IS JULISSA FROM 106 & PARK DATING A WOMAN BEATER?
****EXCLUSIVE****
June 7. Julissa Bermudez, the lovely co-host of BET's 106 & Park may be in serious trouble. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that she is currently dating an NFL player with a history of abusing women.
Reports began circulating a few months ago when Julissa and the player were spotted together at a number of high profile events. This week an insider confirmed to us that the two are a couple. According to our source, Julissa recently ended the relationship with her longtime boyfriend and is now officially dating the NFL player.
In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke to a woman who claims to have been abused by Julissa's NFL boyfriend. The woman, who is still so frightened of reprisal that she asked us to keep both her name and the NFL player's name confidential, spoke frankly about the physical abuse.
Last year when she confronted the player with another woman, he reportedly flew into a rage and body slammed her. The woman's friends convinced her to report the assault to police and the player was arrested. She later changed her mind, claiming she didn't want to damage the player's career, and denied the incident to police. The prosecutor subsequently dropped charges against the player.
But she wasn't the first woman claiming to be abused by the NFL player. A few years ago, the player was arrested for slapping another girlfriend and threatening her with a gun. This time he was convicted - but managed to avoid prison by agreeing to perform community service and attend an anger management program.
The number of NFL players recently arrested for abusing women is startling. In April, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bryce Fisher was arrested for twisting his wife's arm behind her back. His teammate, offensive tackle Sean Locklear, was arrested in January for grabbing his girlfriend by the throat outside a Seattle nightclub. And last week Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns was arrested for tossing his wife out of their home's front door.
Representatives for Julissa have not responded to our numerous requests for comment.
