Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Shantel Jackson were a highly publicized couple for a number of years before
Question:
Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Shantel Jackson were a highly publicized couple for a number of years before their relationship frayed and eventually ended in discord. In early April 2013, Jackson decided to end her relationship with Mayweather. However, Mayweather convinced Jackson to return to his home in Las Vegas. After a few days, the couple resumed fighting and Jackson attempted to leave. Jackson alleged that Mayweather declared he would not let her leave. According to her, Mayweather would only let her leave the Las Vegas abode under the supervision of one of his employees.
Jackson eventually moved back to Los Angeles in June 2013. In November 2013, she became pregnant by Mayweather. A December 2013 sonogram revealed twins. A month later, she terminated the pregnancy. In April 2014, Mayweather demanded Jackson take down photographs she had posted on social media that featured her and a rapper at a basketball game. After she refused, Mayweather made posts on his Facebook and Instagram accounts, “the real reason me and Shantel Christine Jackson @MissJackson broke up was because she got an abortion, and I’m totally against killing babies. She killed our twin babies. #ShantelJackson #FloydMayweather #TheMoneyTeam #TMT.” In addition to the post, Mayweather posted pictures of the sonogram and a medical report regarding the pregnancy.
In September 2014, Jackson filed suit against Mayweather for, among other claims, invasion of privacy through the public disclosure of private facts and false light. Do you believe she has a basis for either of these claims?
