LeSean McCoy is facing some very serious allegations, but one of his former teammates is confident enough in McCoy’s innocence that he is vehemently defending the star running back.
On Tuesday night, former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito took to Twitter to offer “prayers” for McCoy. He also ripped the alleged victim, McCoy’s ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon, and said she has been living a “fake lifestyle.”
Prayers up for my G @CutonDime25

I support and stand by my boy, Shady. I know the full story and he didn't do it. People can be quick to make false assumptions without knowing the full story.

Agreed. Enough with this fake lifestyle she was living.

She was definitely assaulted. Police were involved. Shady was in Florida and she was in Atlanta.

A photo shared by a friend of the victim on Tuesday claimed to show Cordon bruised and bloodied, and the accompanying description unloaded on McCoy. However, it doesn’t seem that anyone is claiming McCoy inflicted the actual injuries. One of Cordon’s friends claimed in a Facebook post that McCoy sent people to the victim’s house to beat and rob her. According to a report from TMZ, McCoy recently went to a judge in an attempt to have Cordon evicted from a home he owns.
Attorneys for Cordon say she was sleeping at her home when a male assailant entered the house early Tuesday morning and demanded “specific items of jewelry” that she had been given by McCoy. A statement from the legal team also said McCoy previously made remarks to Cordon about wanting the jewelry back and warned that she could be robbed because of how expensive it was.
The issues between McCoy and Cordon go back quite a while, as she publicly accused the Buffalo Bills star of cheating on her last summer. Both the Bills and the NFL are looking into the allegations.
