In 2017, a restraining order was filed against her after she was accused of hitting her granddaughter in the face, leaving a cut across her forehead, which occurred when the granddaughter stayed at her home. She denied all allegations, and nothing came of the supposed altercation. One of the reasons why there is very limited information about her current endeavors is due to the lack of any strong online presence. She doesn’t have accounts on any of the major social media websites, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
