The daughter of North Carolina Congressman Greg Murphy announced that she has ‘rejected’ the politician as her father after he supported the Senate’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, explaining that she now refers to him as her ‘sperm donor’ rather than her dad and hasn’t spoken to him in ‘months.’
Neve Murphy, who goes by her middle name Caroline online, opened up about her decision to stop speaking to her dad, who has represented North Carolina’s third congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019, on TikTok after he shared a tweet claiming that ‘no one forces anyone to have sex’ while discussing abortion online.
Caroline called his post ‘very upsetting,’ especially since she was sexually assaulted in college – after which, she claimed her father helped her fill out the police report about it.
The TikToker added that she was ‘really embarrassed’ to be related to him, explaining that she now calls her dad her ‘sperm donor’ because she has ‘rejected him as a parent.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Murphy’s spokesperson for comment.

Greg has represented North Carolina’s third congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019. He is seen in July 2019

‘Really, really embarrassed to admit this is my sperm donor,’ she began in the video, while showing off a screenshot of Greg’s tweet, which has since been deleted.
‘I was just made aware of this tweet, I don’t follow this man on social media for a very specific reason, and that is because of bulls**t like this.
‘I was sexually assaulted when I was 21 and he helped me fill out the Title IX report. He came to college and helped me do it.
‘Obviously this is very upsetting, women should always have the right to choose, regardless of any other circumstance and that should always be true. The Supreme Court sucks.’
According to a 20-year study done by the CDC, almost three million women in the U.S. experienced rape-related pregnancy during their lifetime.
Specifically, of women who were raped by an intimate partner, about 20 per cent reported that their partner had tried to get them pregnant when they did not want to or tried to stop them from using birth control. About 23 per cent reported their partner refused to use a condom.
In the caption of the TikTok, which has been viewed more than two million times since it was posted last week, Caroline added that she hadn’t spoken to either of her parents in seven months, and that she had no plan to ever talk to them again.
‘I went no contact with him and my “mom” seven months ago and will never speak to them again,’ she wrote. ‘Women will always deserve the right to bodily autonomy, full stop.’
The TikToker added that she was ‘really embarrassed’ to be related to him, explaining that she now calls her dad her ‘sperm donor’ because she has ‘rejected him as a parent’
Caroline said she wanted to ‘clarify’ that he is her biological father, so she shared photos of her and her dad from when she was a kid and from when she was in high school
Greg made headlines in the past for controversial comments, stating that President Joe Biden was ‘fighting dementia,’ and calling Vice President Kamala Harris a ‘walking disaster’
In the comment section, Caroline said she also wanted to ‘clarify’ that Greg is her biological parent, explaining that she uses the term ‘sperm donor’ because she ‘rejects him as a parent.’
She also shared photos of her and her dad from when she was a kid and from when she was in high school to prove that he is indeed her father.
In a follow-up video, Caroline opened up about why it’s taken her so long to speak out about the matter, explaining that she was afraid of ‘harming the relationship her brothers have with her parents,’ as well as ‘the relationship her parents have with each other.’
‘I never want any woman to feel like I am not on her team to support her decision to do whatever she wants to her own body,’ she added.
‘You do not need to have a daughter or a daughter who was sexually assaulted or any woman in your entire life to know that a woman deserves the right to choose.’
Greg has made headlines in the past for his controversial comments. During Joe Biden’s presidential campaign against Donald Trump in 2020, the congressman claimed Biden was ‘obviously is fighting the ravages of dementia.’
He also called Vice President Kamala Harris a ‘walking disaster’ who ‘was only picked for her color and her race,’ in a now-deleted tweet.
Many people flooded the comment section with messages of support for Caroline, thanking her for her ‘extreme bravery’ and for speaking out about the ‘incredibly hard topic’
Many people flooded the comment section with messages of support for Caroline, with one person writing, ‘Trying and failing to not start crying. Thank you for speaking out in relation to this incredibly hard topic, we are proud of you.’
‘I’m so sorry,’ added someone else. ‘The apple fell very far from the tree love. You are amazing.’
Another said, ‘Thank you for speaking out, sharing your story, and for being strong.’
‘I want to hug you. You are extremely brave,’ read a fourth comment, while a fifth said, ‘I’m sorry, love. It’s always worse when it’s people who should be protecting you.’
‘It’s an incredibly difficult thing to realize your parents aren’t who you innocently thought they were as a child. Stay strong,’ wrote a different user.
Caroline’s comments come days after the bisexual daughter of a Republican Iowa senator revealed that she cut off her ‘narcissistic’ and ‘abusive’ father after he supported a ban on abortion.
Korynn Dickey, 20, from Iowa City, said she no longer wanted to speak to her dad, Adrian Dickey, after he joined 59 other legislators who signed a bill urging Iowa’s Supreme Court to overturn a previous ruling which called abortion a ‘fundamental right.’

While her dad didn’t vote on Roe v. Wade, Korynn (seen with her dad and brother) said his support on the brief was ‘enough for her to cut him off and no longer claim him as a parent’
She opened up about her decision to end her relationship with her dad to TikTok, after she said he ‘contributed to taking her rights away as a woman.’
‘I had to cut my dad off,’ she wrote in the video, which quickly went viral and has since been viewed more than than 572,000 times.
‘See, I’m a bisexual Pisces and he is a Republican state senator who contributed to taking my rights as a woman away and the possibility of me being able to marry the girl of my dreams one day.’
In 2018, the Planned Parenthood v. Reynolds case ruled that every woman had a ‘fundamental right’ to terminate a pregnancy in the state of Iowa, but a new brief signed by 60 officials, including her dad, is trying to revoke it.
While her dad didn’t vote on the recent Roe v. Wade ruling, Korynn said his support on the Iowa brief was ‘enough for her to finally cut him off and no longer claim him as a parent.’
