. Because of course, you know the old saying,

01:17the family that shares multimillion dollar settlements from the death of a father with a

01:22heretofore unknown blood relative who never met the man stays together. Or is that not how that saying

01:28goes? Anyway, the Browns lawyer said that the case quote was resolved favorably for his clients,

01:35but he didn't offer any further details. His clients cut off communication with their biological sister

01:40back in April. They probably didn't spend Thanksgiving together.
