Phillies' Brett Myers arraigned for allegedly beating wife

[Chocolate Milk]

Not sure if this should be here, rivalries, or social (maybe even Rants).

 

Myers' wife, told police she believed her husband hit her twice in the face with a closed fist. Witnesses told police Myers dragged his wife by the hair and slapped her across the face. Procopio said it is unclear if Myers punched his wife or slapped her, but he did strike her in the face.

 

Courtney Knight, 26, who witnessed the alleged attack, said in an interview today that Myers was out of control.

 

"It was disgusting," Knight said. "He was dragging her by the hair and slapping her across the face. She was yelling, 'I'm not going to let you do this to me anymore.' "

 

The police report says that officers found Wickman crying and with swelling on the left side of her face. The victim bailed Myers out, posting $200 in bail at the South End police station early this morning, Procopio said

This is a really sad situation.

Anger Management. Pretty pathetic that a guy would hit a girl.

He has to because if he tried to do that with someone his own size he'd get his butt kicked. Someone needs a little anger help and how to handle stress if this is true.

Doesn't surprise me actually. Had to approach Myers a few years back when I was doing some work for Baseball America. They were doing a story on him and needed some photos. He wanted to know if I would get paid for taking his photograph. I responded with something like, "Well yeah, it is my job."

 

He said he didn't want anyone making any money off of him and refused to the pictures. It would have taken a max of 2-3 minutes. I told him fine and walked away, after I kind of chuckled right in front of him. Whatever dude, if thats what you want.

Sounds like a lovely person.

 

 

Should have guessed it from those eyebrows.

Maybe not. I thought I had read a few years back he was a former Gold Gloves boxer. Still doesn't make it right what he did though.

I don't know if any of you have heard of a rapper named Murs but...

 

"I know a man's not a man if he has to beat his woman."

 

Amen to that line.
