Words were Gervonta a.k.a Tank was drunk and he slapped Andretta backstage, after seeing her getting chummy with Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. The boxer, however, denied the accusation. "I never once hit her, yea I was aggressive and told her come on…," he wrote on Instagram after the incident. "That's the mother of my child I would never hurt her other than that happy New Years.. January was trash."
People then flooded the internet to criticize him. VH1 reality TV star Tiffany Pollard wrote, "I Watched this over and over again in DISBELIEF. My heart TRULY goes out to her because no woman EVER deserves to be greeted this way. #SCARY," while another social media user declared, "#GervontaDavis is CANCELED!!!"
