Chef Babette Davis Personal Life
Babette was born on 7th December 1950 in the boulevards of Washington. As a child, Babette was accustomed to lack because her family was poor and her mother raised the family with the little she could get. The neighborhood they grew up in made Babette, her big brother, and her small sister a victim of circumstances. Babette’s big brother found himself on the wrong side of the law and would spend time in the juvenile courts and prison. Most of Babette’s life involved surviving alongside her younger sister. At age 5, Babette was molested by a friend. It took her more than ten years to reveal this to her mother.
Although Babette survived getting caught on the wrong side of the law, toxic relationships got the best of her young adulthood. After completing school at Thomas Jefferson Highschool, Babette decided to start living instead of going to college. At 21, she got married to a drug dealer who was a heroin addict. The couple got a child but separated because the relationship turned out to be toxic. Babette confessed to Rich Pull in an interview that many times she found herself getting beat up by the man.
In her 30s, she got married to a cocaine addict and like him, she started smoking. Every bad behavior she displayed was a reflection of child trauma and the search for identity.
