This is bad news for Ezekiel Elliott.
Just when you thought the Dallas Cowboys running back was out of the woods after being detained in Las Vegas, it seems his shoving victim has had a change of heart and is thinking of pressing charges against him now.
Unless Zeke complies with one simple demand.
Via TMZ:
“The victim is 19-year-old Kyle Johnson.
Johnson tells CBS2 in L.A. he was working as a security guard at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas on May 19 when his security team told Elliott he was not allowed to enter a restricted area … and that’s when Elliott got aggressive.
Johnson claims Zeke appeared drunk — “he didn’t really seem to have a clue about where he was” — and when they tried to direct him to leave the area, the Dallas Cowboys star got in his face and shoved him over a metal gate.
Cops asked Johnson if he wanted to press charges and at the time he declined because, “I didn’t want to make a rash decision that soon without evaluating it further. It was 3 AM. I was shocked.”
Johnson says all he wanted at the time was an apology from Elliott — a guy he used to look up to — but got a fake lip-service apology instead.
“I did get an apology from him, it wasn’t a sincere apology. He didn’t maintain eye contact. It didn’t seem sincere at all.”
Now, Johnson is evaluating all of his legal options — but says a “sincere apology” from Elliott would probably end the drama once and for all.
“I wasn’t hurt or anything but to have someone that you looked up to shove you on the ground over a metal fence? It’s not the biggest thing in the world … but [to say] nothing happened? I mean, come on.”
