The story quickly gained traction on social media, with thousands sharing their opinions and reactions. TikTokers also joined the conversation, adding their own humorous takes on the situation.

As speculation continued to swirl, Celina 52 Truck Stop announced that they would be conducting polygraph and DNA tests on their employees. The news only added fuel to the fire, leaving many eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation.

Then, on March 24, the Celina 52 Truck Stop took to Facebook with what they called their “FINAL STATEMENT REGARDING CASH JAMAL BUCKMAN PATERNITY.”

The post was direct and definitive — an attempt to put the swirling rumors and speculation to rest once and for all. According to Rachel’s workplace, the DNA results from the Steve Wilkos show confirmed that Paul Buckman is not Cash Jamal’s biological father.

Rachel maintains that she was faithful to Paul and claims that Cash was conceived with her ex-boyfriend in 2021. She believes his DNA remained dormant until 2023, when she contracted Covid, which caused the DNA to activate and result in her pregnancy.

Despite the revelation, Paul has decided to stay with Rachel and raise Cash as his own, believing that the news will only strengthen their bond.

On February 27, 2024, Rachel resigned from her cashier position at the Truck Stop, receiving $100 in severance pay.

Celina 52 Truck Stop ended the press release by saying, “As Maury Povich would say, ‘Paul, you are NOT the father, but you ARE the dad.’”
