Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Admits Childhood Abuse From His Mom In 'The Golden Boy' HBO Documentary

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There reached a point when Oscar De La Hoya couldn't figure out how to escape the facade he presented for years. A hailstorm of press coverage was met with his perfect run in 1992 Barcelona Olympics. De La Hoya was the only member of the U.S. Olympic boxing team to return home with a Gold medal, which at the time he insisted was in honor of his departed mother Cecilia who he and his family lost two years prior to breast cancer.

Not to make light of it, but didn't everybody who wasn't born in the last couple of decades get hit by their parents?

It sounds like she hit him for doing dumb stuff like running in front of a car.

I know some people are genuinely abused and that's terrible but sometimes I think society should go back to giving your kids a whooping when they are doing ****** things or disrespectful.

That lack of tough punishment is why there's so many little sissies dancing on TikTok today and a generation that can't handle anything tough.

Now you know DeLaHoya is known for making **** up so there's that.

Agreed: My Mum always clobbered me when I was in bother back in the 70's as most did. Dad never did, it was always Mum. It was just the done thing & we got on with it.

Makes you wonder what was really going through his mind during those final instructions.

he was probably thinking about which jailbait he could sleep with next. Oscar loves em young! It's a part of his culture!

I was severely abused as a child and honestly held I'll will towards my Dad until my early 20's and although I still dont understand why he did it I eventually forgave him. The way I see it is it made me resilient among many other positive things I brought out of it.

Jane Donovan should’ve done his research. This is old news. Oscar said this since even before the documentary, he said it on that George Lopez podcast about his mom hitting him as a child . Nothing new
