The Dallas Cowboys reportedly believe the woman who has accused Ezekiel Elliott of assaulting her is not telling the truth.
A woman who claims to have lived with Elliot while the two were dating told police in Columbus on Friday that the former Ohio State star assaulted her while she was sitting in the driver’s seat of her parked vehicle. According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Cowboys officials believe she is lying.

Hill also heard from a source that the alleged victim threatened to “ruin” Elliott after he broke up with her.

Elliot denied the allegations when contacted by police, and four witnesses reportedly claimed they did not see an assault take place. The woman who says Elliott hit her shared some photos on social media Friday morning showing various injuries she claims to have sustained while being abused over the past several months.

The NFL has already said it will investigate the matter. No charges have been filed against Elliot.
