AceShowbiz - Doja Cat's brother has spoken up after their mother Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer filed a restraining order against him. Maintaining his innocence, Raman Dalithando Dlamini has denied his mother's allegations that he was being abusive toward her and his famous sister.
Raman was asked for his comments on the allegations by his mother during a walk near what looks like a public park. In a video obtained by The Shade Room, he initially gave "no comment" when asked about his mom's claim that he knocked Doja's teeth out.
Raman, who denied that a restraining order exists, claimed he hasn't seen "anybody in years." He added, "There's no story," while he kept walking, insisting that he did not get violent with his mother.
Raman is accused of being physically and verbally abusive toward his famous sister in legal documents filed by their mother. In the docs, Deborah lists her Grammy Award-winning daughter as another person who needs protection from Raman because her 30-year-old son allegedly knocked her daughter's teeth out.
Deborah also claims that Raman has given Doja cuts and bruises, and destroyed and stolen some of the 28-year-old star's property. She says in the docs that Raman is verbally abusive toward his sister "in a very degrading and demeaning manor [sic]" and that Raman has made Doja feel "unsafe and traumatized."
According to RadarOnline.com, which obtained the shocking petition, Deborah further details how she lives with "constant anxiety and fear" for her physical and emotional well-being and safety. She claims her son had "choked me and threatened to hit me several times."
She adds that Raman told her he is "waiting on me to die" and that he won't be happy until "I'm swinging from a rope." She says, "He uses these bullying tactics to manipulate me into giving him more money, more money then what is rational and reasonable. It puts additional stress on me to work so hard, and then he abuses me and it's hard for me to recover to complete my work tasks."
Deborah says Raman once berated her in front of her grandson, who is Raman's son. "The possibility of having a peaceful household to raise my grandson is completely compromised with this erratic behavior. There are many times [his son] does not want him to come over to the house," she claims.
Deborah, who says she's the legal guardian of the 13-year-old, has been granted court-ordered protection from Raman pending a hearing for a permanent restraining order. The judge, however, did not grant the same protection for Doja, reasoning that the artist would need to file her own request for a restraining order if she fears for her safety.
Doja has not responded to the allegations leveled at her brother by their mother.
