The confrontation reportedly started over a parking spot dispute when the woman allegedly parked too close to Rondo’s Rolls Royce. Eventually, things escalated and Rondo nudged the woman with an elbow because he said he wanted to “stop” the escalating confrontation. Soon after Rondo’s girlfriend punched Jorshari. The incident was caught on camera and Jorshari alleged that she was injured when she was struck in the face and head.
