Eli Apple has more than just a bounty on his head, which was revealed by the mother of his child who made that threat public.
A woman identified as Destani released messages and photos with Apple on her Instagram story and claimed he didn’t want their baby to live out its days.
Destani claims that the NFL cornerback suggested letting the kid “DIE” because he was born at 25 weeks, weighed 1 lb. 12 oz., and had already undergone two surgeries. If that wasn’t bad enough, she also claims Apple refuses to give 30 MLS of blood to help save his life via a blood transfusion due to a heart problem.
“Fast forward to mid pregnancy my son has a heart condition and needs a cord blood transfusion but I’m not a direct match and Eli is – doctors set up the appointment for him to give 30 MLS – just fing 30 MLS of blood and this man refuse because I found out he was smashing a different woman in every city he went to RAW,” Destani wrote.
“After he told me it was best for the baby to ‘die’ I went CRAZY on him, and his mama cause girl your son is a POS [emoji]. So I had my son at 25 weeks at 1lb and 12oz and my son has had two surgeries since and this man has continued to talk about the bad health he wishes on his own child,” the Instagram model wrote.
Apple is getting set for his first year with the Miami Dolphins after they agreed to a contract with the free-agent cornerback this offseason. The former first-round selection of the New York Giants started 30 games for the Cincinnati Bengals across the past two years.
