Girl, Stop! Floyd Mayweather’s Ex On Abuse: “Hey, S**t Happens!”

I guess at some point, you have to put things behind you.

If you follow boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather, you know he he served two months in jail for assaulting his ex-girlfriend and childrens’ mother, Josie Harris, in 2010 (he plead guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence).  Josie said Floyd hit her a few times and threatened to kill her all while their kids were present.

Somehow, TMZ spoke to Josie earlier this week and she has decided to let bygones be bygones.  She told them:

S**t happens. I’m not mad at him at all … I love Floyd to death.  Floyd loves his kids and is a great father. He would never do anything like that again … I’m sorry the situation happened … now we will just progress and start over and move forward together.”

Now before we go reading her for this profession of forgiveness, we have to keep in mind that they have three children together and it is important that parents try to be as cordial as possible so they’re able to effectively raise their children. In that respect, I get it; you have to work to get to a good place so that your children won’t suffer.  I know they haven’t been on the best terms in recent months so it couldn’t have been easy for her to say and believe her own statement.

That said, I’m not sure how she got to the “s**t happens” part or how she figures he’ll never do anything like that again.  Abuse doesn’t “just happen” and the first time it happens does not tend to be the last.  Of course, they aren’t together anymore so it just may not happen to her but she should probably be careful when saying he would NEVER do something like that again.  I’m sure she didn’t expect him to hit her when he did either.  I can’t understand why she’s sorry it happened; has he said he’s sorry for this too?

The profession of love and just the entire statement seems…weird.  If you read too deep into it – and who doesn’t – it almost sounds like she was paid to say that or will be paid for speaking so highly of him.  Whatever it is, I’m sure their children are just glad they’re getting along.

What do you think? Can you just “get back to love” after an assault at the hands of your significant other happens?

    I think..it would be nice if incidents like these could be taken as a final warning to haul a** and find safety but…people don’t fall out of love in a day the way many of us wish they would. If they did we wouldn’t see so many so many attempts to work on broken marriages and relationships. It’s a process, and being that these two are link for life by their children and pretty much HAVE to be in contact it isn’t gonna be a cut and dry process. If this is how she feels there is no changing her mind. I just hope for the best for both of them and their family..

    these ads are so annoying I can’t even read the article without one of them popping up while I’m reading, 3 times since I opened this page!

    I don’t know about this one. In several other interviews she’s said similar things, basically that they abused one another, pulled guns on each other, had drag out fights over cheating etc etc. But the fact she seems so matter of fact about it is sad because it shows her deference to the situation. She’s supposedly writing a tell all so I guess we’ll see.

    That man is abusive and will strike again. And since he did those things in front of the kids he isn’t a good dad. What child wants to see their mom punched in the face? If he paying her to stay away good for him.

  • Ms_Sunshine9898

    sounds like a classic case of a victim taking up for their abuser, not to mention 3 kids and that man still didn’t marry you? he clearly doesn’t feel the same way. . .

    • Kayo

      Maybe she didn’t want to marry him.

    The woman has more money than sense!

  • Reese

    Money does wonder, so many women (and men, too) are willing to give away their dignity, pride, and self-respect for some money. This man beat her in front of their children and she’s okay with it, wow! I’m all for forgiveness but there is a thin line between forgiveness and pure craziness.

  • gracie

    Did you guys expect her to say how much she hates him!!? I commend her for moving on and showing him respect in the public eye. Its easy for us to judge but let’s not forget that kids and involved and they don’t need to hear their mother talking so negatively about their father .

    • Ms_Sunshine9898

      how about not saying anything at all? that’s a tough dilemma where the father is great with kids and yet beating down his baby mama. it basically teaches the kids that beating mommy is ok and daddy can still be a great man. . .

  • mindypatterson

    anything to stay with that money,huh??

  • Tolani

    She has nothing to loose. He’s paying her, and if he does bring out his abusive ways again it won’t be towards her it be towards that other chick. Her kids will be happy their getting along and so will her pockets. She’s good!

    • Kay

      She’s good getting her assss beat?… K.

        He’s with and supposedly marrying someone else someone else… I think Tolani’s point is that she’s getting the child support… while new girl deals with that abusive dude…. Very screwed way of thinking, but chicks really do think like that.

  • JaneDoe

    I mean is anyone really surprise.. He knows what it is and she does too. He will beat her again because he can but next time she will know how to take a hit and not call the cops..

  • Kay

    He’ll hit her again…. For sure

    • ME

      Probably kill her with the next hit. Not to sound like an pessimist but the damage that he causes to people’s faces while wearing boxing gloves is brutal. I doubt the next time he’ll hit her he’ll stop and put some gloves on. I am praying so hard for this girl and those children.

  • Kellz

    He’s paying her good, thats all that is
