The fact that the parents tried to SUE Tanya for defamation after her memoir was released just shows how incredibly evil they are... I hope Tanya is living her best life now. I really hope she severed contact with her parents indefinitely. Tanya is better off without them

[@RWB20]

Millions of SA fathers do exactly that to their own children.

The poor girl her father blamed her!
