Ezekiel Elliott's GF posts images of abuse on social media

She doesn't specifically say it's him doing it but the images speak for themselves. Pretty crazy!

Update from TMZ  
bumpsinthenight : 7/22/2016 10:34 am : link
Quote:
Update (10:20 a.m.): Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been named a suspect in a domestic violence police report obtained by TMZ Sports ... but the 21-year-old has DENIED any wrongdoing and was NOT arrested.

The female accuser filed a report with the Columbus PD in Ohio Friday morning ... saying she was assaulted by Elliott -- who she claims is her former live-in boyfriend -- while sitting in the driver's seat of her parked vehicle.

The officers who responded to the scene say the woman claims she had pain in her wrist and a red mark -- but declined medical treatment.

Cops contacted Elliott -- who denied striking the woman. He also said he never lived with her.

In the report, cops list the accuser as a 20-year-old woman -- 5'5", 120 lbs. Elliott is listed at 6'0", 225 lbs.

According to the report, cops also spoke with 4 witnesses -- but they all told cops they didn't see an assault. One of the witnesses was in the car at the time of the alleged incident.
Due to the conflicting reports, Elliott was NOT arrested -- but the accuser was referred to the prosecutor's office ... if she wants to try to press charges.
We reached out to Elliott's camp -- one person in his agent's office told us, "I can assure you [the allegations] are not true."

Because domestic abuse seemingly happens "non-stop" in pro sports nowadays. Not all "violent" crimes are equal in my eyes. I don't think 2 grown men getting into a fight at a bar is the same as someone putting their hands on women. There is something to be said for being an "equal" in terms of physicality as well. Me fighting you (Greg) likely doesn't have the same result of me punching my wife. I think it's time we scare the shit out of anyone who even thinks of grabbing, hitting, pushing, terrorizing a woman or child.

I generally agree with a lot of what you say but I think you are really in an extreme minority view if you really don't think domestic abuse (women, children etc) should have a stricter punishment then say a player getting into a fist fight with a bouncer at a club.
I think we need to see what happens here.

Too many people were quick to judge Bromley with his situation but that woman was nuts. I am not saying this is the case here but you ha e to let both sides play out. There are 2 conflicting facts that can be found out. She is saying they lived together and Elliot said he never did. The "witnesses" said they didn't see anything that would constitute as domestic violence. She somehow has bruises. A lot of conflicting info.

The issue with your comparison is it's been proven that abused partners very often are unable to "break away". A huge guy destroying some tiny man in your scenario would likely result in extreme injuries and obviously that too would result in a major suspension. The point is if Eli Manning gives a bounce a black eye because he spilled a drink on him, that's an isolated incident. Domestic abuse very often is not. These guys need to be "trained" out of thinking this is even an option. Bar fights will happen until the end of time.

There's a problem in this country with violence against women, and its definitely prevalent with athletes. The law treats domestic abuse more harshly than a bar fight, so why shouldn't the NFL?

Yes, hitting a man who's that same size isn't right either, but how large is that problem? The last time something like that popped up that I remember was with Jahlil Okafor and apparently that guy hit him first and kept coming at him (I could be wrong).

But still, what would you do if some guy at your wife's office hit her? I'm guessing you wouldn't weigh it the same as if he hit another male co-worker of the same size.

But no one is saying don't punish one while punishing others. You, on the other hand, give an impression of all violent crimes needing to be categorized as the same crime.

A player getting into a fight after a drunken night out should get punished; a player beating his child should get punished far far more severly.

even the police have different rules for domestic violence, it's not the same because in cases of domestic violence, far more than other violent crimes, the victim feels scared and sometimes intimidated to the point it's un or under-reported. It also carries a mental abuse portion that normally isn't there with a simple assault.

police have different actions and protocol for domestic violence and I think it makes sense for the NFL to do so as well.

agree with DMM, a one-off bar fight should have ramifications, beating your wife/GF should have different ones.

Ray Rice still has no job and he recently said if anyone hires him he'd donate his entire paycheck to DV related charities. Maybe he wasn't elite, but he was better than some backs trotted out there on a weekly basis.

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.

It's not a question of someone being worthier of protection. It's that the nature of the crime is different.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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
