This is one of those situations where people will say if you are innocent why did you pay her off? It is a very valid question, and while I am not saying Bradley is innocent, it isn’t unusual for these type of payoffs to happen.
People don’t want their reputation drag through the mud and once you are accused of rape, no matter if you are found innocent or not, that stays with you forever.
In the end, though, Bradley might want to try to prove his innocence between the information came out anyway, therefore defeating the point of the payoff.
TMZ breaks down what happened.
Detroit Pistons player Avery Bradley entered into a confidentiality agreement with a reality star who accused him of sexual assault earlier this year — and at one point, negotiations got as high as $400k, TMZ Sports has learned.
Here’s what we know … the allegation stems from an incident on May 23 in Cleveland, Ohio. The woman involved claimed Bradley sexually assaulted her while she was passed out drunk.
Bradley was a member of the Boston Celtics at the time of the incident. The Celtics were in Cleveland to play the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals.
After the incident, the woman contacted Bradley and accused him of assaulting her. The two sides came together to work out a deal to keep her quiet and prevent her from releasing any video, photos or audio.
The woman allegedly had video, photos, and other evidence to prove her case.
Here is what Bradley’s lawyer had to say.
“Mr. Bradley absolutely denies having engaged in wrongdoing whatsoever. The confidentiality agreement specifically refutes and denies the validity of all allegations of any wrongful conduct by Mr. Bradley. The sole purpose of the agreement was to protect the reputation and privacy of Mr. Bradley and his family.”
Wolf adds, “My office will take all appropriate action against all persons involved in the wrongful disclosure of this agreement. We will conduct a thorough investigation into who is responsible for this wrongful disclosure.”
Bradley should have been focused on LeBron, but now he is a half million lighter in the wallet, and the information came out anyway.
