As new reports are surfacing in regards to Carl Crawford and his recent arrest for alleged domestic violence, his ex-fiancée Evelyn Lozada has decided to come forward. Last week, the 1501 Certified Entertainment CEO was taken into custody after his ex-girlfriend reportedly told police that when she tried to break up with him, he pulled out a firearm and repeatedly bashed her head against a wall while questioning her over an alleged affair with another man.

According to reports, Carl Crawford is facing 10 years in prison for the alleged assault, and because she shares a child with the former Los Angeles Dodgers star, Evelyn Lozada felt the need to speak up. She has openly spoken up about her domestic violence incident with Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, and since Crawford's arrest, Evelyn says that people have been trying to change her narrative.
Evelyn stated emphatically that Crawford never put his hands on her, never intimidated her, and never called her out of her name. However, she also stated that she can't speak on what anyone else has experienced with him. "I will always be empathetic to ANYONE who has experienced any form of domestic violence and in NO WAY would I ever undermine anyone else’s alleged experience. That is their story to tell," the reality star penned in a caption to her video. "However, after numerous calls, tweets, DM’s and bloggers claiming that I’ve said that my ex-fiancé, Carl Crawford, intimidated or physically hurt me, I felt I had to speak regarding my relationship with Carl."
"The Carl I’m hearing about lately is not the Carl I personally know. During our 4 Year engagement & while co-parenting our son, Carl has never been violent or threatening. We have a positive relationship," Evelyn Lozada continued. "Again, I take the time to speak on this for my son, who I never want to grow up and feel as if his father hurt his mother in any way. I also do this because I won’t allow bloggers looking for clicks to manipulate MY story and take away from those women who need their true stories heard. There is NO story here and I have no additional comments." Watch her video below.

Evelyn Lozada Dismisses Marriage To Chad Ochocinco, Says Next Will Be Her First
Welp. There’s that.
Reality star Evelyn Lozada recently declared she’d turned over a new leaf, got baptized, and was done with premarital sex. The longtime Basketball Wives cast member has seen her fair share of scandals over the years, but Evelyn may be retiring from the series now that she’s entering into a new phase of her life.

She revealed that she’s no longer single, although there was no information shared as to who her new beau may be. When asked if she would be returning to Basketball Wives LA next season, she replied, “Most likely no.” Evelyn has left the series before only to return years later, so her participation is always questionable.
Another person asked about her ex-husband Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. “Do you ever miss Chad?… it honestly seems like he used to make you laugh all the time.” Evelyn replied, “The crying outweighed the laughter & no everyone has moved on.” Despite her unlucky romances, Evelyn also said she’s open to being married again. “Yes!!! This would be my first!” she stated. “Not sure what that other BS was.” Check out just a few of her Q&A clips below.
Chad Johnson Confirms Kicker Tryout With XFL’s Houston Roughnecks
Ochocinco looking to join the XFL as a kicker.
Former NFL star Chad Johnson is hoping to add a new chapter to his football career, this time as a kicker in the XFL. The man known as Ochocinco took to twitter on Tuesday morning to reveal that he has officially lined up a tryout with the Houston Roughnecks on Monday, January 20.
Writes Johnson, "The opportunity to kick in the XFL has presented itself, i must tryout Monday in Houston, I’m excited as hell & I’m sure all will go well." The 42-year old even has dreams of turning this potential XFL gig into an opportunity with an NFL team.
"Pretty far fetched but imagine me being consistent during an XFL season & getting a chance at a 53 man roster in the NFL, even i don’t make it just being able to compete for a spot at a entirely different position will be so riveting."
We all know that Ochocinco made a name for himself as one of the league's top wide receivers in the 2000s, but he also displayed his kicking ability during a 2009 pre-season game, during which he connected on an extra point and kicked off for the Bengals. Of course, if Johnson does make the Roughnecks roster he won't be kicking any extra points because they simply don't exist in the XFL (click here for more on the XFL's unique rule book).
As seen in the IG post embedded below, Johnson has the leg power to put one through the uprights from distance as well.
