Unexpected star Mia Quebedeaux and her baby are safe after a fire destroys her family’s property.
“I’m starting to go down [the stairs]and I see the bottom of the stairs is on fire,” Mia, 16, shared in an interview for Unfiltered with Kiran published on Monday January 26. “My dad opens our laundry room door that leads to a second pair of stairs on the side of our house, and the flames were already up there. So black smoke came into our house.”
Mia said she lived with her boyfriend, Jessie, and their baby at their father’s house in Denham Springs, Louisiana. The TLC reality star said no one had time to collect her belongings.
“I lost my phone, my dad lost his phone. I lost my keys. My dad lost my wallet, everything,” she said. “We all ran out of the house. My dog came out, me and the baby, everyone got out of the house safe and sound.”
A GoFundMe A page has been launched to help Mia and her family rebuild and get needed supplies as they find a new place to live.
“One of my very close family members lost everything in their house fire,” the GoFundMe organizer posted on the page. “Mia, Jessie and Keith lost the home where Mia and Jessie are raising their 5 month old child. Mia’s father, Keith, works every day to support his family. Keith is the sole provider for his children. He lost everything in the house fire with his truck. He has no way to work to support his family. All vehicles are gone. Please, if you can help in any way possible it will be greatly appreciated appreciated. This family needs so much prayer and help right now.
Mia remains grateful to the passerby who saw smoke and decided to get her family’s attention.
“She wasn’t even a neighbor. She was just passing the stop sign and she saw it,” she remembers. “Thank God she came and said something, otherwise it might have been a completely different story.”
Mia and Jessie
Courtesy of TLC/YouTubeUs every week contacted the Denham Springs Fire Department for additional comment.
Mia and her family will appear on the upcoming season of the TLC reality show. Unexpected.
In the season 7 trailerviewers meet eight teenagers who are preparing to become parents before graduating from high school.
Much of the drama surrounding Mia and Jessie’s relationship centers around the conflict between their mothers.
As the cameras roll, Mia hits the 30-week pregnant mark. As a result, decisions must be made about who can support her in the delivery room.
Mia confirms that her mother, Nicole, was “in prison on and off” throughout her childhood. As a result, Jessie’s mother, AK, feels she is more deserving of being by the couple’s side when their child is born.
“I don’t want to be mean or rude, but I think I earned this place before his mother,” AK said in a confessional interview.
Unexpected Season 7 premieres on TLC on Monday, February 16 at 9 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on HBO Max.
