GloRilla‘s parents, siblings, family, and personal relationships have landed in the spotlight after her sister, Victoria Woods, called her out for allegedly neglecting her, their parents, and their other eight siblings. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, Victoria took to Facebook to claim that Glo doesn’t like her family members. Additionally, she went on to allege that their mom just loaned their dad $100, while her mom needed almost $2,000 to afford her $2,400 rent. Furthermore, Victoria alleged that Glo blocked their mother, which prompted Glo to share texts, apparently showing her mom thanking her for her help.
Ultimately, the back and forth escalated with Victoria doubling down on her claims and even mentioning Yo Gotti. Then, by Thursday, February 5, Glo shared a few reposts, seemingly chastising her sister for “begging” and needing to log onto “Indeed.com.” The posts led to Victoria sharing her frustration about how Glo allegedly forgot about her siblings after they “struggled” growing up, and she made it out.
Now, The Shade Room’s taking some time to look back at what GloRilla previously shared about her parents, siblings, and upbringing in Memphis.
