For those still pondering the whereabouts of Doja Cat’s inner struggles, insights might be gleaned from a restraining order filed against her brother, Raman Dlamini.
Raman Dlamini, aged 30, found himself at the center of a restraining order in January 2023, initiated by his mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer. The contents of the order present a distressing narrative of Dlamini’s behavior, and when questioned about it, his response added an extra layer of peculiarity.
Details of the restraining order against Doja Cat’s brother:
Raman Dlamini’s public profile has been relatively low, with limited information available about him beyond being the older brother of the globally successful artist Doja Cat (Amala Dlamini). Their upbringing took place in New York and California alongside their mother. However, Dlamini stepped into the spotlight in early 2024 when the media uncovered shocking details from a restraining order filed against him.
In the protective order submitted by Sawyer, Doja Cat’s mother, alarming revelations emerged about Dlamini’s conduct. The accusations include instances of “verbal assault” against his sister, with emotionally damaging threats made towards his mother. More disturbingly, the legal documentation details previous instances of physical attacks on Amala, causing her “physical harm such as teeth being knocked out and bruises and lacerations.” The restraining order was granted by a judge on behalf of Sawyer, pending a hearing on January 31, 2024. Notably, this marks the second time since 2017 that Sawyer has sought legal protection from her son.
The scope of the order does not encompass Doja Cat unless she independently files her own paperwork. The judge cited “insufficient good cause” for Sawyer to file on behalf of her daughter.
On January 18, paparazzi spotted Raman Dlamini, who, when asked about the restraining order, initially claimed ignorance about Doja Cat. Subsequently, he stated not having spoken to anyone involved in the proceedings for years, adding another layer of mystery to the unfolding situation.
