Maybe dude is a piece of shit and he did all that to her. That's awful, but just insinuating an issue via social media is pretty dumb.
Considering social media is the fastest way to make a story go public and to try to get support, it seems like the opposite of a dumb thing to do. I don't think she did it to get new Instagram followers, you dumb shit.
oh look, a BBIer wanting to piss fight. Not the most original thing I've seen on here, but still cute
It's sad that many people's first instinct when pics of abused women
come out is to go straight to "it's a money grab."
Posting to social media seems to be this girl's last resort. The bruising seems to be substantial. Her claim is that this is an on-going issue.
Put yourself in her shoes. She lives in Columbus and is dating a GOD in the town. Said god knows he has carte blanche to do as he pleases in this town. Maybe she has brought this up to authorities before. Look at PSU, things get swept away in big college towns. Not saying that's the case, but I can see why a girl would take the Instagram route, especially after this incident when 4 people who are "witnesses" side with said god.

Update (10:20 a.m.): TMZ is reporting that they have obtained a copy of a police report detailing Elliotts alleged assault of Thompson. According to the report, Elliott allegedly attacked Thompson while she was sitting the drivers seat of her parked car. The report states that Elliott was not arrested due to conflicting reports from witnesses, but that Thompson was referred to the prosecutors office.
What a POS Elliot
Another one of the fine upstanding gentlemen employed
than that story being accurate than false. Until I know who the witnesses are and get more information, i'll reserve judgement of Elliot, but if they were his male friends, then i'm guessing he's guilty and they are being quiet for his benefit.
RE: Well, you introduce emotion into the situation with that question
What's dumber... posting it on social media (I challenge even that being "dumb"), or slapping away at your keyboard and embarrassing yourself before even a fraction of the facts are were available?

LOL...So let me get this straight, you call her a dumb ass and claim it's due to her using social media to promote her case, while ignoring the fact she also filed a police report. Then you take offense to it when someone calls you the same while pointing out all the facts you overlooked?
)and this is nothing to do with the people in discussion here) but I still have difficulty understanding how people rush to put everything that goes on in their life out in public. Also, whenever I see an accident or unusual event. I never think to whip out my phone and start filming. I'm sure there's more old people ways I'm stuck in but the overt social media narcissism and the amateur film director things come to mind most quickly.
but I seldom take pics and I use social media even less.
I recently got back from visiting my son in Charleston and everybody wanted to see all the pics...I took two...one of my son in his whites(I didn't have one of those)and one of us together downtown. I guess I'm old but I'd rather spend my time enjoying life and not posting everything.
In this young ladies case she may have had no choice. She may(all assuming here)have asked for help and not received any and felt this was her only way.
She also may have fabricated this whole thing...we'll know soon enough...but I can see why some people may feel their only voice is through social media.

It's definitely partly generational. That said, not everyone who takes pictures and posts on social media is doing it because they are a narcissist. It's become the way we "hang out", keep in touch with people over long distance, share things instantaneously with a larger group. This is life now.
Not everyone out there is doing it because they crave admiration. I'm on social media, but I hardly if ever post.

Not talking about you specifically, okie...but I don't really buy the argument of "instead of taking pictures, I like to live the moment." I mean, if you're a professional photographer spending hours taking perfect pictures of every events of your life, then sure, that takes away from your enjoyment of the moment. However, for the most part, a simple picture takes like 10 seconds. I think people can take pictures or even videos and still enjoy the moment. It's not always either or...you can definitely do both, and you have mental and physical memories of those moments.

Well...for some of us, it's definitely out of narcissism first and foremost before anything else. Basically the message is...my kids are cuter than whatever troll you call kids of your own. #truthbomb
I have no idea why people post their kids online. I believe it should be the child's choice (which they can't make which is also my point) to want to have all their photos online by the time they are grown. Pics also have metadata which predators can use to track (very slim chances but still). I simply don't get it outside of self promotion congratulation.
I for one would be pissed if I had thousands of picture of me growing up, online, never to be able to be erased.
then I'd download them and and have all these flash drives full of photos I'd never look at. Just seemed a waste to me personally(and you know how set in my ways I am).
I do take pics if it's a special occasion, or maybe the first time I've been someplace, but I'm just not a prolific pic snapper!
Besides, I'm too busy catching Pokemon to waste time gathering precious memories!
like the one in my phone back in the 80's and 90's. The little crappy camera I carried on some of my adventures sucked! I'd love to have some high quality pics from back then.
he saved messages from her on his phone showing she was going to set him up. Doesn't mean that he did or did not do it, but now she has unclean hands which makes it even messier.

