What was Mayella's version of her encounter with Tom Robinson?

Answer 1

Mayela claimed that Tom Robinson had raped her and beat her. She seemed unsure of the whole event and based most of her answers off of what her father had already said. Given that later in the book we find that Tom was innocent and that Mayela attempted to come on to Tom Robinson we can understand her nervousness.
Mayella had told the jury that Tom Robinson raped her. it explains everything she said in chapter 17.

Answer 2

She said Tom grabbed her, threw her down, hit her, choked her, and took advantage of her (raped her). Then her father, Bob Ewell, was coming in from the woods from cutting firewood, he saw them through the window, and ran to the house, but before he got inside, Tom had fled because he was scared.

Answer 3

Tom was called into Mayella's house to break down an old piece of shivery wood, then Mayella grabbed his legs (causing him to jump down from the chair he was standing on) and hugged him from behind. She then asks him to kiss her, because she's never kissed a man, and it might as well be Tom. (& she also says that when she's never been kissed: But it don't count what daddy does to me. which means that her father, Bob Ewell, sexually assaults his daughter) Tom struggles, and hears Bob Ewell screaming "You whore! I'll kill you!" to Mayella; Tom runs out the door before Bob enters the house.
