♪

Her name's Malia, my niece, she got recruited

by this Rachel Reeves, and started hanging out

at the studio with D.C.

He has a way with young women.

The charm, the lifestyle, the money,

it completely changed her.

She stopped listening to her friends and family,

became obsessed with him.

When was this?

Two years ago.

I sent messages, but nothing gets through,

but I heard she was back in L.A.

So D.C. won't let you talk to her?

(Bill) No, said Malia told him her mother abused her

and wanted nothing to do with us.

Wouldn't even pass on the address

of where she was staying, busy making music.

Haven't heard a record she's made, that's for sure.

So she fell for this D.C.?

To me it was a simple case of him taking advantage of her.

He's an older guy, flattered her, bought her things

said, "Stick with me and you'll be somebody,"

but they're being softened up for other things,

and I think it's for sexual exploitation.

What?

No, Blake would never,

ever get involved with anything like that.

Once they get under his influence,

once he starts throwing money at 'em, things change.

Here, look at this.

When I saw Blake that day,

-I decided to follow her home. -Did you talk to her?

No, I figured if Blake is as starstruck over this D.C.

as Malia was, then she won't rat on him.

But I'm hoping you would, being her mom.
