Sabrina told The Sun back in 2020. ...My mom always argued with my dad about his affairs, he was a serial cheat. I remember that was always the main thing they'd talk about. ...He is a selfish man, lives only for himself, he just uses his kids to get what he needs. He's not a dad, he was just a sperm donor.

We went from having everything to nothing. The best dresses, parties, we'd go places. Now there was no new shoes or clothes. I thought I was dad's favorite and he loved me to death. ...But once he left, within a year, we became very poor. There wasn't always meals on the table. We went downhill. My mom became stressed out with six kids, trying to provide for us, she became aggressive....

Yeah, you bet it does. They know I exist. I'm his first born, he left us, but no one remembers that in the Williams story. ...I hope this will open the doors to a meeting,... Sabrina concluded.
