What happened between Bhad Bhabie's mother and the rapper's friend? Altercation details and possible charges, explored

Bhad Bhabie’s mother, Barbara Bregoli, was recently involved in an altercation with one of the rapper’s friends, Ricky.

According to a report in TMZ, Bregoli could face legal charges following the incident, which took place at Bhabie’s home in Florida earlier this month. The report stated that Bhabie regularly has friends visiting her place even when she is away from home; however, her mother doesn’t like the people who are staying at the property.

Bregoli reportedly received a security alert that someone was in the master bedroom of Bhabie’s house, which prompted her to call the police. Bhabie was at her California home at that time. The mother-daughter duo live separately but they co-own the house.

When Bregoli arrived at the house, she allegedly got into an argument with Bhabie’s pal, Ricky. According to the reports, Bregoli informed the officers that she was carrying a gun.

What do we know about Bhad Bhabie’s mother’s altercation with her friend?

TMZ reported that Bhad Bhabie’s mother, Barbara Bregoli, became involved in a heated altercation with one of her daughter’s close friends, Ricky. When she was alerted about the security breach, she rushed to the house and clashed with Ricky, one of the rapper’s close friends.

Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Peskowitz Bregoli, told the police that Ricky has been staying at the premises for several months. Ricky and Barbara both called the cops. It was reported that Ricky felt threatened by Barbara and is now thinking of pressing charges against her.

Insiders claimed Barbara went to the property to confront her daughter’s friends, since she disapproves of them staying there. While Ricky is thinking of pressing charges, Barbara has a different story to tell.

Barbara told the cops that Ricky hurt her while trying to rip the phone out of her arm. She shared pictures of her bruised arm. She said she only pulled her gun because she believed he had become 'extremely violent' toward her.

However, the police concluded that Barbara was the aggressor, although she was not arrested.

Bhad Bhabie shares a strained relationship with her mother, Barbara Bregoli, a report in The Blast suggested. This is not the first time that Barbara has interfered in the rapper’s life to allegedly harass her friend.

Complex reported that Bhad Bhabie and her mother were involved in a scuffle over racist remarks at the beginning of this year. She called out her mom for racism in a series of since-deleted Instagram stories.

“My mom calls Black people monkeys I smacked the shit outta her for calling my deceased friend a dead monkey,” she wrote. “Wanna see the video?”

In the video, Bhad Bhabie appeared to attack her mother when she came downstairs. However, sources claim that Barbara didn’t make any racist comments, and the video was from last year.

In July 2025, Bhabie again called out her mother, demanding she “stay out of her life.” She wrote:

"I bought you a million dollar house, you have 2 Benz's, one Bentley. You still on payroll," the "OG Crashout" rapper wrote. "STAY OUT OF MY LIFE, an[d] stop harassing me an[d] my friends and stop spreading false stories to the media outlets because your mad."

This latest altercation adds to the mother and daughter’s long history of public disputes.