At least you have your priorities straight, my friend.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 3m3 minutes ago
From the Zeke Elliott police report. Victim stated she was assaulted by Elliott while sitting in a car. 4 witnesses present disputed that.
if they are her friends than that's pretty damning to her. If they are all his friends, especially male, then that's damning for him (atleast in the eyes of public opinion).
Curious to see which is which or if its both.

One of the most badass motherfuckers I've ever known was 5'5" and probably about 150 pounds.
Boy can I relate. A guy in town who was that size loved to fight - anytime, anywhere. He was an ex-marine who came back from Nam. When he fought, he looked like the Tazmanian Devil - spinning so fast you couldn't see his moves. He never lost a fight. When he walked into the bar, no one (with a lick of sense) made eye contact with him because he read that as a challenge. So smart guys looked at their glass, the wall, the floor, anything but him. Even the bar tender who took no shit in his bar would turn his back and start wiping glasses trying not to incite a problem. I remember when he came into the bar once and two big guys were shooting pool. Ray (the little Tazmanian Devil dude) came in, picked up the end of the pool table in the middle of the game until all the balls rolled to the other side and into pockets. Then he dropped the table from about 3 feet making a horrendous noise and jumped up onto the table. He then grabbed his ball sack, shook it and bellared to everyone, "any of you POS pussies got a problem with this?" Funny thing, no one had a problem with it...not even the rigid bartender...you could hear crickets....lol

Sad thing about that story? he most likely would have been legally shot in today's environment
come out is to go straight to "it's a money grab."
Put yourself in her shoes.
I find it equally as sad when people rush to judgment that the kid did it (a kid with zero track record of abuse). Even when, in this case, 4-5 witnesses said they didn't see anything.
In an ideal world we don't hear about any of this until an investigation has occurred and a verdict rendered. But that's not reality, so people will form early opinions. It is what it is. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter... law enforcement will get to the bottom of it in time and the NFL will react accordingly.
the act of hitting or abusing a woman sickens me, but this news doesn't necessarily make me sad. I hope she's ok and never feels or experiences any pain for the rest of her life....but I kinda hope Zeke did it??
As a Giant fan I have felt snake-bit in recent years due to the injury bug. But the Cowboys fans are going through similar feelings; only theirs are self-inflicted by the players.
Thats a pretty ridiculous comparison. The Giants could not control a lot of their injuries that crippled (no pun intended) the Giants reload of their roster. The Giants couldnt forsee Chad Jones getting into an awful car accident, Steve Smith and Kenny Phillips getting micrfracture, JPP having some fun with fireworks and having that horrible accident happen. Nicks, Cruz and Plax...none were because of anything the Giants knew about there pasts. The one instance where they had taken a flier on a guy with a questionable past, Will Hill, they got bitten, cut bait, were criticized and were proven to have made the right move. Another opportunity toroll the dice on Tunsil, same criticisms from fans, we'll have to see.
The Cowboys on the other hand are playing cards with the devil whenever they sign a monster like Hardy and he contaminates their lockerroom and culture. Randy Gregory slips out if the top ten and into the third, Cowboys think they stole the draft, suspended to start the season.
Look at the Steelers! To a lesser extent they have been the second chance ranch for many players. They lost Martavis Bryant for a whole year and may be losing LeVeon Bell to start this season.
The Cowboys Front Office has absolutely built this culture (and I honestly think the younger Jones is the one who may have started this trend as a way of showing he was ready to take over the reigns for Dad). Hell they were apparently still afterr Manziel despite him all but being a crackhead.
Comparing Giants fans suffering through massive, roster crushing injuries and Cowboys fans boohooing after cheering the owner on in signing every rule breaker available because he has talent isnt in the same stratosphere.
Your friend sounds like Begbie from Trainspotting
Link - ( New Window )
LMAO - a little like that. Ray didn't talk much. He just smiled a lot, but you never wanted to question him about why he was smiling. It was usually because he was just looking for a reason to fight and he was excited with the anticipation of a good rumble. To him, a fun night out on the town was to get into a fight or two. And when no one would bite, he'd find a way to get someone to fight him. But he wasn't a big talker at all. He'd do something like bump into somebody on purpose and then get in the guy's face and blame the guy for bumping into him. If the guy did anything other than put his hands out and apologize profusely, it was on. Those who knew him avoided him...especially after he had a few drinks in him and he got a gleam in his eye and his smile grew bigger
My issue is with the notion that some victims are somehow worthier of protection than others.
Greg, I generally find you to be one of the more informative and reasonable posters on this site but seems like you're just taking a contrarian point here IMO
Likely every guy was taught as a boy that boys don't hit girls, and every decent adult knows you don't abuse a child. So yes thee is a difference between either of those and an adult male getting in a fight with another man.
I have no idea what happened with this girl and or the athlete. Is he guilty, I don t know. Is he being set up, I don t know.
But I love the new way we make judgements these day especially where celebs are concerned: Guilty until proven in innocent, it s a fine way to bring the high and mighty down.
RE: It's sad that many people's first instinct when pics of abused women

