Losing his job this past week was the least of Earl Thomas’ worries in 2020 after he came close to actually losing his life when his wife held a loaded gun less than a foot from his head after she allegedly caught him cheating with another woman.
Back in April, police responded to a home in the Austin, Texas area where they say “we observed that a black female wearing an orange sweater with a knife in her hand, later identified as Nina Thomas, was chasing a shirtless black male, later identified as Earl Thomas, with a pistol in his hand around a vehicle.”
Fast forward to August and TMZ Sports is now reporting Nina Thomas’ next court date on the matter is set for Sept. 3 in Texas at 1:30 PM CT.
Following an argument, Nina Thomas reportedly logged into his snapchat account to see where he had stormed off to and she found a video of Earl with another woman at a nearby Airbnb rental.
She called up two other women to help her confront Earl where she claims she grabbed Earl’s pistol, a 9mm Berreta, in the process with the intention to “scare him.” That’s when Nina admits she pulled out the gun and put it to Earl’s head — stating “that she took out the magazine thinking that the gun could not fire.” But, cops say Nina was “unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber.”
The then-Ravens DB, who was in bed with a woman and his brother, wrestled the gun away from his wife, but Nina was still able to strike him in the nose.

Court records show Nina was also hit with an emergency protective order … requiring her to stay 200 yards away from Earl and his alleged mistress.
Earl and Nina were married in an extravagant wedding back in April 2016.
