Day one of a rapper Rocky ASAPAn assault trial was a reminder of how small Hollywood can be.

Thomas Zizzo Jr.a Los Angeles police officer and a son of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a star Erika Jaynestands on Friday, January 14, during the first day of the Grammy award-winning rapper’s trial, TMZ reported.

Rocky, 36, faces two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm in connection with a shooting incident in Hollywood in 2021. He is accused of firing two or three shots at Terell Ephron, a childhood friend. According to the Associated PressEphron claims the alleged shots “grazed her knuckles. The rapper has pleaded not guilty.

The rapper faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.

Zizzo was one of the first LAPD officers to respond to the scene of the alleged incident in 2021, TMZ reports. While on the stand, it is said that the officer “testified about what he saw at the scene when he arrived.”

Zizzo has stayed out of the public spotlight despite his mother’s reality TV fame – he has never appeared on it RHOBA and is not featured on his mother Jayne’s social media pages. Like TMZ notes, his absence from her social media accounts is deliberate – she says she doesn’t post about her son “out of respect for his privacy as a police officer.”

Jayne shares her son with an ex-husband Thomas Zizzo. The pair divorced shortly after their son was born in 1992. In 2022, Jayne spoke about her close bond with her son and ex-husband following the legal and financial battles she faced following her separation from Tom Girardi in November 2020.

“People don’t understand this, but we’re actually quite tight,” Jayne said of her ex-husband, Thomas, and her son at the time. “They’ve been very supportive of me, and I’m very grateful.

She went on to say that the “silver lining” of her split from Girardi was how it strengthened her relationship with her son.

“My son and I, we’ve really come together,” she explained. “He will be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this grown-up perspective. , and it’s very nice.”

While Jayne’s son was present in court on Friday, Rocky’s partner, Rihannaconspicuously absent on Thursday, January 23, during jury selection. According to the Associated Presshowever, she was subject to multiple questions.

“What if Rihanna comes here to court, is it going to be difficult for you to look over and see the defendant’s family and give a guilty verdict?” Deputy District Attorney John Lewin asked one prospective juror.

“Yes,” the woman reportedly replied.

Rocky and Rihanna have been together since 2019 and share two sons: RZA and Riot Rose.
