She grew up on her parents’ farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg.[10][11][12] On 21 June 1991, Theron’s father, an alcoholic,[12] threatened both teenaged Charlize and her mother while drunk, physically attacking her mother. Theron’s mother then shot and killed him. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defence, and her mother faced no charges.[13][14]

Maybe she has a bad memory. *cough*

Would she perhaps have rather had her mother and herself killed or seriously hurt? That’s a very strange circumstance to describe as having lost her father “to gun violence”.
