NBA Reopens Investigation Involving Lakers Player Jaxson Hayes After Released Footage Shows Him Shoving & Spitting At Ex-Girlfriend

Jaxson Hayes is once again at the center of a serious investigation.

Over the weekend TMZ obtained surveillance footage that seemingly showed Jaxson Hayes, 24, verbally and physically abusing his then-girlfriend, model Sofia Jamora. Allegedly, the July 2021 dispute was over their respective dogs. At one point during the altercation, Jamora can be heard saying,

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

When the LAPD arrived on the scene Hayes allegedly shoved an officer. He was reportedly tased before being placed in cuffs. He pled no contest to resisting arrest and false imprisonment and was sentenced to 3 years probation, 450 hours of community service and domestic violence classes.  Jamora filed a suit for the incident, however, Hayes wasn’t punished by the NBA.

Thanks to the footage hitting the internet, that might soon change. In a statement shared with ESPN, the NBA expressed,

“As a result of the media report and video posted this morning, we are reopening our investigation.”

A spokesperson for Hayes said that the professional baller plans to cooperate with the league.

“There has already been an extensive investigation that we cooperated with the league on, and as that investigation reopens, we will continue to do so.”
