In June 2022, Charlotte Hornets star player Miles Bridges was charged with domestic violence allegations for hitting his ex-girlfriend Mychelle Johnson in front of their two children. The 26-year-old forward had previously faced charges of misdemeanor child abuse and damaging personal property, but these charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence.
However, Bridges faced criticism several months after the incident when a fan commented “OK Abuser” on one of his posts on X (formerly known as Twitter). In response, Bridges denied the accusation, stating “Never abused anybody.” The fan then shared a photo of Bridges’ ex-girlfriend, Mychelle Johnson, which showed injuries to her face, and asked Bridges, “Then who did this?” Bridges defended himself, claiming the injuries were due to acne and failed lip filler.
Bridges faced heavy criticism after the incident. However, Johnson stood in support of him and explained her point by saying that Bridges was not a woman beater.
“He’s not a woman beater. If you asked me to describe him, that word would never come to my mind & he’s never, never abused our children. We all have our flaws & he’s not perfect, but overall, he’s a good person.” Mychelle Johnson wrote in her post on X.
