As per the images, she received injuries to her nose, wrist, ear, and neck after being "strangulated." She also had to be taken to a hospital where she is described as a victim of physical abuse by male partner" and "assault by strangulation."
She wrote that she had nothing to prove to the world, but just couldn't take being 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.”
Despite her obvious injuries, some continued to defend the Charlotte Hornets star, much to the disgust of Jada Rice. The daughter of NFL legend Jerry Rice took to her Instagram story to slam the "misogynistic homoeroticism" in response to Johnson's apparent ordeal.
In a series of Instagram stories, she wrote:
“There are men in the comments still rooting for this man. Ladies stay strapped like I said. A lot of misogynistic homoeroticism going on. They’re like 'he will be a successful anyway, f*** women'. Even though the story would be different had it been their mother, daughter, or sister. Do better…”
