Ex-NFL star Greg Hardy arrested after alleged ‘physical altercation' with girlfriend over cheating accusations
New details in the arrest of former Carolina Panthers star Greg Hardy surfaced in the days after he was charged with assault that revealed an alleged altercation between the former NFL player and his girlfriend over cheating accusations. Fox News Digital obtained an arrest report from the Richardson Police Department that detailed the events of the alleged assault, which seemingly began when Hardy and his girlfriend were on their way home from the park on Wednesday. According to the woman, she spoke to Hardy once their children were in bed and began to question him "about a woman she believed he was cheating on her with." The alleged victim in the case, who is not being identified, told law enforcement that she had previously seen messages between Hardy and this person and "wanted to see if he would lie." The argument escalated when the woman claimed that Hardy pushed her "with both of his hands on her chest" after she would not move out of his way. According to the report, Hardy then allegedly got on top of the woman, who had fallen on the bed, and "held her down with one of his hands around her neck." The woman said she did not lose consciousness and that her breathing was not restricted. She then admitted to kicking Hardy, which prompted him to leave the residence. Another officer made contact with Hardy, who had driven off. He told law enforcement that the argument began over a dispute over text messages and escalated when the woman "got close to his face and started poking him in the forehead with her index finger." He said he "moved" the woman out of his way and "placed her on the bed by grabbing her arms." He denied that anything else happened. According to the arrest report, the officer speaking to the woman observed scratches and redness on the woman's arms "that were consistent with a physical altercation." Officers did not note any visible injuries to Hardy. Hardy, 36, was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member. He spent five seasons with the Panthers, but he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list in 2014 while a domestic violence case against him played out. FOX 4 reported that in 2014, Hardy's ex-girlfriend alleged that the NFL player assaulted her during a fit of rage. He was initially convicted of assault, but those charges were later dismissed after the victim in the case failed to appear for a second trial. Hardy was then signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 2015, but he only played in 12 games that season after being issued a four-game suspension for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy as it related to his case in North Carolina. He was not re-signed the following season. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Ex-NFL player's girlfriend shares claims of intense physical abuse
The post Ex-NFL player's girlfriend shares claims of intense physical abuse appeared first on ClutchPoints. Greg Hardy is once again at the center of serious allegations. According to documents obtained by TMZ Sports, the former NFL defensive end's girlfriend told police he physically assaulted her during a heated argument over alleged infidelity, per TMZ. The incident reportedly unfolded on Wednesday afternoon in Texas. Hardy's girlfriend claimed the two were returning home from the park with their children when tension began building. When Hardy asked what was wrong, she allegedly told him they would talk later — not wanting to argue in front of the kids. Once they got home, she confronted him about suspicious messages she had seen on his phone. She accused him of cheating while out of town. At that point, she said Hardy snapped. According to her statement, Hardy told her to get out of his face, then shoved her in the chest with both hands, knocking her onto the bed. She alleged he climbed on top of her and used one hand to press her neck down. She did not lose consciousness but said she struggled beneath him. When she kicked at him in defense, Hardy allegedly grabbed her legs and twisted her body in the process. Police were called to the scene around 2 PM. Officers noted visible scratches and redness on the woman's arms. When asked to rate her pain, she described it as a one on a scale of one to 10. Hardy, 36, had already left the home when officers arrived. Police said he fled in a white 2018 GMC Acadia but was later located and taken into custody at 2:29 p.m. local time. Online records show he was charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member. As of Thursday morning, no bond had been set. This is not the first time Greg Hardy has faced troubling accusations. The former Pro Bowler's past includes a 2014 domestic violence case that effectively ended his NFL career. These new claims threaten to once again put his name in the spotlight — for all the wrong reasons.
