Ayrin Mason, Oct. 6
Mason said she knew about the fighting but never heard about physical domestic violence before July 21. That day, Thompson showed her bruises and said, “I can’t do this anymore.” She added that in the past she had gotten pictures of bruises from Thompson with captions like “The sex was rough, LOL.” Despite all this, and a plan to file a police report, they went to Elliott’s birthday party that night because “she knew there would be other girls there and wanted to prevent anything from happening with Ezekiel and them...she really does love him.”
