Floyd Mayweather Sued By The Mother Of His Children Domestic Violence Victim Josie Harris For Defamation In Calling Her A Drug Addict During Katie Couric Interview (Video)

 

Floyd Mayweather

Josie Harris, the mother of three of four of boxer Floyd Mayweather's children, has filed a $20,000,000 lawsuit against him in court for defamation of character and emotional distress. In the days leading up to Mayweather's massive May 2, 2015 fight against top rival, Manny Pacquiao, the boxer did a widely disseminated interview with Katie Couric.

During the interview Mayweather stated of claims he beat Harris in acts he was convicted of in criminal court, "Did I kick, stomp and beat someone? No, that didn't happen. I look in your face and say, 'No, that didn't happen.' Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs? Yes, I did. So if they say that's domestic violence, then, you know what? I'm guilty. I'm guilty of restraining someone."

Josie Harris

Harris contends she is not a drug user and Mayweather has defamed her to the world with these statements. Harris' lawyer stated, "Mayweather’s vicious lies about Harris, made to a world-wide audience, were designed to hype Mayweather’s upcoming fight with Pacquiao (in which Mayweather is believed to have earned a staggering nine-figure income), to avoid bad press by deflecting responsibility for beating the mother of his children, and instead, to cast Harris as a violent, drug-abusing, aggressor who needed to be restrained. These lies were calculated to cause severe harm to Harris both personally and professionally...Floyd “Money” Mayweather could not afford the bad press, public outcry and backlash that would have certainly resulted had he truthfully answered Katie Couric’s questions about the morning of September 9, 2010. Instead, Mayweather chose to tell lies about Harris: lies that labeled her as a drug-abuser and an aggressor."

Mayweather was arrested and jailed for punching and kicking ex-girlfriend Harris, in a jealous rage, because she began dating famous NBA basketball player, CJ Watson. Mayweather has several girlfriends, but expected loyalty from Harris, the love of his life, though they were no longer an item. However, as they were not married, she was free to date whomever she felt like pursuing a relationship with. Harris was not the aggressor, as Mayweather broke into her home as she slept on the couch and began beating her for dating Watson. She was repeatedly punched in the head and in order to properly view the bruising, doctors would have needed to shave her head, creating more trauma.

Harris stated during the beating Mayweather yelled, "I'm going to kill you and the man you are messing around with. I’m going to have you both disappear." The former couple's three children witnessed the beating. Their son Kouran ran to the gated community's guard gate for help, requesting they call the police. Kouran stated to police, "I heard yelling and I came out and my dad was hitting my mom. It happened at 4 a.m. in the morning." The then 10-year-old boy also stated he saw his dad "punching and kicking" his mother. Kouran later referred to his dad as "a coward" over the incident. 

Harris has a case. Mayweather was convicted of beating her and went to jail for 2-months. This will go against him in civil court and not play well with the jury. Mayweather has to prove Harris was using drug at the time of the incident and if her medical records do not reveal such an item, he is liable for defamation and the accompanying damages.

Mayweather was also convicted of beating two of Harris' female friends at a night club in Las Vegas years ago. He also faced police investigation for punching Melissa Brim, the mother of his eldest child, on two separate occasions, which left her with injuries.

This is not the first time Mayweather's verbal claims have gotten him into trouble. Years ago, rival boxer Manny Pacquiao sued Mayweather for publicly stating he uses performance enhancing drugs and will not submit to drug testing, allegations the Filipino star denied. The case changed court venues, then Mayweather settled it out of court.

The Mother Of Floyd Mayweather's Children Tells All And His Son Calls Him A Coward For Beating Her

Floyd Mayweather

In what was a sad article, Josie Harris, the mother of three of boxer Floyd Mayweather's children, was interviewed by USA Today about the athlete. Harris did the interview in support of her forthcoming tell all book about the boxer. During the interview, Harris recounts the worst beating she alleges she received from Mayweather, which led to him being arrested and sentenced to 90-days in jail.

Harris stated Mayweather entered her home (he pays for) without permission and read affectionate text messages on her phone, between herself and NBA basketball star, CJ Watson. Mayweather, who was in a relationship with Shantel Jackson at the time, became jealous anyway and according to Harris, punched and kicked her repeatedly.

Josie Harris

 

Mayweather's oldest son, Koraun, who was 10-years-old at the time, snuck out through the back of the house and ran to the security post in their gated community. Koraun asked the security guards to call the police, summoning help for his mother. Kouran and his two younger siblings witnessed the beating in something they will never forget.

