“The Blind Side” star Quinton Aaron woke up from a coma after suffering a spinal stroke from a serious fall at home, his family said.
Although Quinton is awake, alert and “making significant progress,” he is upset that his wife, Margarita Aaron, is married to another man for over a decade.
Margarita was banned from Quinton’s hospital room after the family questioned her registered nurse credentials and the legality of their marriage.
“I’m OK with it, I’m at peace with this. Quinton and I pray a lot and believe in God and believe in a higher power,” Margarita Aaron told Us Weekly. “I can feel his presence telling me this will work itself out.”
According to a source, Quinton’s brother confronted Margarita at the hospital. Other relatives had suspicions about the legitimacy of their marriage. They accused Margarita of not being a registered nurse, as well as being married to someone else.
Margarita admitted she is married to another man but they’re separated.
“I am separated from my ex and we are both working on this process to make sure a divorce gets finalized so we both can move on with our lives,” she explained. “I have watched Quinton in the hospital for seven days, I prayed, I watched this man go through trials and tribulations.”
Margarita told TMZ she’s “spiritually married” to Quinton, which means they’re not legally married. Therefore she can’t be with him in his hospital room against the family’s wishes.
The family has apologized to Quinton for not recognizing the red flags in his relationship with Margarita.
“What I’m hearing is that his family has been lying to him, telling him that I left him and I didn’t,” Margarita told TMZ.
The family also questions “suspicious activity” in his bank accounts and a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $50,000 for his medical bills.
Margarita reached out to a veteran’s charity to create the GoFundMe account. Quinton is not a military veteran but he has military veterans in his family.
Margarita threatened to sue anyone spreading lies about her and Quinton. “There will be legal repercussions.”
A Cobb County, Georgia Police spokesperson told The Daily Mail that the department is investigating the allegations against her.
