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

Josh in the City : 7/22/2016 10:19 am
She doesn't specifically say it's him doing it but the images speak for themselves. Pretty crazy!

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?

but keep this in mind too:

1. Bromley's accuser didn't have bruises all over (at least to my knowledge) that supported her claims.
2. I believe Hardy had "witnesses" too. It's a much stronger statement if the witness in the backseat that claimed he/she didn't see any abuse is a good friend of the GF rather than a long time friend of Elliott's.


Money talks. No idea if he did it or not, but a payoff is easy and happens all the time.
So far, there's enough that has been reported

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.

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.

I have no idea why people post their kids online.

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.
