Let me preface this by saying, no one should be putting their hands on anyone. As a man, regardless of the situation unless your life is in danger, you have to walk away.
Reason is simple, when the stories, reports, Tweets and etc come out, they are only going to care about what the man did to the woman. That is just life, best way to avoid that is not put your hands on a woman ever. I know some guys will say, well if she puts her hands on me, I have the legal right to defend myself. That is factually true, but a lot of men in jail because that defense just doesn’t fly in the real world.
You ever watched a show called SNAPPED? It is about women who kill their significant others and about 50% of the time they get away with it or get a very light sentence in comparison to men who commit similar crime.
There isn’t any question that Mayweather is guilty of domestic abuse, he plead guilty and went to jail, but here are the words from his baby mama Josie Harris who is suing him for $20 million for saying he tried to restrain her during their altercation.
The interview is from 2012, when she was writing a tell-all book about Mayweather.
Josie, how’s your relationship with Floyd? With all the cheating and domestic violence, do you forgive him?
Josie Harris: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a d***. I have forgiven him, I’m over it. I did my s***. I’ve hit him over the head with a Tonka truck when I found out he was cheating on me. We had a pretty volatile relationship. Anyone who knows us, knows that. For him to put another ring on another chick’s finger, then come over to my house and try to control me and who I’m having sex with (C.J. Watson)… I mean that’s just him. She ain’t the only one that got a ring. He the ring master, there’s a couple people that got a ring. He’s just about that life. I didn’t deserve the abuse, my kids didn’t deserve to see that. We have gotten into to it before but what was most disturbing is that my son had to get help for me because had no idea how long it was going to last. Floyd’s beyotch-ass friend was watching the whole time as he put his hands on me, he even tried to block my kid from leaving.
How long was the violence in you and Floyd’s relationship going on?
JH: It started from the beginning, not the very, very beginning but it escalated. We started feeling like we were each other’s possessions. If I wasn’t violent with him, I’d get violent with the b*****s.
How about Floyd, how’s he in bed?
JH: He’s boring in bed.
Josie you are working on a book…tell me about it?
JH: It’s a book about my relationship with Floyd, we’ve known each other and been together since we were 16. Our relationship was very passionate with an incredible love but it was volatile. We tried running each other over with cars, pulling guns on each other… Crazy s***! We were extremely possessive of each other and I tell it ALL in the book! I’m finally in a better place where I can talk about it.
Wow, you’re not worried about legal repercussions or backlash from the book?
JH: I told Floyd to suck my d***. Seriously. It’s not about Floyd or me, it’s about the kids and making money to provide for and support them. Why wouldn’t he give me that as the mother of his children? I want him to write the forward to the book!
PD: Would you sleep with Floyd again?
JH: Yes, but only if he had a drink first. Sober Floyd is boring and I like to have fun in bed!
Doesn’t sound like the most stable relationship. Once again, no excuse for Mayweather to put his hands on anyone if they aren’t in the ring, but why wouldn’t anyone mention that Harris has admitted in her own words that she was violent with him as well?
That doesn’t quite fit the narrative, so it gets conveniently left out. Harris didn’t deserve to be abused, but that doesn’t mean her own abuse is OK. Trying to run over people with cars, pulling guns and hitting people over the head with Tonka trucks isn’t NORMAL.
This always has been an abusive relationship and they both need some counseling to work on their relationship for their kids sakes.
