Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller has responded to allegations that he assaulted his pregnant girlfriend.
Miller says the allegations are “100 percent false” and “overblown.
“Obviously, there are things that I can’t talk about but everything that was out is completely wrong and blown out of proportion,” Miller said in a statement. “Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does but there has never been any of those things that was alleged against me. Hopefully, over time all of this stuff will get cleared up. Sometimes life just … be life-ing. You’ve just got to keep pushing and keep moving. The people who know me and the people who have been around me know my character, they know who I am.”
The alleged assault went down on Nov. 29. Miller allegedly pushed the woman and held her neck with pressure for about 3 to 5 seconds as she yelled,” Stop, I’m pregnant.”
After the incident, Miller turned himself in to the Glenn Heights Police Department the following day on an arrest warrant for a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman.
He was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail before being released on $5,000 bond.
