Miami Dolphins superstar cornerback Xavien Howard is being sued for assault and battery by the mother of his children. Per Andy Slater of FoxSports640, this is from a December 2019 incident in which Howard was arrested for assaulting the mother of his childern. The NFL did not suspend Howard for this arrest, and charges were later dropped in 2020.
At the time, Howard, who was then 26, and his fiancée got into an argument over the purchasing of a purse, which escalated into a physical spat. Allegedly Howard grabbed his fiancée by the arm and shoved her against a mirrored glass wall in the bedroom of their Florida home, according to reports. The alleged victim then fell to the floor, crunching her right arm against Howard’s crutches, reports said.
During a 911 call on Dec. 29, 2019, the fiancee of the Dolphins cornerback alleged he abused her on multiple occasions.
“My fiancee continues to think he can just push me, throw me into the wall without me doing nothing just because of who he is,” she said in a call to 911, per TMZ Sports. “But it’s kind of getting to a point, it’s like, it’s getting physical. … Every time a situation happens, it’s always like, ‘Oh, don’t do this,’ or ‘Oh, well you will be OK, don’t call the cops.’ But it’s like, OK, like him just pushing me into the mirror, grabbing my arm, grabbing me by my neck, like this is probably the last day that’s going to happen.”
