    NFL fans react as Geno Smith gets accused of beating ex-girlfriend and evidence tampering

    AdminBy No Comments3 Mins Read0 Views


    Geno Smith has returned to the news — and not for good reason.

    On Tuesday, police in the Miami suburb of Davie, Florida, announced that they would be actively investigating the New York Jets quarterback for domestic violence. Officers had been sent to his home on Sunday after a woman purporting to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said he assaulted her and attempted to prevent her from releasing the footage of their altercation.

    She also ranted on Instagram that he did it “cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be left alone with him because hed (sic) rather watch s*x online and play Call of Duty.”

    A spokesperson for the NFL issued this statement:

    “We are aware of the matter, and the club has been in contact with the league. We have no further comment at this time.”

    Popular reaction to it was rampant:

    @TMZ Thank god he didn’t introduce the president otherwise this might be an issue

    @TMZ Geno Smith is trading touchdowns for a legal nightmare; turns out some plays in the off-season come with heavy, serious flags.

    @TMZ Gino is a jet. Jets don’t beat anyone. Case closed

    @TMZ That shouldn’t be tolerated, hope she’s safe

    @TMZ the video and the audio together are completely gut wrenching

    @TMZ Are you sure he never did that?

    Smith has already gained at least one defender: a certain “Kennedy”, the mother of his son. In an Instagram story, she wrote:

    “Geno is and always has been more than capable of taking care of his son. Let’s kill that narrative. Don’t get on the internet bringing my son into your web of dysfunction.”

    Also on Tuesday, the New York Post uncovered a prior incident between Geno Smith and Davie police.

    On March 18, the quarterback, still fresh off being traded to the Jets, was pulled over for driving an improperly tagged vehicle (the plates on his Rolls-Royce were registered to a Lamborghini). Displeased, he explained:

    “I’ve got a lot of cars, fam. I probably switched the tag on the cars.”

    He later added:

    “But I’m saying, why’d you read my tag?. You just wanted to? It’s a nice car and you just wanted to?”

    When the officer said he was doing his job, Smith retorted:

    “Do your job better.”

    Smith was given two citations afterward — one for the aforementioned improper tag, and another for not presenting his driver’s license on demand.
