Ezekiel Elliott's girlfriend posts photos of domestic abuse

Tiffany Thompson, the girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, posted a series of graphic photos Friday on her Instagram account indicating she is a victim of domestic violence.

"Just for every women out there getting abused it's time to put a stop to it," Thompson wrote on Instagram. "This has been happening to me for months and it finally got out of control to where I was picked up and thrown across the room by my arms. Thrown into walls. Being choked to where I have to gasp for breath. Bruised everywhere, mentally and physically abused. It's not okay. So I want each and everyone one of you girls to step away now from domestic violence. You're worth so much more. I got told it was called "tough love" I'm sorry if you love someone you don't touch your loved ones."

The photos were deleted 40 minutes after they were published, but here are screenshots:

I smell another suspension on our hands.

This is a really bad day for people doing their fantasy drafts way too early

Today is his birthday. Happy birthday Zeke!

Smells fishy
If she has had enough why did she not go to the police?

This Tweet already pulled. I'm calling bullshit on this claim.

"Cops came to the scene, and the woman complained of pain in her wrist and showed a red mark. She refused medical attention.

Elliot denied touching her, and also said he never lived with her.

4 witnesses were interviewed, and each of them said they didn’t see anything. One witness was also in the car when the alleged incident took place.

Due to conflicting reports, the running back was not arrested, but his accuser was referred to the prosecutor’s office if she wants to try to press charges."

Victims of domestic abuse do plenty of counterintuitive things. It's not really all that outside of the norm for something like this to not get to that level even when physical.

Yes, because victims of domestic violence always go to the police.

Yes, because victims of domestic violence always go to the police.

I understand your point albeit weak sarcasm - but if she is posting pics all over instagram I am guessing she ain't that worried about keeping this buttoned up and ain't that worried about repercussions.

If true, he should be suspended for at least 6 games, if not more.

If not true, she should be arrested and locked away until she realizes how backwards her logic is.

Hope it gets sorted.

Exactly. Women who don't go to the police do it for the same reasons they don't blast shit on Instagram.

It's always well thought out when people post on social media (weak sarcasm).

It was immediately taken down.

It is possible to want to drag his name in the mud for assaulting her AND not want to press charges.

True that -
Money grab perhaps?

This must be "Running Back Sabotage Day".

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott Accused Of Domestic Violence, Denies Allegations

Update:

Pro Football Talk reports that the NFL will investigate the domestic abuse allegations against Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott.

———-

TMZ reports that Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott has been named a a suspect in a domestic violence police report. However, Elliott denies any wrong doing.

According to TMZ, the female accuser filed a report with Columbus PD in Ohio Friday morning alleging that she was assaulted by Elliott, while sitting in the driver’s seat of her parked vehicle.

Elliott not only denied hitting her, but said he never lived with the woman like she claimed.

Four witnesses told police that they didn’t see an assault, and one of the witnesses was in the car at the time of the incident.

Elliott was not arrested, due to conflicting reports.

Sources close to Elliott told TMZ: “I can assure you [the allegations] are not true.”

———-

Tiffany Thompson, the girlfriend of Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott, posted photos on her Instagram account Friday morning that show a number of bruises all over her body that she indicates are the result of domestic violence.

Thompson captioned the photos with: “Just for every women out there getting abused it’s time to put a stop to it. This has been happening to me for months and it finally got out of control to where I was picked up and thrown across the room by my arms. Thrown into walls. Being choked to where I have to gasp for breath. Bruised everywhere, mentally and physically abused. It’s not okay. So I want each and everyone one of you girls to step away now from domestic violence. You’re worth so much more. I got told it was called “tough love” I’m sorry if you love someone you don’t touch your loved ones.“

She also tagged Elliott in a second set of photos posted on her Instagram account.

If Elliott is responsible for this is in any way, he could be looking at serious punishment from the NFL.

Elliott, 20, was taken with the No. 4 overall pick by the Cowboys a few weeks ago. He was considered to be by far the best running back in this year’s draft class, and even though the Cowboys reportedly liked CB Jalen Ramsey quite a bit, they elected to go with a potential game-changing running back in round one.

According to OverTheCap.com, Elliott receives a four-year contract worth $24,956,342 to go along with a signing bonus of $$16,350,068. The contract will include a fifth-year option for the team to consider in 2019.

During his college career at Ohio State, Elliott ran for 3,961 yards on 592 carries (6.7 YPC) to go along with 58 receptions for 449 yards receiving and 44 total touchdowns.

We’ll have more regarding Elliott and the domestic violence allegations as the news is available.

Arresting her would be so politically incorrect. The best that can be hoped is "insufficient evidence"
I don't normally side against the victim but this doesn't sound right. I'm thinking it will go nowhere.....

My statement was more directed for those few women that make shit up to either get in the news or get a settlement check.

Patrick Kane's accuser is a great example. I think lying about it for fame or money might be worse than committing the crime.
