Da Brat, Jesseca Dupart Say Death Threats Followed White Sperm Donor Choice

Dupart says genetic screening left no Black donor matches in their IVF search.

Overview

  • Da Brat said online harassment escalated to threats targeting their son after they disclosed using a white donor.
  • In a 107.5 WGCI interview, Dupart said entering seven genetic markers into the donor system returned no compatible Black candidates.
  • The New York Daily News reported the couple told People that some messages urged them to miscarry, and Da Brat had previously experienced a miscarriage before their son's 2023 birth.
  • A 2023 remark on their reality show comparing the only Black donor option to "Jiminy Cricket" drew accusations of colorism, which they later said was taken out of context on The Tamron Hall Show.
  • Dupart characterized the selection as compatibility-driven and cited a reported scarcity of Black donor sperm at about 3% in the marketplace.
