The attorney representing Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s ex-girlfriend Josie Harris released a statement Friday criticizing Conor McGregor for making a reference to a domestic violence incident that landed Mayweather in jail.
According to TMZ Sports, Harris was upset McGregor was spotted wearing a C.J. Watson jersey after Mayweather accused Harris of texting the former Golden State Warriors point guard before he assaulted her in 2010.
“[The stunt] demonstrates not only an insensitivity toward the emotional wellbeing and privacy of the victim of Mayweather’s dom. violence, but also a general disregard for the physical and emotional trauma and long-lasting psychological impacts suffered by victims of dom. abuse,” attorney Dan Friedlander told TMZ.
“On behalf of Josie Harris, her and Mayweather’s three children, and all victims of domestic violence, we ask that Conor McGregor refrain from capitalizing off of the trauma suffered by her and other victims of domestic abuse.”
Mayweather served two months of a 90-day sentence after he pleaded guilty to a reduced battery charge and avoided a trial that could have sent him to prison for a maximum of 34 years.
