Why Rachel Dolezal was reportedly outed by her parents
After all these years why did Rachel Dolezal parents decide now to out their daughter?
The Rachel Dolezal story has been hitting social media airwaves. She’s been thrusted into news because her parents outed her as being white. Dolezal has been disguising herself for years as a Black bi-racial.
But have any of you ever wonder why after so long her parents would decide now to out their daughter?
Dolezal suggests it is because of a sex assault charge against her older brother. Moreover, a plan by her parents to damage her credibility, according to the New York Daily News.
According to the site, Rachel had been assisting a victim who had accused her biological older brother of child molestation in Colorado. She previously suggested the timing of her Montana parents’ media interviews about her racial identity was connected to the case.
Joshua Dolezal, 39, was charged in 2013 with four felony counts of sex abuse of a victim against a minor. At this time, Joshua remains out on bail. The case is set to go to trial later this summer, sources confirmed.
Rachel became estranged from her parents Larry Dolezal and Ruthanne Dolezal and cut off contact with them sometime after her 2004 divorce, according to The News. The Dolezal parents had adopted four black children, and Rachel took her adopted brother Izaiah Dolezal to live with her when he was a teen.
She is expected to speak to the Spokane chapter of the NAACP on Monday.
