AceShowbiz - Doja Cat's mom has been granted a permanent restraining order against her son after accusing him of being abusive toward her and his famous sister. Raman Dalithando Dlamini has been ordered to stay away from his mother Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer for five years.
According to RadarOnline.com which obtained a copy of the court documents, a hearing in the case was held earlier this week. Raman did not appear at court despite being served with notice of the hearing.
At the hearing, the judge heard testimony from Doja's mom before granting her request for a restraining order. The order will expire on January 31, 2029, the judge said.
Deborah filed a request for restraining order against her son in January. In the legal documents, she listed her daughter Doja, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, as another person who needs protection from Raman because her 30-year-old son allegedly knocked her daughter's teeth out.
Deborah claimed that Raman has given Doja cuts and bruises, and destroyed and stolen some of the 28-year-old star's property. She said in the docs that Raman was verbally abusive toward his sister "in a very degrading and demeaning manor [sic]" and that Raman has made Doja feel "unsafe and traumatized."
As to what her son did that caused her to live with "constant anxiety and fear" for her physical and emotional well-being and safety, she claimed her son had "choked me and threatened to hit me several times." Raman allegedly told her he is "waiting on me to die" and that he won't be happy until "I'm swinging from a rope."
Deborah said Raman once berated her in front of her grandson, who is Raman's son. In January, the judge granted Deborah a temporary restraining against Raman, but 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.
Raman has denied the allegations made by his mother, telling The Shade Room that he hasn't seen "anybody in years." He added, "There's no story," while insisting that he did not get violent with his mother.
Doja has not spoken up on the matter and has yet to file her own paperwork.
