‘House of Horror’ survivors Jordan and Jennifer Turpin made their dream of meeting country singer Garth Brooks come true as they reveal how stealthily watching his DVD was one of the few things that brought them ‘light’ in the ‘darkness’ of their violent home . .
The sisters, whose parents David and Louise Turpin were later convicted of torture, false imprisonment and threatening, fled in 2018 after Jordan bravely climbed out a window and managed to call for help.
Now they have met one of their childhood heroes whose music helped them survive the terrible abuse, pain, torture and suffering they endured as children at the hands of their parents.
The two ladies spent time with the 60-year-old musician and his wife Trisha Yearwood, 57, on Saturday before attending his sold-out show at Petco Park in San Diego. California as part of the Garth Brooks Stadium tour.

Jennifer (left circled) and Jordan (right circled) described how stealthily watching his DVD was one of the few things that brought them “light” in their abusive home.
Jordan (left circled) and Jennifer (right circled), along with their 11 siblings, were rescued in 2018 after Jordan bravely climbed out a window and managed to call for help.
“When I was living in Hell, I had a collection of Garth Brooks DVDs,” Jennifer wrote on Instagram, along with a series of photos from the concert.
One showed her, Garth, and Trisha smiling together in an empty arena, and the other showed her staring at a T-shirt he signed for her while looking emotional. She also posted videos from the entire show.
She continued: “When [David and Louise] left, I snuck in and turned them on on our TV. Thank you @garthbrooks for lighting up our darkness.”
On Jordan’s side, she posted a picture of herself hugging the Friends in Love Places artist while talking about how much fun she had at the concert.
She said, “I had so much fun today! I love you Garth, amazing show tonight! Many thanks! God bless!’
Jordan managed to escape her parents’ home in Perris, California, where she, Jennifer, and their 11 siblings lived before she called 911 and alerted the police to her parents’ abuse.

Details later surfaced of how the Turpins beat and starved their children, chained them to their beds, and denied them basic hygiene such as showering, which only happened once a year.
The two women shared photos of themselves with the artist as well as various clips from the concert.
The children were mostly kept in their rooms, with the exception of meals, which were reduced from three meals a day to one meal a day, a combination of lunch and dinner.
For many years, the siblings’ diet consisted of only two slices of peanut butter bread or sausage.
The couple were also accused of taunting their children with food they weren’t allowed to eat. Turpin’s parents ate fast food in front of them and chained the kids to dirty beds if they tried to steal the food.
When the children were rescued, all but the two-year-old were very underweight.
Parental abuse and neglect was so “violent, widespread, [and] extended” that it slowed their children’s growth, led to muscle wasting, and made their two daughters unable to have children.

Their parents, David and Louise (pictured), were later convicted of torture, false imprisonment and threatening.

Last year, the Turpins’ parents pleaded guilty to multiple felonies and were each sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 25 years.
Jordan is now thriving on her own and has become a budding tik tak a star who has amassed over 600,000 subscribers for her hilarious dance videos as well as clips of her trying out makeup and modeling different outfits.
As for Jennifer, she also frequently shares photos and videos online and has over 38,000 followers on tik tak and 60000 on Instagram.
However, it was not so easy for their other brothers and sisters. Both women invited their supporters to donate to the JAYC Foundation for their other siblings, some of whom continue to face struggles after escaping.
After being rescued, some of the children said that the social services system that was supposed to help them move on to a new life didn’t do what it was supposed to.

Riverside County hired a private law firm to investigate allegations that seven adults and six minor children in the Turpin family did not receive the basic services they needed after they were released from their parents’ prison-like home. ABC News reported in November.
Guardianships like the one Britney Spears was recently freed from allegedly prevent even the adult Turpins from accessing roughly $600,000 in donated funds, leaving them to live in poverty and on the brink of homelessness.
A criminal investigation is also underway against a foster family suspected of abusing several children, including one of the Turpins, ABC reports. The family’s lawyer denied the allegations.
According to Melissa Donaldson, director of Riverside County Victim Services, some of the children “felt betrayed” by local authorities handling their cases.
Donaldson said there were times when children didn’t have a safe place to live or enough food.
She wept as she described how the children, who had little contact with the outside world while held captive by their parents, were at times left to their own devices, trying to cope with complex bureaucracy.
