This Josie Harris-Floyd Mayweather Jr. dysfunctional love-hate relationship is a real potboiler.
If the pair spoke Spanish, any producer worth his or her salt could easily turn it into a sizzling telenovela.
Harris, 32, the Baby Mama and off and on lover to the undefeated, 33 year old Mayweather, comes across as a compulsive liar and he has been looking like an enraged, possibly deranged “home invader” who is alleged to have battered her in front of their children. It’s been futher alleged by her that Mayweather threatened those children and promised to “take care of” Harris and her alleged new lover.
Latest breaking news item, if you consider such mundane details as news, is that the father of NBA baller CJ Watson, a man named Charles Watson, informed celebrity tattletale site TMZ.com that his son is definitely, absolutely, not and never has dated the lissome Harris.
Poppa W, whose Chicago Bulls player son calls himself “Quiet Storm” on his Twitter account, has a a girlfriend named Danielle. Young Watson, age 26, is not some young stud pursuing and bedding the older Harris, the father said.
Watson’s Dad told TMZ that his La Vegas raised (he played for the Gorman HS Gaels, the city’s top Catholic school before going to college at Tennessee) son’s only link to Harris is that she was hired by him to do some “event planning.”
I’m sure that job description does not include setting up “Money May” to go into a violent, jealous rage at five in the morning which precipates a 911 call to Las Vegas Metro Police Department.
C.J.’s dad — who says he talks to C.J. every day — also tells us, “I know for sure that Josie is not his girlfriend … she did some event planning for C.J., but other than that, they have no relationship whatsoever.”
Charles adds, “C.J. would never do anything like that to Mayweather [Jr.] … he doesn’t need that.”
If what Watson’s father said is true, it’s another credibility problem for Harris and for prosecutors if they elect, as Vegas cops have recommended, to add domestic battery charges to the grand larceny charge which put the boxer in jail for a few, short hours Friday.
In the background, you have goofball rapper and Mayweather’s “bromance” partner 50 Cent sending out Twitter flashes that insult Harris and praise Mayweather’s supposed soon to be bride, hottie and model Shantel Jackson.
If Mayweather is that enamored of Jackson, who likes to wear sexy police costumes, why would he throw a conniption over Harris’ social habits?
Somehow, I think there’s plenty more “dirt” yet to be dug up here.
Don’t forget that Harris can also be afflicted by green eyed monster jealously as she was in 2003 when she told cops that Mayweather slapped her about in his Bentley.
Charges were brought but, when she took the witness stand in 2005, Harris was no angry woman.
Instead, she purred about Mayweather being “a teddy bear” and said she knew for certain that he “would never lay a hand” on her.
Talk about a waste of prosecutors’ time and good taxpayer money!
Maybe these two deserve to be together.
Romeo and Juliet, this is not.
And the soapy story rolls on…
Teddy Atlas must be showering five times a day as he follows this Baby Mama drama on the web.
