Doja, 28, is said to have been left with ‘cuts and bruises’ after an altercation with her brother, which also led to her property being destroyed.
The filing alleges that the Grammy Award winner, known for hits Kiss Me More, Say So, and Vegas, has been left ‘unsafe and traumatised’ by his actions.
It claims the most recent violent incident happened earlier this month, but it is not clear how far back the other claims date.
Deborah has been granted the order by a judge, but Doja has been told she would need to file for herself to continue.
The news came just hours after Doja was confirmed as one of Coachella’s 2024 headlines, alongside No Doubt and Lana Del Rey.
Doja, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, is set to head to the UK in June for the new leg of her Scarlet Tour.
These shows will take place in Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Newcastle.
Doja recently opened up to Ebro in a vulnerable interview for Apple Music about becoming a big name in music and how it’s affected her.
She admitted: “I’m way too f***ing famous, 100 percent. I’m doing what I can slowly but surely to separate myself from this kind of narrative or whatever this world is that I kind of built. I’m fine-tuning it and tailoring it to what I want out of it.”
Doja said she likes to have a private life and has been “through a lot” and is less involved with social media these days after some controversies.
