We’ve got bad news for Carolina Panthers fans!
Defensive end Greg Hardy, who is set to earn $13.1 million in the upcoming season, was arrested and charged with threatening and assaulting his 24-year-old girlfriend Nicole Holder. Holder says she was thrown onto a couch covered in firearms.
According to the police report obtained by the Charlotte Observer, Greg “was angry with her because of a short-lived relationship with the rapper Nelly, who is part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. She stated in the court documents that she and Hardy had been trying to work things out and that she and Hardy were in bed together early Tuesday morning when Hardy ‘just snapped.'”
“On Thursday, after a judge dismissed a request for a temporary restraining order against Hardy because the accuser failed to appear at a civil hearing in Charlotte, another judge, who had presided over Hardy’s bond hearing on Wednesday, amended the terms of the bond and he must now surrender all of his weapons and firearms, according to the Charlotte Observer.
According to the judge, both Hardy and Holder were intoxicated at the time of the incident. Hardy’s attorney, Chris Fialko, maintains that his client is innocent and that Holder is responsible for the disturbance after she attacked Hardy and his friend, Sammy Curtis.
CBSSports.com reportedly obtained a copy of Greg’s 911 call during which he claims that Nicole hit him in the face two times with her shoe. They also got their hands on a second call from Greg’s neighbor stating that he was “beating Nicole’s ass.” A third call from another neighbor revealed even more about the fight.
“He promised my my name wouldn’t be involved,” the caller told the 911 dispatcher. “Because I’m seriously afraid of my neighbor. He’s a huge guy. He’s 6-4 and 290 pounds. There were like eight guys right here outside my door. I was kind of afraid to say anything.”
Nelly has yet to make a comment on the situation but this isn’t the first love triangle he’s been involved in recently, as we’re all aware of his current beef with Floyd Mayweather over Miss Jackson, not to mention his previous inability to choose between Ashanti and LaShontae Heckard.
This is seriously getting out of hand. Stay tuned for updates.
