Raman Dlamini is accused of knocking out Doja Cat's teeth
Obtained documents by ET revealed that Dlamini allegedly knocked out Doja's teeth and inflicted cuts and bruises on her.
Describing his behavior as "degrading and demeaning," the filing detailed instances of verbal abuse.
The 'Go Off' singer is reported to have felt unsafe and traumatized due to Dlamini's behavior and actions.
Dlamini has also been accused of stealing and damaging some of Doja's personal belongings.
Deborah Sawyer claims her son dehumanized her on 'the deepest level'
In her filing, Sawyer detailed alleged encounters with her son as she claims she lives with "constant anxiety and fear: for her physical and emotional wellbeing and safety."
She further claimed Dlamini had "choked me and threatened to hit me several times," and stated that his words "are spoken” to “dehumanize me on the deepest level.”
She also accused him of telling her he is "waiting on me to die" and that he would not be happy until "I’m swinging from a rope."
"He has made so many comments that are so deeply hurtful and offensive that I feel I have had to block them from memory just to go on day after day," Sawyer added.
"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," she wrote, according to Radar Online.
Restraining orders were filed against Raman Dlamini in 2017
In the filing, Sawyer claimed she had been a victim of physical abuse by Dlamini on multiple occasions with threats of violence against her life over the past year.
In early January, a violent encounter allegedly took place between Sawyer and Dlamini.
The temporary restraining orders Sawyer filed against Dlamini in 2017 have since expired.
According to TMZ, a judge granted Sawyer's request for temporary court-ordered protection from her son. However, a hearing for a permanent restraining order is pending.
Though the temporary protection was granted to Sawyer, it has not been granted to Doja, as she is required to file her own request for a restraining order.

Doja remains seemingly unaffected by her mother Sawyer's accusations against her brother. The 'Streets' singer has been active on her social media platforms.
The rapper took to Instagram to share the Coachella 2024 lineup. She is set to headline alongside Tyler, No Doubt, Lana Del Rey, and the Creator.
