“I hate that it has reached this point, but I can no longer remain silent. I have allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every possible way and injure our children for life,” he wrote in the post accompanying the images. . . “I have nothing to prove to the world, but I will not allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no regrets and paint something I am not. I will not allow the people around him to continue to gossip about me and keep lying to protect this person. “ One of the images uploaded to Instagram appears to be a discharge document from a hospital emergency department. He describes Johnson as “an adult victim of physical abuse by a male partner” and “an attack with strangulation”. According to the document, the injuries she was diagnosed with included a closed fracture of her nasal bone, a fracture in the ribs, multiple bruises and straining of the neck muscles. In the Instagram post, Johnson also said that “she was afraid and in pain for my children who were witnesses of everything”. Johnson’s husband, Bridges, 24, was arrested and charged in Los Angeles on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. LAPD officer Matthew Cruz did not disclose the basis for the arrest warrant because of his “confidential nature”. CNN contacted Bridges’s representative for comment, but received no response. Asked about the images and allegations, NBA spokesman Mike Bass told CNN, “We are in the process of gathering more information.” Bridges’ bail was set at about $ 130,000 and he has since been released, according to prison records. “The Charlotte Hornets are aware of the situation regarding the Miles Bridges. We are in the process of gathering additional information. We will not have further comments at this time,” the group said in a statement earlier this week. Bridges was selected by the Hornets in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft from Michigan State and is coming from his best year professionally. He was ready to become a limited free agent this off-season. According to the prison file, Bridges’ next trial is scheduled for July 20. CNN’s Homero De la Fuente contributed to the report.
