According to documents obtained by TMZ, Doja Cat’s family is going through a difficult time after her mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, filed for a temporary restraining order against the rapper’s brother, Raman Dalithando Dlamini. Allegations of physical and verbal abuse have surfaced, painting a troubling picture of family dynamics.
According to the legal documents, Deborah claims that Raman, Doja Cat’s 30-year-old brother, was responsible for physically harming the artist. Surprisingly, she claims that he knocked out Doja’s teeth and injured her with cuts and bruises in a single incident. The accusations include verbal abuse, with Deborah claiming that Raman’s hurtful remarks have left Doja feeling “unsafe and traumatized.”
The documents go on to describe alleged theft and destruction of Doja Cat’s personal items, adding to the already distressing situation. Despite these claims, the court granted a partial restraining order. Deborah was granted court-ordered protection from her son pending a hearing for a permanent restraining order. However, the judge denied the request for Doja Cat’s protection in the same order.
The judge’s decision emphasizes Doja Cat’s need to file her own restraining order against her brother. This development foreshadows a complicated legal battle for the artist and her family as they navigate these difficult circumstances. The impending hearing will undoubtedly shed light on the gravity of the situation and determine Doja Cat and her family’s next steps.
