RHOBH's Erika Jayne's son Thomas 'Tommy' Zizzo Jr was one of the witnesses to testify in A$AP Rocky's assault trial.

Overview

  • A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is on trial for allegedly firing a gun at former friend A$AP Relli in November 2021.
  • Thomas 'Tommy' Zizzo Jr., an LAPD sergeant and son of 'RHOBH' star Erika Jayne, testified as a first responder to the incident.
  • Rocky has denied the charges, rejecting a plea deal that included jail time, probation, and community service, citing potential career-ending consequences.
  • Prosecutors presented surveillance footage and new evidence, including shell casings allegedly linked to the incident, while the defense argued the gun was a prop and the accusations were financially motivated.
  • The trial, delayed from November 2024, is set to continue on January 28, allowing the defense additional time to prepare.
