Speaking in 2017, Harris gave a sorry reflection of the time she spend with Mayweather
In an interview with USA Today in 2017, Harris gave a sorry reflection of her time with Mayweather.
‘I was a battered woman,’ Harris said. ‘I felt embarrassed about saying I was a battered woman. I felt shame. I felt like it was my fault. What did I do? I didn’t understand what a battered woman was at that time.
‘Now I know I was in a very dysfunctional, hostile relationship and a victim of domestic violence.’
She didn’t see Mayweather much past the jail term he served in 2010 but added: ‘For some reason I still get anxiety when I know that he is on his way (to collect his children).

‘I have no idea why, but I get really overwhelmed when I know that I have to be around him.’
Mayweather once claimed in an interview that his actions were prompted by Harris being on drugs.
She vociferously denied the accusation and responded with a lawsuit of $20million.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said in a statement: ‘Homicide investigators have responded to the death of a woman.
