Hawks guard Rajon Rondo, girlfriend sued after alleged assault and 'heated parking lot dispute'

Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo and his girlfriend are facing an assault and battery lawsuit. 

A woman who said she lives in the same apartment building as Rondo's girlfriend said the couple pushed her during a dispute over where she parked in the building's parking garage.

“The case is meritless," Rondo’s attorney, Mark D. Baute, said in a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I have seen the videotape. Mr. Rondo was polite throughout the encounter, the claimant was not wearing a mask and was unstable and rude. We look forward to defending the case and winning.”

TMZ Sports obtained the lawsuit filed by Toktam Jorshari, who said she has video of the incident.

TMZ reported that Jorshari is suing the two “for assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy,” and is “seeking unspecified damages in excess of $1 million.”

According to the lawsuit and the outlet, Jorshari said that on July 28, Rondo parked his car in a handicapped parking space at the apartment complex even though his car didn't have a handicapped placard. She said that she pulled into the spot next to him to unload a table she just bought. In turn, it blocked access to the driver’s side of Rondo’s vehicle.  카지노사이트

Rondo then "flew off the handle," according to the lawsuit, and apparently shouted at Jorshari, "B----, why do you think you can park here?"

She alleged that Rondo yelled, “B--ch why do you think you can park here?” at her, and at one point “with an extended arm, pushed and shoved her against her vehicle.” Johari also claims that Rondo’s girlfriend “proceeded to repeatedly physically attack her by striking her in the area of her head and upper body.

Jorshari said she did not fight back, and that Rondo gave his girlfriend the “green light” to attack her. She said she suffered injuries, some that resulted in “permanent disability,” and is in possession of security footage of the incident.

Rondo’s attorney, Mark Baute, denied the claims in a statement to the Journal-Constitution.

“The case is meritless,” Baute said. “I have seen the video tape. Mr. Rondo was polite throughout the encounter, the claimant was not wearing a mask and was unstable and rude. We look forward to defending the case and winning.”

Rondo averaged 7.1 points and five assists per game for the Lakers last season off the bench during their title run. The 34-year-old signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Hawks this past offseason, which marks his seventh NBA team during his 15-year career in the league.
