In a distressing turn of events, court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal that Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, mother of renowned singer Doja Cat, has filed for a temporary restraining order against Doja’s brother, Raman Dalithando Dlamini. The legal filing discloses deeply concerning allegations of physical and verbal abuse inflicted by Raman upon the 28-year-old artist.
According to reports from TMZ, Sawyer outlined instances where Raman allegedly knocked out Doja’s teeth, caused scrapes and bruises, stole her belongings, and subjected her to degrading verbal abuse. The legal documents express Sawyer’s grave concern for her daughter’s safety, asserting that Doja feels “unsafe and traumatized.”
A hearing for a permanent restraining order is currently in progress, and Sawyer has been granted court-ordered protection from Raman. Despite a reported expiration of a previous restraining order against him, the judge emphasized that Doja Cat herself will need to submit her own request for a restraining order as this legal battle unfolds. The singer, known for hits like “Say So” and “Paint the Town Red,” faces a challenging legal journey in seeking protection from the alleged abuse. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
