Mayweather pleaded guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend in September 2010 - an incident witnessed by two of their children.
In an interview in 2014, Harris said: "(It means) I don't have to take a Xanax before he comes, otherwise I will be sweating bullets.
"For some reason, I still get anxiety when I know that he is on his way. I have no idea why, but I get really overwhelmed when I know that I have to be around him."
Harris has also spoken about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Mayweather.
"I was a battered woman," she said. "I felt embarrassed about saying I was a battered woman. I felt shame. I felt like it was my fault. What did I do?"
