...mother's has a history of her own
Essa é uma situação em que é melhor usar outras palavras para dizer a mesma coisa, já que a estrutura da frase não se acomoda bem à gramática em inglês. Eu recomendaria traduzir a frase inteira da seguinte forma, entre outras: "Aside from his father, deceased in 2000, Justin's mother also has a history of her own; and what a history it is."

Nota: eu acidentalmente adicionei um 's à expressão-título da resposta; o certo é "...mother has a history of her own".

...Justin's mother has her own story to tell.
This commonly used expression has quite an an English flow IMO.
Example sentence:
"Justin Bieber's Mom HAS HER OWN STORY TO TELL"
""In telling my story, I leave out my sister. SHE HAS HER OWN STORY TO TELL, and it's not my place to tell it."
