However, the mother-daughter duo appears to be doing well, as Claudia has taken to social media for a second time to discuss where her relationship with her mom lies. "I know it's not really anyone's business, but I kind of made it everyone's business, not intentionally," Claudia began her series of TikTok videos on Tuesday, July 6.

The former America Idol contestant admitted she was in a bad place when she made the slew of shocking accusations against her mother. "I was seeking help earlier this year," and last year, "because I was in a state where I didn't know what to do," Claudia confessed. The teen then acknowledged that she understands many people are probably confused on her "situation" at home.

Wrapping up her rant, Claudia emphasized that she will be using her platform to help others grow while she also works on herself. "Time teaches you growth, time teaches you to break that cycle. That cycle of unhealed traumas," she stated. "That cycle of abuse. You don't have to live like that. Fortunately for me, my mother and I worked through it and we are good."

Apart from Kellyanne facing shocking claims made by Claudia, the 54-year-old was under investigation after a topless photo of her minor daughter was allegedly posted on her Twitter account, a spokesperson for the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office exclusively told OK! in February.

One day after the photo was allegedly posted on January 25 to Kellyanne's Fleets on Twitter — similar to Instagram's Story feature, deleting 24 hours after it is posted — four police officers visited the family’s New Jersey mansion. That same day, Claudia coincidentally retracted past controversial statements she made, noting that she was quitting social media for the time being.