USA Today wrote, "Koraun says recalling the attack on his mother still makes him angry, yet the most difficult part to cope with has been Mayweather's refusal to admit to his actions. 'He is a coward,' Koraun said, and he hugged his mom." His children are clearly traumatized by the incident. They will need counseling to process and work through the things that have happened. Therapy as a family, Mayweather included in the sessions, would be beneficial.

Shantel Jackson

Mayweather denies hitting Harris, but a court was not convinced and sent him to jail. It was another in a string of legal cases reported to police, accusing him of beating several women in separate incidents. More recently, Mayweather was sued by Jackson, who is from Miami. She did not go to police to report the alleged domestic violence that she stated occurred on three occasions. The Judiciary Report was the first to break the stories concerning Mayweather and gold digger Jackson (Floyd Mayweather's Ex-Fiancée Shantel Jackson Sues The Boxer For Beating Her Confirming What This Site Previously Stated She Would State and Shantel Jackson Confirms She Is Going To Do A Tell-All About Boxer Floyd Mayweather Confirming This Site's Previous Claims). 

The Judiciary Report broke the stories after being informed of a domestic violence problem between the two, but Jackson has embellished some of the claims in her lawsuit. However, violence of a more serious nature did occur regarding Harris. The problem for Mayweather is Harris fell in love with him and in the site's humble opinion, loves him the most of the women in his life. This made her unwilling to put up with him having sex with different women, which she correctly deemed cheating.          

     

Floyd Mayweather and Koraun Mayweather. Floyd needs to apologize to Harris and his children over the domestic violence incidents.

When a woman does not love you and mainly wants your money and to leech off your fame, she will look the other way to cheating and just about everything else. A woman who is truly in love with you will become angry at the cheating and demand it stop. She will not be content with being a concubine or sharing  you with other women. She will show she is upset and even walk away.  

Many domestic violence cases go unreported, because the woman being abused does not want her abuser to get into trouble and face jail. However, abused women cannot remain in those situations. It is not safe. You may very well love him, but at the end of the day, for the sake of yourself and also if you have children, you cannot continue to allow your safety and or theirs to be jeopardized. At the end of the day, domestic violence is wrong. Men and women with violence issues, who are striking their partners need to go to anger management and forsake those dangerous ways

Charles Watson, the dad of Chicago Bulls basketball player, CJ Watson, has denied his son is engaging in a sexual relationship with, Josie Harris, the mother of boxer Floyd Mayweather's three children. Mayweather was arrested for severely beating Harris, after reading text messages between her and Watson, indicating the two are engaging in sexual relations.

Mayweather, threatened to kill Harris and Watson, vowing to make them "disappear." His children witnessed Mayweather beat their mother. His eldest child, 10-year-old Koruan, gave the police a statement to that effect, regarding his dad, "Punching and kicking" his mother.

Josie Harris

Watson's dad, fearing his son will be killed, acknowledged CJ knows Harris and hired her to do party planning, but denied the two are dating. He is clearly being a concerned dad, trying to save his son's life, in the face of Mayweather's death threat. However, his statements are at odds with text messages, which led Mayweather to believe, Watson, has been having sex with the mother of his children.

While the Judiciary Report does not agree with pre-marital sex, Mayweather, has no right to be possessive over Harris, regarding who she is dating, as she is his ex-girlfriend, not his personal property. Furthermore, why vindictively attempt to evict her from his home, as his children live there as well.

CJ Watson

Mayweather needs to remember, his children are witnessing all of this and shall not forget it, as it is a trauma. He needs to change his behavior, as it has become very destructive. It is only by the grace of God that one of the punches he rendered to the back of Harris' head, did not create a fatal brain hemorrhage. Mayweather owes Harris and his children a serious apology.

The violence against women by famous men is growing more disturbing with each incident that hits the headlines. Famous men are supposed to set an example, yet often behave worse than anonymous individuals. Violence against women is wrong, regardless of who engages in the criminal misconduct.

Floyd Mayweather and R&B singer Keyshia Cole

There is a trend in Hollywood of famous men abusing their ex-wives and ex-girlfriends, even though they are dating other people. Case in point, Mayweather has been dating famous women and unknowns, yet became enraged with his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his children, for finding someone else. It is as though famous men seek to keep a stable of women, like a harem, where females are to be solely devoted to them and no one else.
