Josh Brown is really trying to use his white privilege to get you to believe that he didn’t hit his wife even though he admitted to beating his wife, the owner of the team said he told him he beat his wife and the NFL had to hide his wife from him.
Here is what he had to say.
I am sorry that my past has called into question the character or integrity of The New York Giants, Mr. Mara or any of those who have supported me along the way. I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic. It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would. Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors. The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life. My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man. In the interim, I am cooperating with the Giants and the NFL. Thank you to everyone that has supported me, I will not let you down.
Here is what the Giants owner had to say last week.
On Thursday, Mara said this about Brown: “He certainly admitted to us that he abused his wife in the past. What’s a little unclear is the extent of that.”
Here is what Josh Brown said in his own words via journals, emails and letters.
“I have physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man,” Brown wrote in one of his journal entries. Just below that he circled the words “I have abused my wife.”
“I made selfish decisions to use and abuse women starting at the age of 7 to fill this void. I objectified women and never really worried about the pain and hurt I caused them.
“Because I never handled these underlying issues I became an abuser and hurt Molly physically, emotionally and verbally. I viewed myself as God basically and she was my slave.”
“I have physically, verbally and emotionally abused my wife Molly,” “I have controlled her by making her feel less human than me, and manipulated her with money” and “I have disregarded my step sons’ feelings and they have witnessed me abusing their mother.”
“I am sure there were several moments of panic for the boys and wondering if they were in a safe place with me. I am sure you were afraid to tell me how you truly felt because you feared my reaction. … I have struck fear in your heart and not love, compassion or friendship. From the bruise on your leg when we argued … to the zipper that caught you last April. I am ashamed and disgraced to call myself a husband.”
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a psychopath to me, who now wants you to believe he never hit his wife.
The Giants cut him shortly after this statement was released, now we know there were two versions of the statement.
One where Josh Brown lied (the above one) and this one the Giants put out that left the lie out.
Josh Brown's statement via @Giants is a bit different than the one he released earlier. Gone is where he said he "never struck" his wife. pic.twitter.com/521DLQBTHV
