American basketball player Jaxson Hayes had a seemingly perfect relationship with his now ex-girlfriend Sofia Jamora until a video of him seemingly shoving her made headlines.
Jaxson Hayes, the Los Angeles Lakers center, has been in the spotlight not just for his on-court performance but also for his off-court troubles.
The American basketball player was previously in a relationship with model Sofia Jamora, which was particularly turbulent.
Their relationship hit the headlines due to a domestic incident in July 2021, where Jaxson was involved in a physical altercation with Sofia.
Meanwhile, the case has resurfaced, and the NBA is set to reopen its investigation with Jaxson under significant media scrutiny.
The league has stated that it will cooperate fully with the investigation and reassess the situation. Jaxson’s representatives have also expressed their willingness to cooperate.
Jaxson Hayes Seemingly Shoved and Spitted at His Now Ex-Girlfriend Sofia Jamora’s Direction In 2021!
Sofia and Jaxson announced their relationship via Instagram in February 2021 when the now-Lakers center was with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Previously, they often displayed their love with both of them, sharing pictures of them and spending quality time.
Everything seemingly was nothing but perfect until later in 2022, when Sofia filed a lawsuit against Jaxson alleging assault.
The incident began when the former couple had a heated argument over their respective pets.
The video, which made grand rounds, shows Jaxson pulling Sofia out of a doorway and following her into another room.
In defense, Sofia can be heard pleading for Jaxson to let go of her, but the basketball player continues to pursue her.
Jaxson first appeared to pull Sofia out of a doorway at around 1:35 a.m. when she can be heard saying:
Stop! Let go of me!
Just after 2 a.m., the couple were caught leaving the residence while continuing their heated argument in the driveway. That’s when Sofia said:
I’m not going to let you hit me anymore. What the f*** do I look like, a punching bag?
The dispute didn’t stop but escalated, and Jaxson was caught seemingly shoving and spitting at Sofia on security camera footage.
Likewise, Sofia also warned Hayes that she would call the police; however, Jaxson can be seen seemingly shoving her and spitting in her direction before walking away.
Sofia was left with visible bruises on her legs and arms, according to the picture taken following the incident.
Police arrested the Los Angeles Center on July 28, 2021, after responding to a domestic disturbance call in Woodland Hills, California.
A year later, in June 2022, Jaxson was sentenced to three years of probation, 450 hours of community service, and mandatory domestic violence classes.
Meanwhile, regarding Jaxson’s relationship status, he seems to be single, and there is little to no information about his love life online.
Although her social media posts say otherwise, Sofia is rumored to be dating Spencer Mow. She hasn’t shared any snippet of her love life on her social media platforms, unlike the time she shared several pictures with Jaxson when they were together.
