Josie Harris, the 40-year-old ex-girlfriend of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, was found dead at her California home on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Harris, who has three children with Mayweather, was found unresponsive in her car outside her home in Valencia on Tuesday. Medics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Harris previously accused Mayweather of abusing her.
In one incident in September 2010 she claimed Mayweather had forcibly entered her Las Vegas home as she slept and attacked her in front of her kids.
The boxer was found guilty of misdemeanor domestic battery and spent two months in jail in 2012 for the attack.
During an interview with Yahoo Global News in 2015, Mayweather had defended himself claiming; “I’m black. I’m rich. And I’m outspoken… Those are three strikes right there.”
“Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs?” he continued. “Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then, you know what? I’m guilty. I’m guilty of restraining someone.”
This interview infuriated Harris who then filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit against Mayweather. The case was meant to go for trial in December.
An aspiring actor and author, Harris dated Mayweather from 1995 to 2010. So far Investigators don’t believe there’s any foul play connected to her death.
