Brittany Mahomeshas come to the defense of her brother-in-law,Jackson.
“They are ignorant,” Brittany replied. “He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will) you have no right to say sh– about him,” she continued.
Below her initial response, Brittany added, “So it’s best to just shut up.”

“And I’m telling him, pushing him off, saying ‘What are you doing?’ and then he proceeded to do it two more times,” recounted Vaughn. “Where the last time I was pushing him off, and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door, and I was yelling for them to come help because he’s big and massive.”
Noting that Jackson is more than a foot taller than her and claiming that he left a faint bruise on her neck, Vaughn said she “was in shock.”
“It’s disgusting,” she recalled telling Jackson, who is friends with Vaughn’s stepdaughter and restaurant employee. “Like, you’re a child, and he was trying to say ‘We should be a power couple,’ and I’m like, ‘Clearly you’re out of your mind right now.’ "
Earlier that night, Jackson arrived with five friends, with whom he made his way to the basement office. There, he allegedly blocked the 19-year-old waiter, who wished to remain anonymous, from entering.
“I was going into our office downstairs where the employees are in the employee area, and he’s downstairs for I don’t know what reason,” the waiter toldThe Star. “And I’m trying to get to the office, and he’s like, pushing me out. … And he’s like, ‘No, get out, get out.’ "

In a statement issued to PEOPLE, Jackson’s attorney Brandon Davies said, “We have provided law enforcement with the tools and evidence they need to evaluate the claims against Jackson.”
“Every interaction between people needs to be placed in the proper context,” added Davies. “Releasing a short clip of any video does not provide proper context. We have faith in the process and look forward to a swift resolution of the matter.”
