Doja Cat has been embroiled in several controversies since releasing her first EP, Purr!, in 2014.

If you call yourself a 'kitten' or […]

Sawyer also alleged that Raman had physically abused and threatened her over the past year, citing an incident that occurred earlier this month.

Sawyer was granted protection from Raman by court order and a hearing for a permanent restraining order is pending. (Sawyer also reportedly had a restraining order against her son in the past, but that has since expired.)

The judge noted that the “Paint the Town Red” singer would have to file her own request for a restraining order.

We have reached out to Doja's rep for comment and are still trying to reach Raman.

Since releasing her first EP, Mustaches!In 2014, Doja has had her fair share of ups and downs over the years.

In July 2023, Doja faced backlash after rejecting her fanbase's unofficial nickname, 'Kittenz'.

“My fans don't call themselves st,” she wrote in a now-deleted Threads post. “If you call yourself a 'kitten' or f-king 'kittenz' it means you should give up your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”

Last year, Doja was involved in an online feud with Noa Schnapp after he leaked their messages discussing her crush on his costar Joseph Quinn.

Saying that young people are “saying stupid shit,” Doja added that the Stranger things The star's actions were 'borderline snake s–t' and 'like weasel s–t'. Later that month, Schnapp, 19, said he apologized to Doja and the two made up.

Despite this, Doja apparently lost over 200,000 Instagram followers We weekly reported at the time that her number of followers had dropped from 24.34 million to 24.14 million.

After Doja was linked to a comedian J Cyrus in November 2022, her fans pointed out her new boyfriend's past controversies, including manipulating some of his Twitch site moderators. He later seemingly apologized for his past actions in a since-deleted social media post, calling himself “careless” and “disrespectful.”

When a fan account shared a post about Cyrus' allegations, Doja clapped back in a now-deleted Instagram comment, writing, “I WANT YOU TO READ THIS COMMENT AND TAKE IT AS A MESSAGE. I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE I NEVER HAVE AND WILL NEVER CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME OR MY PERSONAL LIFE GOODBYE AND MUCH SALVATION.'
