“It has been years of blood, sweat and tears—this experience has put us in a continuing state of severe depression, for myself and for each of my children,” Angela told E! News in a separate statement that day. “Tay has needed to consult with counselors for 2 hours weekly. We now have dreaded every waking moment with no hope in sight for years.”
She continued, “We now have prevailed, justice has prevailed, and God has prevailed! My daughter can pursue and achieve her dreams on her own terms, and we’re finally a comfortable family again, together.”
E! News reached out to reps for Tay and her dad Christopher Hope for comment on the time and didn’t hear back.
On Sept. 27, three days before her social media and music comeback, Tay was spotted along with her mom and her brother at a Los Angeles airport. “Her return to Los Angeles is a big step in the best direction and she will be able to now pursue her profession on her terms and begin a latest life,” the rapper’s management team told E! News in a press release the following day. “She has full control over her social media accounts now and is worked up to share who she really is.”
