ABBA, widely regarded as one of the most renowned bands in history, never fails to leave audiences spellbound. Agnetha Faltskog, one of the members of the foursome, has chosen to lead a solitary existence despite the group’s fame. Recognized for her captivating vocals when performing alongside Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Faltskog remains an enigmatic figure despite having made a substantial impact on ABBA’s musical legacy.
A Memorable Appearance
Agnetha Faltskog’s contribution to ABBA cannot be overstated. As one of the lead vocalists, her incredible pop voice connected with the crowd, causing them to dance to the infectious beats of some songs and feel the depth of feeling in others. She left a lasting impact on the music industry and rose to fame for reasons other than her songs.
Life After ABBA
Faltskog’s curiosity with life outside of ABBA expanded along with the band’s notoriety. Following the band’s dissolution in 1983, she embarked on a solo career but quickly discovered how much she missed the responsibilities of the music industry. She was able to live a more comfortable and serene life since her priorities shifted to center around her own interests and objectives.
America’s “most inbred family” has apologized after the person who brought their story to light claimed they had been dishonest the entire time.
America’s ‘most inbred family’ have issued an apology to the man who uncovered them.
Photographer Mark Laita discovered the Whittaker family about 20 years ago, but he didn’t start filming their lives right away.
He stayed in contact with them and went back to their home in Odd, West Virginia, to begin filming in 2020.
\The family consists of three siblings named Lorraine, Timmy, and Ray. Their parents were reportedly first cousins.
After the Whittaker family appeared on Mark Laita’s Soft White Underbelly YouTube channel, they got a lot of attention and were labeled as “the most inbred family” in the U.S.
Although Mark had a good relationship with them, he decided to end it after discovering they had been lying to him.
The family told Mark that 67-year-old Larry Whittaker had died earlier this year. Mark helped them raise money for the funeral and even gave $1,000 of his own money.
However, Larry wasn’t actually dead. When Mark found out, the family apologized for lying, but they went on to deceive him again.
The photographer, Mark Laita, gave Larry Whittaker $700 to help him take his daughter BJ to North Carolina to start a new life. But Larry didn’t do that and kept the money for himself.
Even though Mark said he wasn’t going to see the Whittakers anymore, he visited them over the summer. He filmed the visit and posted it on YouTube this month. In the video, Larry shakes Mark’s hand and apologizes for everything that happened.
“It’s been a long time,” Larry says to Mark. “I’m sorry for what they did to you, and I want to tell the world that I’m sorry.”
Mark accepts the apology and says he missed them. “I’m very good at forgiving and understanding,” Mark shared. “I’ve missed you guys, and I think my viewers have missed you too.” He even joked that the Whittakers probably missed the money they made from being on his YouTube channel.
Now that they’re on speaking terms again, Mark set up another GoFundMe for the family in late August. So far, the page has raised a little over $600 out of a $100,000 goal. The money will go toward helping the family with living expenses and taking care of their home.
