Early this week Mychelle Johnson said she and Bridges got into an argument that escalated into something violent; police were called to their house, although Miles was not at the house when they arrived, he turned himself to the police the following day; he was released on $130,000 bond.
Mychelle’s hospital report showed she was described as an adult victim by male partner; her injuries included brain concussion, closed fracture, nasal bone, strangulation, multiple bruises, neck muscle strain, and contusion of rib. Johnson who not only posted the hospital report on Instagram also showed photos of her injuries.
“I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore,” Johnson wrote in the post that has since been deleted. “I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life. I have nothing to prove to the world; but I won’t allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I’m not.
“I won’t allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person. It’s unethical, it’s immoral, it’s truly SICK. It hurts my heart because I’ve always had hope; and so much love and as scary as this is for me to do it’s time I stand up for myself.
“I won’t be silent to protect others anymore because I value myself and my kids more than anyones ‘image’.… a fracture nose, wrist, torn eardrum, torn muscles in my neck from being choked until I went to sleep and a severe concussion.
“I don’t need sympathy, I just don’t want this happening to anyone else, I just want this person to get help, my kids deserve better. That’s all I want. It hurts, everything hurts, this situation hurts; most importantly I’m scared and hurting for my kids who were witness to everything. Please respect my families privacy and stop with the disgusting rumors and allegations.”
