The claim was made during an extensive interview in which Bhabie discussed her difficult upbringing as well as her time spent in Turn-About Ranch. She also spoke about the alleged abuse she experienced throughout her youth.

During an interview with Fletcher, the 22-year-old artist stated that she was allegedly abused during her initial years of fame through her Dr. Phil appearance when she was only 13 years old.

She further alleged to Fletcher that she faced abuse from her bodyguard between the ages of 13 and 16.

Bhab Bhabie also claimed that she had older boyfriends when she was 16 years old, which contributed to her troubled teenage years. She stated that she had reported the alleged abuse to authorities multiple times, but did not see justice served.

She expressed frustration over the lack of legal action, asserting that no abusers faced arrest despite seeking justice. The interview did not disclose the identities of the people Bhab Bhabie accused of abuse because legal restrictions required the concealment of all names.

The conversation also touched on her ongoing feud with Alabama Barker, the daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The two have had a heated rivalry, which included diss tracks and online exchanges. This tension particularly escalated after Bhabie accused Alabama of dating Le Vaughn despite knowing about their relationship.

Bhabie expressed that she still holds resentment toward Barker, despite the drama that has unfolded between them.


Bhad Bhabie has also returned to music, with her rap battle against Alabama Barker fueling her creative output. She continues to evolve as both an artist and a public figure, channeling her personal experiences into her work.
