Josh Brown Discusses Domestic Violence Allegations on Good Morning America

Mike ChiariFeb 2, 2017

Former New York Giants kicker Josh Brown addressed domestic violence allegations against him for the first time since his release from the team in a Good Morning America interview that aired Thursday.

Brown said: "I mean, I had put my hands on her [former wife Molly Brown]. I kicked the chair. I held her down. The holding down was the worst moment in our marriage. I never hit her. I never slapped her. I never choked her. I never did those types of things."

Brown said he was "wrong" and "fully accountable" for his actions, adding: "Domestic violence is not just physical abuse. We're talking intimidation and threats, the attempt to control, body language. An abuser is going to abuse to a certain degree to acquire some kind of a reaction."

The Giants released Brown on Oct. 25 when new details surrounding the case emerged. According to Julia Jacobo of ABC News, he said he "physically, verbally and emotionally abused" his former wife and "controlled" her in journal entries.

Brown was initially suspended for New York's season-opening game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but he was allowed to return before new information from his May 22, 2015, domestic violence arrest became available.

Upon releasing Brown, Giants president John Mara expressed regret about how the team handled the situation: "We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Brown, 37, remains unsigned. According to Christian Red and Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the league is still reviewing his case, which means he could face a suspension if another team signs him.
