In addition to preserving her son’s musical legacy, his mother, Cleopatra Bernard, has also had to deal with what happened in Onfroy’s troubled and sometimes violent personal life. Less than four years after his death, Onfroy was the subject of the 2022 documentary, “Look at Me: XXXTentacion,” which included numerous interviews with friends, family, and his former girlfriend Geneva Ayala (via The Daily Beast). Ayala had been targeted by Onfroy’s fans after he was arrested for domestic abuse in 2016.
Ayala reportedly had been beaten by Onfroy while she was expecting his child, which led to a charge of aggravated battery of a pregnant woman (via The Atlantic). He was also charged with domestic battery by strangulation, witness tampering, and false imprisonment in connection with this case. His mother, Cleopatra Bernard, sat down with Ayala for the film and listened to what Ayala went through. “My son is no longer here, and I feel like it’s up to me now to make amends and try to right his wrongs,” Bernard said.
Pitchfork reports that “Look At Me,” a documentary on XXXTentacion, begins streaming June 10 on Hulu.
