Shantel Jackson’s defense against Floyd Mayweather’s allegations
While Shantel Jackson admitted recording phone calls with Floyd Mayweather, she claimed to have done it to protect herself. According to an article from Yahoo! Entertainment, in response to Mayweather’s lawsuit against her, Jackson shared some revelations of her own:
Shantel Jackson claimed that Floyd Mayweather’s behavior and conduct were the reasons for her taping him. Jackson also believed that the law allowed her to record Mayweather because he was committing crimes against her.
Shantel Jackson initially sued Floyd Mayweather in 2014, accusing the multiple-time world champion of assault, battery, defamation and invasion of privacy. She also accused him of stealing close to $3 million in jewelry from her in the aftermath of their breakup. Mayweather countersued Shantel in response, accusing her of using his credit cards without his permission and stealing his money.
Shantel Jackson has now dropped her civil lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather, dismissing all claims against the fighter. According to a recent report by Radar, Jackson’s filing asks the court to close the case once and for all.
