In response to his daughter's Instagram Live session, Rohan Marley has released a statement expressing his support.

"Selah's expression on Instagram is a healing process for her," Marley said. "I'm very happy that she is fearless in her expression. I love her very much and do apologize for any contributions I may have added by arguing in front of her as a child. I've grown as a man, a spiritual being, and a father. I am constantly growing and will teach my children to always take the higher road in any disagreements. I will be there for her no matter how many hours, days, months, or years it will take. I will be the best Dad that I can be. One Love."

Lauryn Hill has not responded publicly to her daughter's comments.

On Monday, Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley's daughter Selah opened up about her relationship with her parents. During her two-hour Instagram Live, Selah revealed the trauma she endured growing up with a father who wasn't around and a mother who used spankings as a way of discipline.

"Honestly guys, I'm just hurting. I can't even front that I'm not," she said. "I've been hurting for so much of my life and so much of my life has been me avoiding how much I'm really hurting just from the circumstances."

Selah referred to her mother as "an amazing woman" but also angry.

"She would spank us to no avail," Selah said. "She was just very angry. So, so, so, so, so, so angry. She was literally not easy to talk to and then half the time we didn't live with her. I lived with my grandparents half the time."

She admitted that the physical discipline calmed down once she became a teenager and is proud of the changes her mother has made over the years. But, the 21-year-old also addressed how witnessing her mother and father's arguments impacted the way she handles relationships before highlighting her father's absence.

"And then it clicked again and I was like, 'Wow, where is my father? Like where is my father?'" Selah continued. "And I just came to [the] conclusion of how much of my life I've f***** up and how much of me is f***** up simply because my dad just wasn't around. And like, there's just a void where there should be a person and it's honestly really hard."

Neither Rohan Marley nor Lauryn Hill has commented on Selah's remarks.
