Doja Cat’s Mother Alleges Physical and Verbal Abuse by Singer’s Brother

Deborah Sawyer Files Restraining Order Against Raman Dlamini

In a shocking revelation, Deborah Sawyer, the mother of renowned singer Doja Cat, has come forward with allegations of physical and verbal abuse perpetrated by her older brother, Raman Dlamini. This startling disclosure has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and raised serious concerns about the well-being of the Grammy-nominated artist.

Allegations of Physical and Verbal Abuse

In a petition filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Sawyer paints a disturbing picture of the abuse allegedly inflicted upon her daughter, Doja Cat, by her brother, Raman Dlamini. The petition details incidents of physical harm, including knocked-out teeth, bruises, and lacerations. It further alleges that Raman has engaged in destructive and theft of property, along with verbal assaults that have left Doja Cat feeling unsafe and traumatized.

Temporary Restraining Order Granted

In response to Sawyer’s petition, a judge partially granted a temporary restraining order against Raman Dlamini. This order prohibits him from contacting or coming near Sawyer, her 13-year-old grandson, and Doja Cat. However, the judge deemed insufficient evidence to extend the protection to Doja Cat herself, leaving her to file her own restraining order if she chooses to do so.

History of Abuse and Previous Restraining Order

Sawyer’s petition reveals a troubling pattern of abuse by Raman Dlamini, not only against his mother but also against Doja Cat. Court records indicate that Sawyer had previously obtained a restraining order against her son in 2017. The recent petition alleges that Raman has abused his mother “3 to 10 times recently” and “several times in the past.”

Specific Incident on January 10, 2023

The petition highlights a particularly disturbing incident on January 10, 2023, where Raman Dlamini allegedly blocked his mother from entering her home and refused to leave. He is also accused of verbal abuse, choking her, and threatening to hit her on multiple occasions. Sawyer’s 13-year-old grandson witnessed some of these alleged incidents, prompting her to request his inclusion in the restraining order.

Emotional and Psychological Impact

Sawyer’s petition emphasizes the profound emotional and psychological impact of the alleged abuse on Doja Cat and herself. She expresses constant anxiety and fear for her safety and well-being, fearing not only physical violence but also the lasting mental and emotional damage.

Conclusion

The allegations of physical and verbal abuse against Doja Cat by her brother, Raman Dlamini, have brought to light a disturbing reality. The singer’s mother, Deborah Sawyer, has taken legal action to protect herself and her family from further harm. While a temporary restraining order has been granted, the full extent of the abuse and its impact on Doja Cat remains to be seen. The entertainment industry and fans alike await further developments in this deeply troubling case.