Posting to social media seems to be this girl's last resort. The bruising seems to be substantial. Her claim is that this is an on-going issue.
Put yourself in her shoes. She lives in Columbus and is dating a GOD in the town. Said god knows he has carte blanche to do as he pleases in this town. Maybe she has brought this up to authorities before. Look at PSU, things get swept away in big college towns. Not saying that's the case, but I can see why a girl would take the Instagram route, especially after this incident when 4 people who are "witnesses" side with said god.
I don't think it is either or: she can be a victim of abuse and seeking a payout.
We often want to turn victims into pure innocent lambs. Often they are not. Just because you arethevictim of crime does not mean you are not shady yourself.
We just don't have enough info to know her motives.
However, I'm glad Giants stayed away from Elliot. He may be exonerated in this case but Once a guy has one off the field problem,he usually has others. Jerry World is the perfect place for him

I find it equally as sad when people rush to judgment that the kid did it (a kid with zero track record of abuse). Even when, in this case, 4-5 witnesses said they didn't see anything.
In an ideal world we don't hear about any of this until an investigation has occurred and a verdict rendered. But that's not reality, so people will form early opinions. It is what it is. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter... law enforcement will get to the bottom of it in time and the NFL will react accordingly.

Thats a pretty ridiculous comparison. The Giants could not control a lot of their injuries that crippled (no pun intended) the Giants reload of their roster. The Giants couldnt forsee Chad Jones getting into an awful car accident, Steve Smith and Kenny Phillips getting micrfracture, JPP having some fun with fireworks and having that horrible accident happen. Nicks, Cruz and Plax...none were because of anything the Giants knew about there pasts. The one instance where they had taken a flier on a guy with a questionable past, Will Hill, they got bitten, cut bait, were criticized and were proven to have made the right move. Another opportunity toroll the dice on Tunsil, same criticisms from fans, we'll have to see.
The Cowboys on the other hand are playing cards with the devil whenever they sign a monster like Hardy and he contaminates their lockerroom and culture. Randy Gregory slips out if the top ten and into the third, Cowboys think they stole the draft, suspended to start the season.
Look at the Steelers! To a lesser extent they have been the second chance ranch for many players. They lost Martavis Bryant for a whole year and may be losing LeVeon Bell to start this season.
The Cowboys Front Office has absolutely built this culture (and I honestly think the younger Jones is the one who may have started this trend as a way of showing he was ready to take over the reigns for Dad). Hell they were apparently still afterr Manziel despite him all but being a crackhead.
Comparing Giants fans suffering through massive, roster crushing injuries and Cowboys fans boohooing after cheering the owner on in signing every rule breaker available because he has talent isnt in the same stratosphere.

LMAO - a little like that. Ray didn't talk much. He just smiled a lot, but you never wanted to question him about why he was smiling. It was usually because he was just looking for a reason to fight and he was excited with the anticipation of a good rumble. To him, a fun night out on the town was to get into a fight or two. And when no one would bite, he'd find a way to get someone to fight him. But he wasn't a big talker at all. He'd do something like bump into somebody on purpose and then get in the guy's face and blame the guy for bumping into him. If the guy did anything other than put his hands out and apologize profusely, it was on. Those who knew him avoided him...especially after he had a few drinks in him and he got a gleam in his eye and his smile grew bigger
Greg, I generally find you to be one of the more informative and reasonable posters on this site but seems like you're just taking a contrarian point here IMO
But I love the new way we make judgements these day especially where celebs are concerned: Guilty until proven in innocent, it s a fine way to bring the high and mighty down.
Posting to social media seems to be this girl's last resort. The bruising seems to be substantial. Her claim is that this is an on-going issue.
Put yourself in her shoes. She lives in Columbus and is dating a GOD in the town. Said god knows he has carte blanche to do as he pleases in this town. Maybe she has brought this up to authorities before. Look at PSU, things get swept away in big college towns. Not saying that's the case, but I can see why a girl would take the Instagram route, especially after this incident when 4 people who are "witnesses" side with said god.
I don't think it is either or: she can be a victim of abuse and seeking a payout.
We often want to turn victims into pure innocent lambs. Often they are not. Just because you arethevictim of crime does not mean you are not shady yourself.
We just don't have enough info to know her motives.
However, I'm glad Giants stayed away from Elliot. He may be exonerated in this case but Once a guy has one off the field problem,he usually has others. Jerry World is the perfect place for him

As a Giant fan I have felt snake-bit in recent years due to the injury bug. But the Cowboys fans are going through similar feelings; only theirs are self-inflicted by the players.
