Talk about a dad defending his daughter’s honor! During a recent press conference, the father of female boxer Janaya Berry didn’t hold back when an influencer crossed the line. Jarvis Berry was visibly upset after hearing the influencer, known as Thiirty, refer to his daughter as a “bitch.”
A Father’s Fierce Defense
The heated exchange, posted by Brand Risk Promotions on March 13, captured Jarvis Berry directly addressing Thiirty. “I ain’t gonna lie. I’m pissed,” he stated emphatically. He didn’t just stop at expressing his anger; he challenged the influencer’s use of such language, suggesting that a man who calls a woman a “bitch” likely learned that behavior from his own father.
Jarvis Berry went on to explain that a “real man” would address issues directly without resorting to personal attacks on his daughter. He firmly believed that Thiirty’s insult reflected poorly on his own upbringing and his respect for women, including his mother, sisters, and girlfriend. The message was clear: disrespect his daughter, and you disrespect his family.
Demanding an Apology
When Thiirty attempted to deflect, claiming he had issues with someone else when he used the insult, Jarvis Berry wasn’t having it. He pressed the influencer, demanding a direct apology to his daughter, Janaya. “Apologize to my daughter,” Jarvis insisted, making it clear that the insult was unacceptable and required immediate rectification.
Janaya Berry, who previously played college basketball at West Virginia University, went on to win her fight against the previously undefeated Kristina Santa. It’s clear that not only does Janaya have talent in the ring, but she also has a powerful advocate in her father, who isn’t afraid to stand up against disrespect.
