George Floyd s Former Girlfriend Testifies About Their Struggles With Opioid Addiction
“It’s something that we dealt with every day, said Courteney Ross, who described Floyd as a mama s boy at one point.
A former girlfriend of George Floyd testified Thursday in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who has been charged with murdering Floyd, about their struggles with opioid addiction.
Courteney Ross, who dated Floyd for nearly three years until his death in May 2020, became visibly emotional as she told the court about their relationship and their substance abuse issues.
“Addiction, in my opinion, is a lifelong struggle,” Ross testified. “It’s something that we dealt with every day. It’s not something that just kind of comes and goes. It’s something that I’ll deal with forever.”
