New Video Shows Jaxson Hayes Pushing And Spitting At His Ex-Girlfriend Sofia Jamora: NBA Reopens Investigation

Lakers coach JJ Redick said that "they're going to cooperate fully."

The NBA reopened its investigation into Los Angeles Lakers player Jaxson Hayes after TMZ released a video on Saturday. The video, which is from 2021, shows him arguing with his ex-girlfriend, Sofia Jamora.

The publication posted a five-and-a-half-minute video early morning on 3 November. It shows Jaxson and his then-girlfriend, Sofia Jamora, in a heated argument.

The Ring camera footage is time-stamped on 28 July 2021 and begins at 1:35 a.m. At one point, the then-New Orleans Pelican player can be heard verbally abusing and spitting in her direction.

Highlights

  • In July of 2021, Jaxson Hayes was arrested and charged with 12 misdemeanors in LA County.
  • NBA spokesperson Mike Bass told ESPN that the league was reopening their investigation after TMZ shared a video of that night.
  • The basketball player’s ex-girlfriend has sued him for physical and emotional abuse.

The NBA decided to re-evaluate the 2021 incident due to the release of the video. As reported by ESPN, the video is part of a new lawsuit filed by Jamora’s lawyers.

In the lawsuit, the athlete’s former girlfriend accused him of compensating an officer involved in his arrest.

The league initially opened an investigation into the former New Orleans Pelican player after his arrest in July 2021.

Jaxson Hayes Caused Chaos Before His 2021 Arrest

Hayes’ arrest on 28 July 2021 was stormy. Additionally, the recently released CCTV tape shows him going on a rampage just before his arrest.

The past dispute was reportedly sparked after Jamora blamed Hayes’ dogs for injuring her dog, which is comparatively smaller.

The video shows the 7-foot-tall center in a heated argument with the model at her L.A. area home.

The video shows the athlete pulling his then-girlfriend from one room to another around 1:35 AM as she begged him to let her go.

Jamora ran off-camera, and Hayes followed, saying,

“The f—‘s wrong with you?”

Jamora then asked Hayes to “get out” after a loud thud. At 1:47 AM, the NBA player was seen on the Ring camera, and his cousin tried to calm him down.

Hayes went back to Jamora’s room, a loud crash was heard, and Jamora shouted in pain, asking Hayes to stop.

Eight minutes later, Jamora walked upstairs with Hayes following her. She told him to let her go and leave the house.

At 2:02 AM, they went outside, and Jamora threatened to call the police, saying,

“I’m not going to let you hit me anymore. What the f*** do I look like, a punching bag?”

Hayes pushed Jamora aside and spat in her direction as he went back inside. The model asked Hayes’ cousin to get him out, saying,

“I don’t know what else to do.”

Jaxson Hayes Was Arrested For Domestic Disturbance

Los Angeles police went to Jaxson Hayes’ home after Sofia Jamora’s cousin called 911 reporting domestic vio-len-ce.

The basketball player got into a scuffle with the officers. They had to use a taser to arrest him. During the incident, Hayes pushed an officer into a wall, injuring his elbow.

The Los Angeles Lurkers center was charged with 12 counts of misdemeanors. He pleaded no contest to the charge of resisting an officer and false imprisonment.

Other 10 counts of misdemeanors were dismissed. Later, Jaxson was sentenced to three years of probation. He also had to do community service and attend domestic disturbance classes.
