Floyd Mayweather domestic violence accusations denied by boxer? Floyd Mayweather might be known for his talent in boxing, but people also talk about his pretty interesting personal life just as much as his skills in the ring. The boxer has made it clear in past interviews that he believes he has the right to sleep with multiple women despite being engaged to Shantel Jackson, but Shantel cosigned his beliefs and says she doesn’t mind him having other women on the side. But one woman who does find it pathetic that Shantel has agreed to be cool with her fiancé’s knack for having so many women on the side is his baby mama Josie Harris. And he has a very strained relationship with Josie.
Josie accused the boxer of assaulting her and he was sentenced to 90 days in jail for misdemeanor battery assault in 2011. Despite pleading guilty to the charge, the boxer tells Sister 2 Sister Magazine that he is not a woman beater and he only restrained Josie from hitting him. He also claims she was acting crazy because she was allegedly drunk and on drugs at the time:
“Okay, I just want to say, what I do for a living, I’m in a contact sport, right? And if they say someone had bodily harm done to ‘em, since I’m already a fighter, before even giving me a chance, they’re going to say. “He’s guilty.” Now, restraining a woman that’s on drugs and alcohol, have I ever done that? Yes, from going crazy.
“Holding them like, “Relax. You’ve been drinking. You’re not 100 percent coherent. Relax.” You know, to where they say, “Okay, he’s kicked and beat a woman,” but we’ve yet to have proof. Of course if Floyd Mayweather has brutally beaten a woman, you’re going to show pictures. And like I always say, no disrespect to the Simpson family, but you’ve seen OJ and Nicole. No disrespect to Chris Brown and Rihanna, but you’ve seen Rihanna. But you’ve yet to see pictures of Floyd Mayweather and a battered woman. And the thing is, if I’m beating all these women, why do so many women find me interesting and want to be within my circle?”
Josie still maintains that Floyd attacked her.
Then why did he plead guilty?
I guess.
Well Josie could be lying. We saw how messy she is!
Then he should have pled not guilty then, right? Then just maybe people wouldn’t think he is abusive towards women.
Floyd is a fool with money. And we know what happens to a fool and their money…
I’m starting to think Floyd has a thing for messy women.
He’s so overrated. He never fights the people that could actually beat him.
Countdown til I leave this J O B and go to the movies to see The Best Man Holiday!
Yet he’s still sleeping with Josie. Interesting.
He needs more people.
