According to his ex, he straight up lied about the circumstances surrounding his daughter's illness & death and falsely put himself at the center of it for the sake of sympathy/attention:
“I know you’ve probably seen articles where he [Caleb Plant] said, ‘I got sat down in a room full of doctors and found out she [Alia] wouldn’t make it,’ but that’s 100 percent not true because he was out of town when I got sat down and told with no one else there.”......
Plant describes how doctors would “pull me into this little white room,” but Briscoe-Lee states that Plant’s wording comes from her recollections on one of her Facebook posts.
“That’s where he used words out of a post that I made. I know exactly where you’re going,” said Briscoe-Lee. “That was a time where I made a post. That was when he was out of town in Colorado, and I was there by myself.”
In the Yahoo article, Plant narrated a touching moment right before Alia passed where he told her, “‘I just want you to know if you don’t want to go through this anymore, I support you. I love you, and your Dad’s not going to be mad at you.'”
It’s a brutally beautiful vignette that captures a parent’s pain of losing their child. The only problem is that this is a description of her poignant directive to the ailing baby, according to Briscoe-Lee. She claims that Caleb never said these words, but that she did. Briscoe-Lee shared this anecdote in a Facebook post dating back to January 29, 2018.....
In the Yahoo story, Plant was alone with Alia when he spoke these words to her, but Briscoe-Lee states that he was never alone with her. She can’t remember a moment in Alia’s life where she wasn’t by her daughter’s side.
What’s not mentioned in the Yahoo article is that Plant almost wasn’t present on the day his daughter passed away.
“The day she passed away, Caleb was not supposed to be there,” stated Briscoe-Lee. “He was supposed to go out of town. I had the doctors help me beg him to stay because he was like, ‘she’s been on life support more than once, and she always got better.’...
It hurts Briscoe-Lee to see Plant take credit for things, she asserts, she said and did. He has even claimed that his daughter died in his arms, even though her obituary affirms that she died in her mother’s arms.
“It’s just hurtful,” said Briscoe-Lee. “We went through something together. You don’t have to make it just seem about you. Whether he likes it or not, I’m the only person on this earth that knows exactly what he went through.”
It hurts Briscoe-Lee to be cut out of her daughter’s story, but what causes her the most anguish is seeing Alia’s story being used, in her mind, as PR material. That’s not the legacy she envisioned for Alia. Alia’s memory is powerful and should be used to help others going through a similar situation.
There are plenty of scumbags in this world but it takes a special kind of twisted to lie about something like that.
