The
“Agora
Hills”
singer’s
mom
claims
in
a
recent
court
filing
that
Doja–full
name
Amala
Ratna
Zandile
Dlamini–was
abused
by
her
brother.
According
to
reports
from
TMZ,
the
star’s
mother,
Deborah
Elizabeth
Sawyer,
made
the
accusations
in
a
court
filing
for
a
temporary
restraining
order
against
her
son,
30-year-old
Raman
Dalithando
Dlamini.

In
the
filing,
Sawyer
alleges
that
Doja
also
needs
protection
from
Dlamini,
claiming
that
he
has
given
her
cuts
and
bruises
along
with
being
responsible
for
stealing
and
destroying
some
of
her
property.
Sawyer
also
claims
Dlamini
is
verbally
abusive
to
his
sister
“in
a
very
degrading
and
demeaning
manor
[sic]”
and
has
made
her
feel
“unsafe
and
traumatized.”
Sawyer
goes
on
to
allege
that
her
son
has
been
physically
abusive
and
threatening
toward
her,
even
accusing
the
30-year-old
of
knocking
out
his
sister’s
teeth.
According
to
TMZ,
the
judge
granted
Sawyer’s
court-ordered
protection
from
Dlamini
pending
a
hearing
for
a
permanent
restraining
order.
Unfortunately,
Doja
didn’t
get
the
same
relief,
with
the
judge
saying
that
the
performer
would
have
to
file
her
own
request
for
the
same
protection.
While
this
seems
like
an
awful
situation
for
any
family
to
go
through,
it
looks
like
this
is
something
the
family
is
used
to
dealing
with.
Doja’s
mom
has
said
she
previously
had
a
restraining
order
against
her
son,
but
it’s
since
expired.
