Radio host Matt Pinfield had a ‘massive stroke,’ daughter confirms in conservatorship bid
Matt Pinfield, a previous MTV personality now radio host, experienced a stroke a few weeks ago, and the impact goes beyond just his work commitments, as stated by his daughter.
38-year-old Jessica Pinfield, daughter of the ex-music executive, declared in court papers submitted this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court that her father, aged 63, is no longer capable of managing his health and financial matters. On Monday, she filed a petition to assume the role of conservator for her father and his assets. Legal documents reveal that the senior Pinfield had a severe stroke on January 6, 2025.
A spokesperson from Pinfield, who has previously worked as an MTV VJ, told The Times that he is still in the hospital and currently under a short-term guardianship. However, they declined to provide any further details about his health status.
According to TMZ, Jessica Pinfield and her sister Maya, aged 24, have requested a court order to prevent outsiders from touching their father’s finances. At the time of The Times’ inquiry, a representative for Jessica declined to comment immediately.
