Following the Tuesday arrest of Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges, his wife, Mychelle Johnson, shared disturbing images and a police report that show the aftermath of the alleged domestic violence assault committed by Bridges.
Late Thursday evening, Johnson spoke out on her Instagram and included pictures of her injuries. She said in part: “I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life. I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won’t allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I’m not.”
Johnson’s words were accompanied by the following photos:

Johnson further continued her Instagram post: “I won’t allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person. It’s unethical, it’s immoral, it’s truly SICK. It hurts my heart because I’ve always had hope, and so much love and as scary as this is for me to do it’s time I stand up for myself. I won’t be silent to protect others anymore because I value myself and my kids more than.”
She also shared a picture of her hospital discharge paper which listed her diagnosis in the following manner: “Adult victim of physical abuse by male partner; Assault by strangulation; Brain concussion; Closed fracture of nasal bone; Contusion of rib; Multiple bruises; Strain of neck muscle.

Bridges is a hellova man????
The Hornets say they will refrain from commenting on the situation until they gather more information. Hmm…do they have enough information now?
Lighting a hundred mil on fire just for being a dirtbag.
Another 13% black thug that enjoys laying hands on women seems like we get a lot of these stories about these black mfers
Put him in with the regulars they know how to handle mfers that like to abuse women and children and that money sack will be the least of his problems
Does Vegas have an over/under on when/If we will EVER have a full week WITHOUT some NFL / NBA thug-alete being involved in some form of “sexual assault” charge.
.
I’ll put $10 on “we’ll NEVER have such a week ever again….” … sigh.
I’m in. I’m not a gambler, but this seems like a lock.
The NBA response: We take these incidents very seriously. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation, and gather all the facts before determining the length of Mrs. Bridges suspension from attending future NBA games.
