Ex-NFL player Zac Stacy has been released from jail after violently beating the mother of his child in a now-viral home video.
Stacy’s ex-girlfriend, Kristin Evans, is urging a judge to reconsider the former New York Jets running back’s release. On Friday, he posted a $10,000 bond after being arrested at the Orlando International Airport a day earlier. The 30-year-old has been charged with aggravated assault and criminal mischief.
The arrest came after Evans shared disturbing footage of Stacy throwing her into a television and brutally punching and slamming her in front of their 5-month-old son. Evans says that the beating was just one of many, beginning while she was pregnant. The woman says she didn’t report it at the time because she wanted to keep her family together. However, the vicious assaults became too much to bear. Before this latest incident, she’d called police at least twice and had filed a restraining order against him recently.
“It’s overwhelming to think back. I loved this man, and we had life plans together,” she explained,
Evans also responded to fans of Stacy’s, who blamed her for somehow instigating the abuse.
“I did nothing. I never did anything to deserve something like this. No one could do anything to deserve something like this.”
Evans’s lawyers will be filing an emergency motion to reverse Stacy’s bond release and have him held on a higher bond. They are also hoping that a judge will place him on an ankle monitor, as Evans has expressed that she does not feel safe with Stacy being free. He has been ordered to have no contact with her or her family.
