Tiffany Thornton : Disney Star in Child-Abduction Drama

Former “Sonny with a Chance” star Tiffany Thornton has been accused of abducting her own children, according to E! News.

Chris Carney, Thornton’s husband, recently filed a report with the LAPD claiming that his wife kidnapped their two young sons, 20-month-old Kenneth and 3-month-old Bentley. Carney is reportedly convinced that Thornton moved the children out of California to Texas without his consent.

However, the Disney star’s attorney has lashed back at Carney’s accusations, telling E! News:

“Mr. Carney’s claims are false and are being dealt with in the proper forum. The fact that Mr. Carney has chosen to contact the media to publicize these claims raises serious concerns for Ms. Thornton, who does not believe that Mr. Carney’s desire for media attention is in the best interest of the parties’ two young children.”

Additionally, Carney’s mother told TMZ that her son was an alcoholic who had recently gotten out of rehab. While she was in L.A. to help her daughter-in-law with the kids, Carney apparently began to act “crazy and drunk” and she left with Thornton and the children in order to protect them from Carney’s behavior. En route to their drive to Texas, Ruth Carney says that Thornton FaceTimed her husband every day from the car, so he knew exactly where they were and where they were going.

Carney has reportedly told TMZ that he is not an alcoholic, but a social drinker. He had previously been arrested for drunk driving and for possession of cocaine before seemingly turning his life around, becoming a devout Christian and marrying Thornton in November of 2011, the Ark Times reports.
