Mychelle Johnson, who suffered injuries from the attack on Tuesday, took to Instagram to share photos of her wounds and wrote that she has decided to speak out about the incident because she doesn’t want this to happen to anyone else.
Johnson, who has been associated with Bridges since at least 2016 and has two young children with him, expressed, “I strongly dislike that it has reached this point, but I can no longer remain quiet.”
“I’ve permitted someone to demolish my residence, mistreat me in every conceivable manner, and traumatize our children indefinitely.”
TMZ reported that an argument between Johnson and Bridges allegedly escalated into a violent situation, prompting a call to the police on Tuesday at their Los Angeles residence.
Sources from the police department stated that Bridges, who had previously been fined $50,000 for striking a fan, was charged with a violent domestic felony involving physical assault. It was reported that he turned himself in to the police the day after the incident occurred, but when the authorities arrived at the location, Bridges was no longer present. He is known to be a spokesperson for the accused.
He was set free shortly thereafter on $130,000 bail, as reported by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
In her Instagram post, Johnson, who previously played college basketball at Marshall University and Middle Tennessee State University, asserted that the assault resulted in multiple injuries, including a fractured nose and wrist, a torn eardrum, strained neck muscles due to choking, and a “severe concussion.”
She shared photos of her arm, back, and legs with blue and black bruises, scratches on her face, a bloody ear, and a fractured nose.
She stated that she was a victim of abuse by a male partner, and she had sustained a concussion, a strained neck, and a nasal bone fracture, as mentioned in the medical report shared from the hospital.
“Johnson wrote, I am not someone who can paint a picture and feel no remorse. I am not someone who can paint a picture and feel no remorse. I cannot do anything that would allow anyone to witness something so horrible. However, I have nothing to prove to the world.”
It is indeed appalling, dishonest, and improper. I will not allow people to protect this person and allow him to continue lying to me and keeping silent.
Johnson expressed that she has always had “optimism” and “affection” in her heart but “it’s time I assert myself.”
She expressed her determination to no longer stay quiet in order to protect others, as she values her own self-worth and the happiness of her children more than anyone’s ‘reputation’.
She continued, “I want all that is better. I just want this person to deserve help to get my kids, and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. I don’t need sympathy.”
I am extremely hurt and afraid in this very painful situation, which hurts everything, including myself. It is especially painful to see my children being hurt and scared. I kindly request that you stop spreading the disgusting allegations and rumors and respect the privacy of my family.
