Evelyn Lozada, Delicia Cordon Deny Involvement in TV Show About Athlete Abuse

Evelyn Lozada and Delicia Cordon have both denied they are among the names attached to a television project about survivors of abuse by athletes.

Earlier Monday, TMZ reported Lozada, Cordon, Josie Harris and Micaela Sanchez were involved in the project and that producers were currently pitching the show and looking for additional women to come forward. 

However, Lozada, who was married to Chad Johnson in 2012, said through her "camp" that she was contacted by producers but turned down the offer. Cordon, through her attorneys, released a statement saying she "has not agreed" to join the project and had not been "contacted to participate," per Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic. 

Lozada and Johnson divorced soon after their marriage, as Johnson was arrested for headbutting her. Johnson pleaded no contest to the charges and did not serve jail time, though he was later briefly incarcerated for violating his parole. 

Cordon filed a lawsuit last year against Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy, claiming he orchestrated an attack and robbery that took place in July. McCoy owns the home Cordon was living at, and she said the attack was planned to get her to move out of the house. Police have found no evidence of McCoy's involvement, and he has denied the allegations.

Floyd Mayweather spent two months in jail in 2012 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery domestic violence charges stemming from what the Associated Press (via ESPN) described as "a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument in September 2010 with [Harris]." Harris previously accused Mayweather of domestic abuse in 2005 but later told police she lied.

The NFL suspended Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith for the first four games of the 2018 season after an investigation showed "threatening and emotionally abusive behaviors by Jimmy toward his former girlfriend that showed a pattern of improper conduct."

Sanchez said Smith had also been physically violent, a claim he denies. 

TMZ says its sources claim "producers still plan on moving forward with the project" despite the rejected offers.
