EX-NFL Star Braylon Edwards Accused of Attacking a Paparazzi, Denies Allegations
Braylon Edwards, who used to play for the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets, has been allegedly accused of a attacking a paparazzi, on Sunday at a night club in Detroit.
It all started when the paparazzi caught a video of Braylon, who appears to be pushing someone outside the club. Braylon confronted the paparazzi and asked to show him the video, but when the paparazzi declined and said no, that's when things turned awful.
TMZ first reported the said incident. A representative of Braylon also told TMZ that the ex-NFL player never did anything wrong and that the paparazzi only filed the case to get money from the football player.
On Tuesday, TMZ posted a follow-up report on Braylon's scuffle with the paparazzi. The popular celebrity gossip Web site, apparently, got hold of the video and posted it on its Web site. In the video, you can see Braylon confronting a much smaller man. Then when the man steered away, Braylon grabbed him on his ankle and flipped him over before pushing him on the parked car. Watch the video and see for yourself.
Braylon has expressed his thoughts and feelings on the matter through Twitter. Check out his posts below.
Again, you can watch the video over and over again, but based on the evidence, it is impossible to say that the reports were pure blasphemy. Braylon dropped the man he is doing a pass over the middle. The man may not be harmed but what happened is pretty comprehensible. Braylon even waited for the man to turn his back before grabbing the ankles.
The alleged victim plans to continue the case all the way through, he told TMZ.
Braylon has often had trouble with the law. From 2002 to 2010, he has been pulled seven times because of speeding violations. He has reportedly punched Lebron James' acquaintance Edward Givens in 2009. He was also caught driving while intoxicated in 2010.
Currently, Braylon Edwards is a free agent and if he wants to get his career back, he should know better. He really needs to be cautious because he can surely hurt people.
