Lawsuit or a Lover’s Quarrel: Floyd Mayweather Sues Ex for Alleged Theft
When he officially retired in 2015, Floyd “Money” Mayweather hung up his boxing gloves with a perfect record. But lately, the undefeated boxer seems to be taking a few L’s outside of the ring; at the manicured hands of ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson no less.
According to TMZ reports, the former athlete is filing a lawsuit against Jackson for alleged theft: the use of his credit cards and loose cash she found at his residence without his knowledge. Not only did she go on secret shopping sprees on his dime, Mayweather is also accusing Jackson of hiding the loot at an undisclosed location.
Coming off the heels of a home burglary not even a month ago, Money Mayweather seems to be struggling to keep up with his namesake– but back to the topic at hand.
The infamous athlete claims that Jackson supported him in the face of media backlash, to blind him to her triflin’ ways. Coupled with insinuations that the reality star used him for clout, it seems Mayweather got played to the tune of Kanye West’s “Gold Digger”.
But in sis’ defense, it remains questionable whether it was truly theft; they were in a committed relationship, sharing an address and about to share a last name. It’s hard to say with all of the zeroes attached to his bank account, so let’s do some simple math to make this scenario more relatable.
If we subtract the million-dollar net worth, substitute the black card for $20 lying on the kitchen table, and add in the financial struggles of a regular couple, does the situation still equal a lawsuit?
If they were splitting the rent and he was still using her cousin’s Netflix account, I would hope he wouldn’t trip over Jackson borrowing $10 gas money. Then again, I’m sure Jackson’s alleged shopping sprees equate to premium gas in a Lambourghini, and Floyd could buy the entire Netflix corporation.
These aren’t regular schmegular people we’re talking about, so perhaps Mayweather is entitled to his lawsuit. But so is Shantel, who filed against him in 2014 for multiple counts of invasion of privacy, defamation, and domestic abuse.
Mayweather reportedly filed for this lawsuit only a few days prior to receiving a trial date for Jackson’s lawsuit against him.
Sounds more like he’s moving to the beat of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P.”
Personally? I hope she wears a few pearls to the hearings.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.

CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
