@Jacob The mother is the only one that makes even the tiniest shred of sense given limited context.  His dad is clearly not in this picture, and they called him a "half-breed".  A mother turning abusive after a bad divorce isn't a good thing, but it's at least plausible.  There are many unfortunate people out there who grew up with a resentful parent (or are currently doing so).

His sisters have no such reason to hate him.  They call him "useless", but there's no clear examples of him harming them or causing trouble with their careers.  Unless his "support" made them worse off in some way the story clarifies, it makes no narrative sense for them to be that hostile and that definitely comes off as forced.  At most, they should be indifferent.  Even that is cold.

@S_logic to be fair if the mother is like this it's not far fetched for the sister to be taught to hate him and all men by the mother
Also by working in the entertainment industry the older ones may have some bad experience with men so that could also be the spark of some hate
