Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy was accused Wednesday of arranging for a man to attack his ex-girlfriend in an effort to remove her from his home. The Associated Press reports that McCoy and the alleged victim had previously appeared in court over McCoy’s attempts to evict her. The woman’s lawyer claimed Wednesday that on Tuesday morning, a man entered the home “with no signs of forced entry,” “physically assaulted” the ex, and “demanded specific items of jewelry that had been gifted to her from McCoy, who had requested them back on many occasions.” The accusation comes a day after an anonymous source posted a photo of the ex-girlfriend’s bloody face on Instagram, and blamed McCoy for the assault. McCoy denied those charges Tuesday.
