Bhad Bhabie clapped back with receipts after her biological father claimed that allegations of him being absent were a “complete lie.”
In her new song “Honest,” Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, called her father, Ira Peskowitz, a “deadbeat” and claimed that he sought $20,000 instead of a relationship with her.
In an interview with TMZ, Peskowitz claimed that he previously had a good relationship with his daughter and insinuated that she was turned against him by her mother, Barbara Bregoli.
After hearing what her father told TMZ, on Tuesday (October 21), Bhabie posted (and shortly thereafter deleted) an email on Instagram, which appeared to show that a “client,” likely Peskowitz, was prepared to receive $25,000 for a “full and complete settlement” of outstanding issues.
“I paid 25k actually to terminate my FATHER parental rights years ago,” she captioned the post. “I tried to refix are [sic] relationship but it didn’t work. The only reason I gave him another chance was because LV suggested I have my father in my life.”
Included in the apparent agreement, per the post, were clauses requiring Bhabie to change her legal name, and for the rapper and her mother to no longer contact the client. In addition, per Bhad Bhabie’s caption, the client agrees to “execute the necessary perfunctory forms in the termination of parental rights case.” In exchange, the client promised to “not use any disparaging comments” towards the rapper or her mother.
The “Ms. Whitman” artist also seems to have a strained relationship with her mother, who she told to stop “harassing” her in July. “STAY OUT OF MY LIFE, an[d] stop harassing me an[d] my friends and stop spreading false stories to the media outlets because your mad,” Bhabie wrote on Instagram at the time.
The following month, Bregoli allegedly got into an altercation with a friend of her daughter’s at the home they share in Florida.
