A woman is suing NBA baller Rajon Rondo and his girlfriend after she got pummeled over a parking lot dispute.
The incident went down on July 28 in the parking deck of a Los Angeles apartment complex.
Toktam Jorshari claims Rajon was upset about her parking too close to the driver’s side door of his $300k Rolls-Royce SUV. She also noted he was parked in a handicapped parking spot.
Jorshari went on to accuse the NBA baller and his girlfriend of cursing her out, then attacking her.
Toktam Jorshari filed a lawsuit against Rajon Rondo and his girlfriend for assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy. She’s seeking more than $1 million in damages.
Security video of the incident has been released.
Now, I don’t have a degree in deciphering silent surveillance videos, but I am very well versed in black folks body language.
Based on the video you will see below, Jorshari rolled up with an attitude and was ready to pop off. She simply did not anticipate Rajon’s girlfriend matching and exceeding her energy.
Rajon and his girlfriend are clearly trying to reason with this woman, who could have simply moved her car so that they could go on about their business.
Instead, Toktam Jorshari was aggressive, wagging her finger, and walking closer to the couple.
As the confrontation ensues, the couple is growing visibly frustrated.
Eventually, Jorshari wrote a check…and Rondo’s lady cashed it.
The end.
I would also like to note, the alleged “victim” was not wearing a mask.
She was invading Rajon Rondo and his girlfriend’s personal space and the entire issue could have been resolved with her simply moving her vehicle.
Rondo’s attorney, Mark D. Baute released the following statement:
Mr. Rondo tried to separate them and keep them away from each other, he did not push anyone.
I saw the videotape in July, during the first Covid surge. Rajon Rondo had a broken thumb in a cast at the time, and his vehicle was correctly parked in a handicapped spot while he was picking up his girlfriend.
The plaintiff chose to park her car two inches from Mr. Rondo’s door, and the plaintiff was not in an assigned parking spot. The plaintiff refused to wear a mask during a short 30 second encounter, and also refused to move her car.
The plaintiff and Mr. Rondo’s girlfriend had an unpleasant encounter that lasted roughly 10 seconds, and Mr. Rondo tried to prevent them from any further interaction, which was awkward due to (a) his thumb being broken, and (b) the plaintiff not wearing a mask.
The plaintiff then left on her own, hired a lawyer, filed a lawsuit, and we have chosen to offer nothing, pay nothing and to defend the case on the merits, and win. The focus in July was on winning another championship with the Lakers. The focus now is on playing the best possible basketball for the Atlanta Hawks.
That’s that on that.
Rajon Rondo was set to make his Atlanta Hawks debut on December 23, but is listed as out because of “health and safety protocols” on the NBA’s official injury report.
I wonder if it’s due to the buzz about this frivolous lawsuit.
