Packers' WR Davante Adams " goes off on ex-NFL player Zac Stacy after video of violence against ex-girlfriend: "Stacy need to be thrown under the jail"
TMZ Sports released a video on Wednesday night of former NFL running back Zac Stacy beating the mother of his 5-month-old child right in front of his eyes.
Stacy: the reason behind the brutal attack
The video shows Stacy punching his ex in the head and onto the floor. He then throws her across the room into a TV that falls on top of her afterwards. Stacy frantically looks for an object to grab, and throws it at the frightened woman laying on the floor as he stands right on top of her. As if it wasn’t enough, the assaulter picks her up as he calls her a “f-ing b-” and body slams her against their child’s bouncy seat.
The baby is heard weeping in the background.
NFL news:
The incident occurred around 2 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon, according to TMZ. Stacy left the house before police were called, and the woman went to the hospital as she suffered bumps, bruises and a potential cut in the head.
The woman filed a restraining order against Stacy on Monday with proof of the attack in the video, and it was noted how incredibly calm the woman seemed to stay throughout the brutal beating.
“He punched me several times in the head! I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me,” she said in a restraining order, which was obtained by TMZ. “I fear for my life and my children’s lives.”
