A woman who has pushed for a DNA test to “prove she’s Madeleine McCann” broke down in tears on a live stream after her family allegedly shunned her over the claims.
Julia Faustyna believes she is Madeleine McCann, a girl who disappeared in 2007 during a family trip to Portugal at just four years old.
The 21-year-old went viral on social media after sharing supposed “evidence” that she is Madeleine – including having freckles in the same place and a speck in her eye.

But in her latest Instagram post on her account @iammadeleinemccann, Julia broke down in tears claiming her family who raised her have called her to express their disapproval over her campaign.
In the video, which has gained more than 507,000 views, Julia said: “My grandma called me.
“She said that I’m a very bad person, that she doesn’t want to meet me anymore. She started to shout at me.
“I asked her for a DNA test with her or with my parents and she will not take a DNA test with me and I can’t say she has to do it.”
She continued to claim that her family have branded her “not normal” for giving “hope to the McCanns”.
Julia says they think she is a “horrible person” who they “don’t want to know anymore”.

A few minutes later she started sobbing, saying that she “feels alone” and revealed her relationship with her partner is also on the brink.
She added: “I am alone. My boyfriend wants to leave me too – because of this case.”
The woman also shared messages she has allegedly received from her mum saying she “is sick”.

Her mum said she needs “psychiatric help” and accused her of “setting up a circus”.
The message reads: “You are sick, Julia. I’m selling the house and none of us will answer the phone if you call, for everything you’ve done and the embarrassment you’ve put me through.”
In response, Julia snapped: “Now, I’m crazy.”

After her initial video was seen by millions, the McCann family have since requested a DNA test after she claims she was previously ignored by police.
A source close to the McCanns told the Daily Star: “The family are taking no chances, they are willing to look at all leads.
“It is important they look at all of the factors, the girl does look similar. There’s no disputing that. If what she says is true, there is every chance it could be her. It all adds up.”
