Shantel Jackson and Floyd Mayweather
The richest boxer in the world, Floyd Mayweather,
has come out swinging in the lawsuit filed against him by
ex-fiancée, Shantel Jackson. The aspiring actress filed a lawsuit
against Mayweather, alleging battery and invasion of privacy, among
other things. Mayweather has responded to the lawsuit, via his
attorney, by stating, "Both parties are public figures. Abortion is
a public issue...a public figure involved with another public figure
in a public relationship can expect publicity, not privacy, about
why it ends."
Here's the problem with their legal theory being
used as a defense for invasion of privacy. It can be said Mayweather
violated HIPAA laws in publishing actual medical imaging from her
files. Mayweather could have talked or written about what
transpired, as it involves him as well, by stating Jackson aborted
their unborn twins, but lied to him that she had a miscarriage, due
to him stressing her out. However, posting excerpts from her
medicinal records is not lawful. She did not grant permission.
In an interesting tidbit, Mayweather stated in his
response to Jackson's lawsuit, "She asked me to help her become
famous." Men and women should be careful of relationships were the
other party is trying to get you to make them famous or raise their
profile. That's someone using you and not actually in love with you.
It's better to make it on your own. There's much more respect when
you do, rather than sleeping your way to the top.
Sadly, the woman who actually loved Mayweather,
Josie Harris, was a victim of domestic violence at his hands in an
incident witnessed by their children. As stated previously, the
Judiciary Report broke the story first that Jackson was going to
state Mayweather hit her and do a tell all. Jackson has since stated
Mayweather hit her and announced she is doing a tell all. However,
Jackson has embellished what truly happened in her lawsuit and her
attorney Gloria Allred needs to be careful.

Famous for Privacy

Mayweather is firing back at his ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson --
claiming he did NOT violate her right to privacy by discussing her
abortion in detail on social media ... because their relationship
was for public consumption anyway. As we previously reported,
Jackson sued Mayweather earlier this year for a bunch of different
reasons -- including assault, battery, defamation, invasion of
privacy and more. Now, Floyd is trying to get the several claims
dismissed -- and in new legal docs, he focused on her claim that he
violated her right to privacy. He starts off his argument in the
most Mayweather way possible...
