But her career and her life was permanently derailed after she got into a relationship with her babys father Benjamin Bronfman, the son of powerful industrialist titan Edgar Bronfman (his family is the owner of Seagrams spirits and he is the former CEO of Warner Music Group). Benjamin’s mother Sherry is African American.
