Evelyn Lozada News: PHOTOS of Bloody Forehead Released, 'Basketball Wives' Star Had Gash After Chad Johnson Assault
Pictures of a bruised and battered Evelyn Lozada from the day of her domestic violence incident with ex-husband Chad Johnson were published on TMZ early Tuesday morning.
In August 2012, Johnson head butted his wife of one month after the two got into an argument in Jupiter, FL. Lozada sought medical attention but this is the first time her injuries have been seen. Lozada is shown with a bloodied forehead and a gash. The police report stated that the laceration measured 3 inches.
The photos can be seen here.
The photos were taken by Davie Police in the Florida emergency room where Evelyn was transported following her assault. Johnson pled no contest to misdemeanor domestic battery in September 2012. He avoided jail and was sentenced probation and required to attend anger management classes. However, over the course of the next few months, Johnson violated the terms of his agreement with the court. He went on a Twitter rant against his ex-wife in March and accused her of being promiscuous during their marriage. In May, he was arrested after a Florida judge determined that he was not meeting with his probation officer.
Johnson appeared before the court on June 10 to respond to the allegations against him. However, Judge Kathleen McHugh sentenced the former NFL wide receiver to 30 days after he slapped his attorney on the behind. Johnson spent a week in jail before McHugh relented and released him from incarceration on Monday after accepting his apology.
Johnson claimed that the judge did him a favor after his release because he had time to reflect. The formerNFLer player said that he loved the judge because she proved to be ablessing in disguse.
"A lot of people have tried to get me to slow down in life. Coaches, my agent, my lawyer. And there was one person that was able to do it. And that was my judge Ms. McHugh," he said.
Johnson appeared on Good Morning America Tuesday. He spoke with Robin Roberts about the past few days and whether he deserved a second chance in the NFL. The day after he was arrested for assaulting Lozada, the Miami Dolphins released him from their team.
"Everyone deserves a second chance," he said.
