According to Amy, her father is the family member who got physical with her.

"My dad was like, ‘Amy, did you brush your teeth?’" she recalls. "And I was like, ‘Yeah, Daddy’"

"And he was like ‘No you didn’t.’ And he picked me up by the throat, all the way up to the ceiling. He was like ‘You will brush your teeth.’ And I was scared sh-tless."

Amy revealed that not only did her own father choke her because he thought she lied about brushing her teeth, but that once he even tried to run her over with a car.
