Shantel Jackson sued Mayweather, describing an allegedly abusive relationship and accusing him of publishing medical information and an ultrasound image concerning her pregnancy, alongside remarks about cosmetic surgery. In 2017, a California appellate court partly granted Mayweather's anti-SLAPP application: the defamation and false light claims and part of the privacy claim were dismissed, while other aspects, including those concerning publication of the ultrasound and medical report, survived.
