Jenny Slatten defends Goa vacation amid ALS diagnosis criticism

Reality television stars Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh have addressed social media criticism regarding their recent vacation to Goa, India. Following Slatten’s diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in late 2025, some online critics questioned the legitimacy of her illness and her ability to travel.

Slatten, 68, responded to the accusations via Facebook, stating that the trip to the beach is part of her treatment. She noted that the ocean’s negative ions are beneficial for ALS patients and urged critics to research the disease before making negative comments.

Slatten’s condition has been described by associates as progressive, with reports indicating she is experiencing increasing physical weakness and difficulty speaking. Sumit Singh, her husband, has reportedly taken on the role of her primary caregiver as they explore medical options in the United States.
