Mayumi Heene Nationality: The Real Deal Answer

Everyone's asking about Mayumi Heene's nationality. If you don't know her, Mayumi is the balloon boy mom who now admitted that she is accomplice to the hoax that she and her husband Richard Heen cooked up in order to get world attention. Yep, they entirely machinated the whole imbroglio that their son Falcon was in trapped in that balloon in order for their family to be marketable to the media. Maybe, they wanted to appear on TV again as they did in Wife Swap -- now they are facing federal charges instead!

Anyway, back to Mayumi Heene nationality issue, some think that Mayumi Heene is Filipino. Nope, Mayumi isn't Filipino but she is Japanese. Mayumi Heene's maiden name is Mayumi Iizuka (飯塚真由美) and she was born in Japan. Richard Heene met her in Kobe when he worked there years ago. So there you have it, Mayumi Heene is of Japanese descent.

Mayumi Heene Squeals - Balloon Boy Mom Admits Hoax

Now it is all clear! The balloon boy saga is entirely a hoax that was fabricated by the Heene couple. Mayumi Heene already submitted her affidavit that states that "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence". Balloon boy mom cannot take lying any longer because it really feels awful to tell your children to lie in front of all people regarding the plan they hatched up 2 weeks earlier as they wanted to be "more marketable" to the media.

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden strongly insisted that the Heenes must face legal consequences for their conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency their children, making a false report to authorities, and attempting to influence a public servant. These charges are may carry a maximum sentence of six years in lawful custody. See the Reuters report.
