The NBA is opening up its investigation into some drama between Lakers player Jaxson Hayes and his ex-girlfriend Sofia Jamora. And get this, it’s all because of some fresh new video evidence that just popped up! The video captures Jaxson shoving and spitting on his ex-girlfriend.
The incident that went down in 2021 between Jaxson and Sofia pushed the NBA to look into it. But now, with this new video that’s come to light, they’re like, “Hold up, we need to take another look at this!”
Hayes, who was playing for the New Orleans Pelicans when the incident took place, was arrested in July 2021 after police responded to a domestic disturbance call in Woodland Hills, California.
Almost one year later the 24-year-old was sentenced to three years of probation, 450 hours of community service and a year of weekly domestic violence cases after pleading no contest to resisting arrest and false imprisonment.
Despite the legal verdict, the NBA chose not to discipline Hayes following its own investigation. Yet three years on from the incident that could now change with the league reopening that investigation.
Early Sunday morning, TMZ Sports shared five-and-a-half minutes of security camera footage of the dispute in question between Hayes and Jamora.
The Lakers center first appeared to pull his then-girlfriend out of a doorway at around 1:35am while she said: ‘Stop! Let go of me!’
After she ran into another room off-camera, Hayes followed her before shouting: ‘What the f*** is wrong with you?’
Jamora, who had initially blamed Hayes’ dogs for injuring her smaller pup before the argument broke out, can be heard telling her partner to ‘get out’ before he eventually reappeared on the Ring cam at around 1:47am.
The basketball player’s cousin tried to calm him down to no avail as he returned to Jamora’s room before a loud crash was heard. The latter then appeared to shout in pain while asking him to stop once again.
Just after 2am, the couple were shown leaving the residence and continuing their argument in the driveway as Jamora said: ‘I’m not going to let you hit me anymore. What the f*** do I look like, a punching bag?’
Not long after she made that comment, Hayes appeared to shove Jamora aside and walk away, before turning around to spit in her direction in a disgusting moment.
The influencer was then heard telling his cousin to get him off the premises before admitting: ‘I don’t know what else to do.’
Photos taken after the incident show Jamora’s legs and arms covered in bruises.
‘As a result of the media report and video posted this morning, we are reopening our investigation,’ NBA spokesman Mike Bass is quoted as saying by ESPN.
So, buckle up, folks! This NBA investigation just got a whole lot more interesting, and who knows what other surprises are in store. Stay with BSO for all the updates, because this story is far from over!
