Lauryn Hill’s Daughter Selah Marley Speaks On Her Mom’s Beatings As A Child

Lauryn Hill’s Daughter Selah Marley Talks Beatings: “That Was Some Slave Sh*t”

Lauryn Hill’s daughter Selah Marley, has spoken out about the beatings her mother allegedly used to give her when she was just a child. She says her mother was “amazing,” but her beatings were merciless.

“I’ve been hurting for so much of my life, and so much of my life has been me avoiding how much I’m really hurting just from the circumstances,” she said.

Selah went further to tell her followers that her dad Rohan Marley not being in her life led her to having daddy issues. The model then details beating with Lauryn’s belt. “She[Lauryn Hill] was just very angry. So, so, so, so, so, so angry,” she began.

“She was literally not easy to talk to and then half the time we didn’t live with her. I lived with my grandparents half the time. It’s crazy, I’m playing this trauma back in my head as I speak to you.”

She continued, “She would have one of the kids “go get the belt,” and when they returned, she would hold their hands up, so they were hanging “as she beat us. Literally, just like that.”

“And then the threats, the constant threats… That belt man. That’s that slave sh*t. That was some slavery sh*t. All Black parents were on that sh*t,” she added.
