NBA star Jaxson Hayes seen pushing and spitting on ex-girlfriend as shocking new footage reopens investigation

The NBA is set to reopen its investigation into a 2021 incident involving Los Angeles Lakers star Jaxson Hayes and his then-girlfriend Sofia Jamora after shocking new footage emerged over the weekend.

Hayes, who was playing for the New Orleans Pelicans when the incident occurred, was arrested in July 2021 after police responded to a disturbance call in Woodland Hills, California.

Nearly a year later, the 24-year-old was sentenced to three years of probation, 450 hours of community service and a year of weekly domestic violence hearings after pleading no contest to resisting arrest and false imprisonment.

Despite the legal ruling, the NBA chose not to discipline Hayes after its own investigation. Yet three years after the incident, that could now change as the league reopens the investigation.

Early Sunday morning, TMZ Sports shared five and a half minutes of security camera footage of the altercation in question between Hayes and Jamora.

The Lakers center first appeared to pull his then-girlfriend out of a doorway around 1:35 a.m. as she said: ‘Stop! Let me go!’

After she ran into another room off camera, Hayes followed her before yelling: ‘What the hell is wrong with you?’

Jamora, who had initially blamed Hayes’ dogs for injuring her smaller puppy before the altercation broke out, can be heard telling his partner to “get out” before finally appearing on the Ring camera around 10 p.m. 01:47.

The basketball player’s cousin tried to calm him down to no avail as he returned to Jamora’s room before a loud crash was heard. The latter appeared to cry out in pain as he begged him to stop again.

Just after At 2am the pair were shown leaving the home and continuing their argument in the driveway as Jamora said: ‘I’m not going to let you hit me anymore. What the hell do I look like, a punching bag?’

Not long after she made that comment, Hayes appeared to push Jamora aside and walk away before turning to spit in her direction in a disgusting moment.

The influencer was then heard telling his cousin to get him off the premises before admitting: ‘I don’t know what else to do.’

Photos taken after the incident show Jamora’s legs and arms covered in bruises.

“As a result of the media report and the video that was posted this morning, we are reopening our investigation,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass was quoted as saying by ESPN.

A spokesperson for Hayes told the network that they are prepared to partner with the NBA again after doing so in the past.

Hayes was seen pushing an officer before he was robbed and arrested following the incident in 2021, before telling officers the woman was his girlfriend and that she had ‘thrown some things’ while they were arguing.

Attorneys representing Jamora filed a lawsuit against the NBA star on Tuesday, allegedly alleging that Robert T. Tamate, the officer with whom Hayes argued, had previously met with his attorneys and was compensated by him for ‘unknown reasons.’

Hayes put pen to paper on a two-year, $4.6 million contract with the Lakers through 2023 after ending his five-year stint with the Pelicans.
