Miles Bridges' Wife Doubles Down: 'He's Not a Woman Beater'
Nearly a year ago, Mychelle Johnson, the wife of Charlotte Hornets' star Miles Bridges, came forward with evidence of domestic violence by posting pictures of bruises and scratches she had suffered.
Bridges turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department on the eve of free agency. After the domestic violence case was continued multiple times, Bridges eventually pleaded no contest, meaning he accepts conviction but does not plead or admit guilt.
Bridges sat out the entire 2022-23 season and as a result, will only be suspended for the first ten games of next season, commissioner Adam Silver announced earlier this offseason.
Since that announcement, there's been a lot of debate about whether or not it was the right punishment and some believe Bridges should not be allowed back in the NBA.
Last month, Johnson tweeted in support of Miles, stating that "he's not a woman beater" and that he should get another chance to play.
On Thursday, Mychelle made another post on Twitter, openly defending Miles' character.
"I'm the one who spoke out almost a year ago & sometimes I wish I didn't seeing the way people treat others & considering I'll always have love for Miles & our kids love him, but it also hurts me to see the constant bashing & tearing down on him. He is a human being just like us all, I make mistakes. You do, we all do. He's not a woman beater. If you asked me to describe him that word would never come to my mind & He's never, never abused our children. We all have our flaws & he's not perfect but overall he's a good person. And no he didn't ask me to say any of this, I chose to. I'm the reason for the bashing & hopefully I can be the reason for an open heart."
