Danielle Bregoli, known professionally as Bhad Bhabie, has claimed she was sexually abused as a child by her mother’s former boyfriend and another man.
The 22-year-old rapper and OnlyFans creator shot to fame at 13 when she appeared on Dr. Phil, where her mother portrayed her as a troubled teen who stole vehicles and often showed aggressive behavior.
Her catchphrase “Cash me ousside, how bout dah” quickly went viral, and she was sent to the Turn-About Ranch facility for “troubled teens” in Utah. In the latest episode of Ari Fletcher’s Dinner With the Don series, she opened up about her experience and the abuse she endured.
“Do you think shows like Dr. Phil really be helping?” Fletcher asked her around the 9:50 mark of the episode, as seen above.
“No,” she answered. “First of all, they sent me to a fucking program. They put the wrong person on the plane. They needed to be putting my mama on the plane, not me. … I was supposed to be there for 101 days, I was there for six months.”
Fletcher mentioned that Bregoli previously stated she was left “traumatized” from the experience. As far back as 2021, the rapper talked about mistreatment staff inflicted on kids at the ranch, including withholding food as punishment.
“Somebody died when I was there,” Bregoli told Fletcher. “One of the kids killed one of the staff members when I was there. … They monitor your letters, so if you tell your parent what’s going on there they’ll not send your letter out. … There was kids there getting molested.”
Fletcher asked if she was molested during her time at the facility.
“Not there,” she replied, but added that she was “molested” twice during childhood. Fletcher hugged her as she explained further.
“I was molested by my mom’s ex-boyfriend [censored] from 3 to 6, and then I was molested by my [censored] from 13 to 16,” Bregoli said. “And then I had 30-year-old boyfriends when I was 16, 17, 18.”
The two names she mentioned were bleeped out, likely to protect Bregoli. She said she told someone about the abuse, including authorities, but nothing came from her accusations.
“I’ve been through a lot, I’ll be all right,” Bregoli said as Fletcher tried to control her emotions. “I done been through it.”
