Dana White details the emails that fractured his relationship
\nwith mother June White<\/h2>\n

White recalled one incident that marked the beginning of the end of
\nhis relationship with his mother, June, who raised him and his
\nsister, Kelly, as a single mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on a trip one time, you know this was before\u2014You know, I
\ndidn\u2019t have e-mails and all that sh*t on the road, and I was with
\nLorenzo Fertitta, my partner, and we were in London for, like, two
\nweeks,\u201d White recalled. \u201cAnd when I got back, I checked my e-mails,
\nand I have a bunch of e-mails from [June] threatening me. \u2018You\u2019re
\ngoing to send me this much money. You have two options: You can
\ngive me this all upfront or you can pay me payments over the next
\nf*cking whatever, I\u2019m looking to buy a bar\u2026\u2019 or whatever it was.
\nShe wasn\u2019t getting responses because I was in London. Then the
\ne-mails started getting nastier and nastier and nastier by the end
\nand I just f*cking blew up and that was the beginning of the end
\nwith me and her.\u201d<\/p>\n

White was estranged from his parents and revealed in a 2023
\ninterview with Piers Morgan that both had recently died. He
\nacknowledged that his mother\u2019s book affected him at the time but
\nsaid he does not like speaking negatively about his parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t go on shows to speak negatively about my mother,\u201d White
\nsaid. \u201cI was telling you earlier, I wouldn\u2019t change anything.
\nPeople say, \u2018Do you think you are who you are today because of your
\nparents?\u2019 Absolutely, 100%. You know, good, bad, whatever, however
\nyou want to look at it. My parents pass away, I don\u2019t want to tell
\nbad stories about my parents, but that\u2019s one of the grossest, most
\ndisgusting things that you couldn\u2019t even imagine possible until it
\nhappens to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his estrangement from his mother, White credited her with
\nraising him and Kelly on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my sister will talk about my mom and we\u2019ll be like, \u2018How
\nthe f*ck did she do it?\u2019\u201d White said. \u201cShe was a single mom. My dad
\nwas what he was. Single mom, worked her *ss off, did all this stuff
\nand she did it. She raised two kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
