James and Devonda Friday are accused of kicking five foster kids out of their home after going on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in 2012. The North Carolina couple surprised with a 3,900-square-foot home to provide proper space for the foster children, who are biological siblings. Now, two of the children claim the couple kicked them all out of the home shortly after the house was complete and cameras stopped rolling. “I felt like they were my mom and dad. I loved them like they were my real parents” Chris Friday revealed in a recent local TV interview. “What they did to us was just wrong. [They] threw us all out.” According to the teen, he was sent away to a group home a couple of months after filming completed, ostensibly due to his “bad attitude.” He was told it would be a temporary stay. Not the case. “Why did I have to leave? I just didn’t understand it. And it made me feel not wanted, you know? You gave me away. Parents don’t do that. No.” A year after the episode aired, Chris claims that all five children were kicked out, and he believes the Fridays to be financially motivated. His sister Kamaya agrees with his take, adding: “I know it was all about the money. From the first day, it was all about the money. That’s all [Devonda’s] about, money. It’s money with her.” For his part, James Friday denied the claims, saying “no one kicked Chris or Kamaya out of the home. That’s a DSS and social service matter.” According to The New York Daily News , a family court hearing took place in 2015 regarding the matter, but court records are sealed.
