Buckle up, internet, because this story is wild. Vernon Davis, former NFL tight end is reportedly in hot water after a woman accused him of beating her with books. Yes, you read that right, books. Not a baseball bat, not a frying pan, but actual books.
Apparently, the argument was over abortion and honestly, if your relationship escalates to weaponized literature, maybe it’s time to reevaluate your life choices.
The story broke this week, and naturally, social media lost it. Twitter detectives immediately started speculating which books were involved. Was it a hardcover self-help? A romance novel? Or maybe a dusty old copy of “War and Peace” for maximum bruising?
TMZ Sports obtained the criminal complaint filed on Jan. 8 … with the woman claiming she was at the ex-49ers tight end’s home on May 31 when a disagreement broke out in his room over her pregnancy.
In the complaint, the woman says the 41-year-old “was hitting me w/ magazines + books from under his TV” … and added he offered her $10,000.
The woman said Davis stopped in his tracks when she pulled out her phone to record him.
Days later, on June 7, the woman said another argument broke out when she accused Davis of lying to her … and when she sat next to him on the couch, she claims he slapped her in the face and told her “not to question him.”
She said later that night, she recorded a conversation with Davis, where he stated, “If I really slapped you, your face would be blue/black.”
Vernon Davis is probably lawyering up to face the woman in the courtroom.
In the complaint, the woman said there was a separate physical altercation with Davis that left her with visible bruises. She stated that the incident was days before the May 31 altercation and prior to finding out she was pregnant, and noted there is an open strangulation and assault case regarding that matter.
A warrant for Davis’ arrest was issued on Jan. 8 for assault and battery. He has a court date slated for February.
Sources close to the Super Bowl champion tell us he is taking the allegations seriously.
This whole situation is a reminder that arguments should not involve objects, especially not items heavy enough to give someone a concussion. And if you’re going to have a heated debate over sensitive topics, maybe leave the furniture, kitchen appliances, and, yes, books out of it.
So, here’s the takeaway: Vernon Davis reportedly fought with books during an argument over abortion. The internet laughed, cried, and judged. Legal experts might get involved and library patrons everywhere are now questioning their personal safety.
