Woman accused of fatally stabbing NYC mom during brawl went on podcast while on the lam : ‘She wasn’t being a real mom’

The woman accused of fatally stabbing a Staten Island mom during a massive brawl outside a housing project proclaimed her innocence on a podcast before turning herself in — telling the host the victim “wasn’t being a real mom.”

Jasmin Thompson, 25, surrendered to cops in the city’s 120th Precinct on Monday morning for allegedly knifing Jennira Roundtree, 43, during a fight in front of the victim’s home in the NYCHA’s West Brighton Houses on Henderson Avenue near Alaska Street.

Authorities have charged her with second-degree murder for the Jan. 7 killing, which sources said was prompted by a social media beef.

But Thompson, who initially fled the state, told Elliott Carterr of LFTG Radio that she only grabbed the bloody knife after Roundtree had been mortally wounded.

“The mom’s already on the floor. So how y’all saying I did it?” she asked Carterr, as she narrated a video of the clash. “I picked it up. I was scared for my life.”

Sources have said Roundtree only entered the fray to defend her young daughter — but she quickly became a target herself.

Mario Gallucci, Thompson’s celebrity attorney, said that’s “not even close to the truth.”

“Nobody deserves to die, but Ms. Roundtree certainly didn’t come into this with clean hands,” Gallucci told The Post, comparing the squabble to a “modern-day Hatfields and McCoys.”

“Roundtree and a group of her followers, we’ll say, had attacked Ms. Thompson’s sister earlier in the day and jumped another one of her friends earlier in the day,” he said.

“She started the altercation, continued the altercation and my client is looking at using justification as a defense.”

But a 30-year-old neighbor told The Daily News that a group of girls picked a fight with Roundtree’s pre-teen daughter — and even though Roundtree’s friends called the girl’s older sister for help, her mom stepped in first.

The neighbor couldn’t see much more —scaffolding blocked her view, she said — but she saw cops moving Roundtree away when she ran downstairs.

“The police took her,” she said. “When they carried her, I saw she had a lot of blood. I heard her say, ‘I can’t breathe!’ That’s the only thing she said.”

She died later at Richmond University Medical Center.

Thompson — who cops and sources said stuck Roundtree several times in the chest during the 20-person melee — said on the podcast that Roundtree “wasn’t being a mom, a real mom” with her conduct.

“I’m a mom,” she added. “I’m gonna say, hey, what happened? What happened with my kids? I’m not straight springing golf sticks at people’s kids.”

But Thompson, who has a lengthy rap sheet that includes six prior arrests and several assaults, denied that she murdered the woman.

“I’m not a killer,” she said.

“I would never want to kill nobody. I’m not a killer. I have kids too. That lady was a mom. She got four kids. Yeah, nothing was planned, nothing was premeditated.”
