People are either going to believe she is being sincere or Peterson paid her off to say nice things about him.
That is up to you to decide, but here is what she had to say via USA Today.
“She has valued her friendship with Mr. Peterson over the last seven years. She and Mr. Peterson have shared a parental relationship for four years with a fun, beautiful little boy. My client knows that Mr. Peterson loves their son very much and has confidence that he will remain an involved parent with their son throughout his life.
“My client asks the media and the public to respect her and their son’s privacy. My client has no interest in Mr. Peterson’s career being harmed and hopes that the NFL will not impose any additional punishment on him.”
The NFL is in a tricky spot because they paid him while he was suspended. Other players who have accepted plea deals and were suspended weren’t paid.
A solution could be a fine or a non-paid suspension. The NFL says there is no timetable for their decision.
