Haynesworth, a former Tennessee and NFL star, outlined his allegations in a series of tweets from his personal Twitter account Wednesday. Haynesworth was in a two-year relationship with Brittany Jackson, a former women’s basketball player for the Lady Vols. The pair also have a son, Aiden.
Haynesworth said that Jackson regularly used racial epithets and physically abused him while they were dating.

A police report obtained by TMZ Sports cites one incident where Jackson allegedly kicked Haynesworth in the groin twice after they got into an argument at a friend’s house. Jackson had allegedly been drinking wine prior to the argument, according to Haynesworth’s statement in the police report. Despite his assertion, Haynesworth didn’t elect to pursue charges against Jackson.
In addition to his domestic violence claims, Haynesworth alleged Jackson committed fraud, keeping money that was supposed to go to charitable donations that fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Jackson has yet to respond to the allegations as of Wednesday afternoon.
