Bhad Bhabie’s latest Instagram livestream has ignited a firestorm, with the rapper accusing her mother, Barbara Bregoli, of using her birth to trap a man and then punishing her for it for over two decades. The 22-year-old, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, unleashed a raw and emotional tirade on July 12, 2025, exposing deep-seated family tensions that have now spilled into the public eye. Her claims, coupled with recent personal struggles, including a cancer diagnosis, paint a complex picture of a strained mother-daughter relationship and a young star navigating fame and personal battles.
During the livestream, Bhad Bhabie didn’t hold back, directly addressing her mother’s alleged motives.
“You don’t like me, you hate me, you only gave birth to me so Ira would stay with you and he left your ass anyways and you took it out on me for the last 22 years of my life,”
She said her father, Ira Peskowitz, had a brief relationship with Barbara before leaving when Danielle was an infant, a fact that seems to fuel this accusation. The rapper went further, claiming she’s been financially supporting her mother while receiving little gratitude.
“That little million dollar house you live in that you love so much? That’s in mining. Those little cars you drive? Yeah, guess who paid for those? That Bentley and that AMG? Guess who paid for those? Them little puppies you lay up with every night? Guess who paid for those? Those are mine,”
She declared, emphasizing her role as the provider.
Bhad Bhabie also revealed the extent of her support, stating,
“I was nice to you for too long. You lived in my six million dollar paid off home, didn’t pay one bill, was getting paid 20k a month. That was pocket money. You didn’t have no bills to pay. Your car is paid off. You have not one fing bill to pay.”
She accused her mother of spreading lies online and making light of serious issues like substance use, calling her “so fing miserable” and suggesting she could be “living the life” but chooses negativity instead. The outburst was partly triggered by a lawsuit over a $674,452.40 credit card debt, which Bhad Bhabie claims her mother leaked to damage her reputation.
Barbara Bregoli, who has faced public scrutiny before, has not directly responded to these specific accusations as of July 14, 2025. However, she has defended her daughter in the past, notably in November 2024, when she fiercely denied claims that Bhad Bhabie faked her cancer diagnosis. In an Instagram video, Barbara, a two-time breast cancer survivor, passionately said,
“How dare you say my daughter’s faking this, you vile piece of no good s***.”
This defense highlights a complicated dynamic where moments of support coexist with public conflicts. Their relationship has seen other flashpoints, like a February 2025 altercation where Bhad Bhabie shared a video of a physical fight, later deleted, accusing her mother of using a racial slur about a deceased friend, a claim Barbara’s side disputed.
Bhad Bhabie’s recent cancer diagnosis adds another layer to her story. In late 2024, she revealed she was battling cancer, though specifics remain private. Despite this, she continues to thrive professionally, reportedly earning over $50 million from OnlyFans and maintaining a strong presence in music and social media. Her resilience shines through, even as she navigates personal turmoil, including her strained relationship with her mother and past allegations of abuse.
In February 2025, she made serious claims that Barbara allowed her to be molested by a boyfriend and another man for three years, further highlighting the depth of their rift.
The rapper’s relationship with her father, Ira Peskowitz, has also been rocky but showed signs of mending in 2023 after years of estrangement and legal battles. This context underscores the emotional weight of her livestream accusations, suggesting a lifelong struggle with family dynamics.
