In a shocking turn of events, Doja Cat's family struggles have come to light as her mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, filed for a temporary restraining order against Doja's 30-year-old brother, Raman Dalithando Dlamini. The legal documents, recently obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, paint a distressing picture of alleged physical and verbal abuse within the family. According to the filed documents, Doja's mother accuses Raman of physically and verbally abusing not only her but also his famous sister, Doja Cat. The claims include serious allegations such as Doja having her teeth knocked out by Raman, sustaining cuts and bruises, and experiencing property destruction and theft at the hands of her brother.
The legal filing goes on to detail instances of Raman's alleged verbal abuse towards Doja Cat, describing it as "very degrading and demeaning."
