Wife of Charlotte Hornets player Miles Bridges shares photos of alleged assault

Mychelle Johnson, the wife of Charlotte Hornets player Miles Bridges, for the first time addressed domestic abuse allegations raised against the NBA forward, sharing disturbing images that show the injuries she claims to have suffered at his hand.

In a post shared to Instagram Thursday night, Johnson revealed she suffered a fractured nose, a fractured wrist, a torn eardrum, and a “severe concussion” as a result of her husband’s alleged abuse. She also wrote that she had torn muscles in her neck “from being choked until i went to sleep.”

Photos shared alongside the statement show her swollen face as well as her bruised hands and arms. In one image, her cheek is scratched and her ears are bleeding while another shows her official diagnosis, which reads, “Adult victim of physical abuse caused by a male partner.”

Mychelle Johnson, the wife of Charlotte Hornets player Miles Bridges, posted disturbing photos of herself online.

“I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore,” wrote Johnson, who shares two children with Bridges.

“I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life. I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won’t allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I’m not.”

Johnson also shared a video of one of her children asking: “Did Daddy choke Mommy?”

The Instagram post came a day after the 24-year-old NBA player was reportedly arrested for felony domestic violence in Los Angeles. Bridges was taken into custody on Wednesday after a fight with his wife escalated and turned physical, according to TMZ.

He was later released on $130,000 bond and is due back in court on July 20.

In a statement issued after his arrest, the Hornets said the organization was “aware” of Bridges’ situation and that it had “no further comment at this time.”
