Jazzma Kendrick, Ross’ on-and-off girlfriend, publicly accused him on September 26 of physically assaulting her and shared a photo of an injured/busted lip.
Jazzma says, “He saw a punching bag,” while Rick Ross denies the allegations. What detail in their timeline stands out to you most — and what will you be watching as the case unfolds?
The allegation she made was that Ross had hit her during an incident that she said happened about a month earlier. Police records later identified August 28 as the alleged date of the incident. According to the arrest affidavit, the dispute allegedly began after Ross confronted her about an Instagram photo. Kendrick subsequently reported the incident to Miami Beach police on September 29.
Jazzma responded to a follower who wrote:
“I’m seeing what Rick is seeing your so gorgeous.”
Kendrick replied:
“He saw a punching bag.”
She then posted the alleged injury with:
“The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left.”
And:
“I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me is a man that never loved me and never will.”
She added:
“If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave.”
A few days later, she said:
“I want you to know I’m okay.”
She explained that the alleged incident happened about a month earlier and that she had had time to process it and begin healing.
After his October 1 arrest and release, Ross said:
“First and foremost, I am totally innocent of the fabricated allegations made against myself.”
His lawyers, Steve Sadow and Bradley Horenstein, said Ross was:
“being wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend whose true motivations are unclear.”
They also stressed that Ross had pleaded not guilty and asked the public not to prejudge the case.

Her comments were about her own history with Ross and do not establish what happened between Ross and Kendrick.

Jazzma's story: “He saw a punching bag.”and
Ross' legal position: “I am totally innocent.”
Today, there is a police report, an arrest, criminal charges and an upcoming court hearing sitting between those two accounts.
