The valet parker who claims he was slapped in the face by LeBron James' mother says he is WAYYY too traumatized to return to his job at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach ... TMZ has learned. 
Sources close to Rockfeller Sorel tell us ... R.S. has taken an extended leave of absence from his gig ... and has been telling people he's "very depressed" ever since Gloria James clocked him in the face early Thursday morning.
As we previously reported, James was arrested over the incident ... and according to cops, she was a real pain in the ass with police.
We're told Rockfeller will be meeting with his lawyer on Monday to discuss his legal options ... which means he's probably gonna drop a GARGANTUAN lawsuit.

OMG, the sea donkey face of LJ's mom makes me shudder everytime it's shown. I haven't shuddered since the last time I saw a pic of danielle (the grinch) staub's face.

I was a valet, and I was slapped by a drunk ass C*&T who was too intoxicated to drive and i wouldn't give the keys to. What did i do?...pretended to call the cops, put her in a cab and carried on the rest of my shift, made my money, and went home. Now i get to tell this story.....Not cry about how i am too depressed to work!
Lawyer or not, MAN UP SON!!! u got a $20 out the deal, beggars can't be choosers!

He's a lazy, lying opportunist. She's a violent drunk driver with the attitude that she's superior becuz her son is a basketball star and she's got some of his money. She's mooching off her son. He's trying to mooch off her. Who cares what these moochers do?

Not that LeBron's mom did the right thing, but man is this guy really putting on a show trying to get a huge settlement. What a bottom feeder.
MrsCory
yaah, but if it was his babymomma he would he back to work the work the very next day, lmfao!!

How can he file a "GARGANTUAN lawsuit". The mother has no money. Just because she's Lebron's mother doesn't mean she has millions or settle a lawsuit. It would probably be cheaper to go to court.
steve
compared to his mother, Lebron looks more lady like. that's one manly looking woman. wonder if the he-she got the Jon's name that fathered her son? couldn't have been love.

WIMP!!! A jury is not going to buy his fake story of depression. She slapped him. He should get a couple thousand dollars. No more.
Sally
Uh oh - there must be a law suit forthcoming! Ka-ching.

Don't tell me he's going to try to collect social security off this.
