Was Ira Peskowitz really an absent father?

According to Ira’s ex-wife Barbara, he has failed to be a father. Barbara, 55, said she knew from the start she would go it alone. Similarly, on Father’s Day, a father’s mother also mentioned raising a child alone. She came up with an Instagram post and captioned it:

“Happy Father’s Day to me as I have always been and always will be the ONLY parent in my daughters lives – I have been through all the ups and downs, good and bad, happy and sad. Through every milestone of waking up, talking, first tooth, first everything – I was 35 when I had her and knew from the start that I would go it alone and I was fine with that and still am. Sometimes it’s better not to have a parent around who never wanted you around than to force them to be around. Danielle and I still face challenges BUT we will always be there to support each other as we are ALWAYS & FOREVER a TEAM “Barbara & Danielle Est. 26-03-2003” @bhadbhabie“

In addition, some online tabloids have also listed Ira as an absentee figure as a father/husband. When he wasn’t there in his daughter’s life, did you know she had a lot of legal trouble? As Bhabie lived alone with her mother, she started committing criminal activities and even stole her mother’s car to visit Miami.

When Barbara couldn’t handle her daughter’s behavior, she enlisted the help of Dr. Phil so that her daughter would come to her senses. After the mother-daughter duo walked in Dr Phil‘s show, Danielle became known around the world for her phrase.

She tried to say, “Catch me outside, what about that?” But because of her accent, it sounded like “Cash me ousside, how bow dah?”

Ira Peskowitz’s daughter was sent to rehab

After the show with Dr. Phil, his daughter Bhabie was sent to the Turn-About Ranch, a facility for “troubled teens” in Escalante, Utah. Nevertheless, her condition worsened and in July 2017 she was sentenced to five years probation. Fortunately, she got out earlier in March 2018, after hiring a new lawyer.

Additionally, in 2021, Danielle revealed that she had been treated badly at the Turn-About Ranch. Dr. Phil denied the allegation in an interview with NewsNation, saying he was unaware of the rehab center’s action and did not receive any updates from them.

Ira Peskowitz claims his daughter was “groomed” to make money off OnlyFans

Ira Peskowitz has claimed that his daughter Bhabie is now an adult star. He also said that she made $50 million in just a year after opening her OnlyFans account. The rapper has kept her account private with the bio, “19? It just got crazier, DM me. I’m here every night to respond.

In addition, her father says that her outfit and behavior are all related to sex. In an interview with The sunsaid Ira,

‘Was she taken care of? Absolute. With the way she dressed and the way she behaved, everything was sex related and encouraged by those around her. Who in their right mind thinks ‘Ah she just turned 18 so now it’s time to make money on OnlyFans’, you don’t think of that in a few days time there must have been some preparation when she was not yet 18.”

For Ira it wasn’t normal, and it’s abnormal to pay to see a barely legal girl explicit. He thinks it’s sad that people have treated his daughter like a product.

He further stated that,

“Everyone here just wants her to make money. She doesn’t rap anymore, she doesn’t sing anymore and she doesn’t tour. She sits in her house and does her OnlyFans. I don’t know how many hours a day they tell her to do it, but to make that kind of money must be time consuming. I know there is a leaked video of her with a bunch of girls doing sexual things.”

Ira Peskowitz reveals why he had to give up parental rights

As we mentioned above, Ira was not by his daughter’s side when she was a child. Well, the police officers claim the exact opposite. According to the reports, he has reportedly started an unsuccessful Go Fund Me to raise money to fight a custody battle to get his daughter back into his life.

From The sunIra has said that his daughter was brought up wrong after he gave his daughter to a Dr Phil episode. Ira thought he would be determined to get his daughter the help she needed. Likewise, Peskowitz’s goal was always to get his daughter what she really wanted.

He told,

“I wanted to give Danielle the proper health care and help she needed regarding her hardships in life, from her problems in school, her behavior with others, her drug abuse, all those things. I wanted to be able to help Danielle in a nurturing and normal atmosphere that a child would go through, not through this nonsense.”

Unfortunately, after several months of legal battles, he felt he had no choice but to give up his family. He claimed that there was no positive result after entering the courtroom. Even the judge cut him off when he wanted to talk.
