Earlier on Thursday, Rams RB Steven Jackson was accused of physically assaulting his then girlfriend, who was nine months pregnant with their son. Jackson has now come out and denied those allegations in a statement to TMZ.
Steven Jackson: Accusations Against Him Are ‘Untrue’
“It’s disheartening that I have to address any alleged allegations 10 months later, but I have read the accusations made by Supriya Harris, and they are untrue. The accusations are especially hurtful because those who truly know me know that those actions would be out of character for me.”
Jackson acknowledged that Harris is the mother of his son, and described the boy as “a son that I love and that I willingly support emotionally and financially.”
He concluded, “I will address this matter thoroughly through the appropriate avenues, but not through the media.”
Jackson has not been arrested or charged.
Meanwhile, the Rams are acknowledging it, saying they are “aware” of the police report. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo issued the following statement: “We are aware of the situation involving Steven Jackson. We are in the process of gathering information. We are always concerned with issues involving our players.”
