Boxer Floyd Mayweather is coming off of yet another victory as he remains undefeated as a boxing champion, but his victory was easily overshadowed by the nasty feud between his baby mama Josie Harris and his girlfriend Shantel Jackson. Both ladies have been clear in their lack of fondness for one another and it has easily spilled over into rather interesting beefs on Instagram and jabs thrown in interviews. Most recently, Josie told TMZ she was furious with fashion designer Michael Costello for designing the same dress Shantel wore to the boxing match against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for her 10-year-old daughter. According to reports, Josie wasn’t happy to see daughter and Shantel in the same dress at the fight, and she also complained the look was too mature for a 10 year old. She even took a moment to accuse Shantel of being a gold digger and claimed she only came back into the picture after she learned Floyd would get about $44 million for the match.
The fashion designer Michael Costello told TMZ that Josie should have paid more money if she wanted her daughter to rock an exclusive dress, but now he’s taking even more shots at Josie and says she’s only complaining about the dress because she’s so jealous of Shantel. He tells Hip Hollywood:
“I think that Josie is blowing it entirely out of proportion and again making things about herself. I think she is obviously sad that she’s no longer with Floyd and that someone else who she may be a little jealous of is now with him.
“But asking for a refund or asking for like an apology, or asking us to bend over backwards basically because you didn’t get the spotlight that you wanted. We are sorry but take the backseat, you are no longer the main prize, someone else is.”
Yea he might be right she probably is jealous but sir why are you giving interviews to TMZ. You are a fashion designer go do fashion not gossip interviews this could hurt his business.
Cosign.
Agreed. He looks like a douche right now.
I completely agree girl.
I think everyone has come to this conclusion already sir.
He’s acting very catty and unprofessional. Is this really what the fashion industry has come down to? First D Wade’s stylist shades Russell Westbrook on Instagram, and now this. SMH.
Really dude? LOL.
All three of these adults are acting like children. Josie is a hot mess, Shantel too, but did he really need to say this? Who didn’t come to this conclusion already? It didn’t even need to be said.
This is so messy and unnecessary.
This is such a bad look for this designer. Just let it go.
I kind of understand why he’s saying something. Josie was trying to ruin his reputation, he kind of had to say something. But I think he made have said a little too much. LOL.
LOL! Man who hasn’t figured this out already? Josie is about as desperate as they come. But you would have to be pathetic to deal with Floyd Mayweather, He’s a misogynistic a-shole.
Duh. LOL.
We all know she’s jealous. That was clear a very long time ago. But Josie isn’t a unique case. There’s plenty of women out here sadly holding on to men they really shouldn’t be holding on to.
He’s right but this was uncalled for. A whole interview? For this? Really?
Josie is fully aware that she’s pathetic. She doesn’t care. LOL.
I see everyone saying that Josie is jealous….ok…..I agree….BUT it was tacky for Miss Jackson to wear the same exact dress as his daughter…..the designer is being messy and was messy for allowing Miss Jackson to wear THAT piece KNOWING he had just made it for Mayweather’s daughter.
People just can’t keep their mouth shut anymore smh. He must think this is a good move, but it’s not. It makes him appear unprofessional. He knew how this woman was when he took her paycheck. Don’t try to bash her now…even if she really, really deserves it
