Rihanna Sues Her Father For ‘Exploiting’ Their Family Name
Robyn Rihanna Fenty grew up in the idyllic vacation spot of Saint Michael, Barbados. But her childhood was less than perfect. Robyn’s father, Ronald, was addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol. It led to him being violent towards her mom Monica Braithwaite.
Robyn suffered intensely due to the trauma of what she saw. On one occasion she witnessed her father breaking her mother’s nose. She started experiencing agonizing headaches, that doctors at one point believed was a tumor. However by the time she was fourteen, Robyn’s parents divorced and her health began to improve.
In legal papers first obtained by The Blast, the cosmetic entrepreneur alleges Ronald is seeking to profit from her fame.
