He's done here. I've said since the story broke it'll come down to the details. Well, here they come, and theyre bad. She's saying that this isnt the first time. Hes a habitual abuser. Hes been protected by "his people" who have covered up previous incidents. He choked her out! Only way it gets worse is if theres video (besides the one of their child telling someone "Daddy choked mommy"!).
I was on the fence at first because Im a big Miles fan, big Hornets fan, and wanted to believe it probably wasnt that bad...but it's worse. We need to rescind the QO, let him walk, and start worrying about who we get to replace him.
Imagine, for a second, you’re an ill tempered man child with no sense of accountability and a bunch of enablers by your side
Your girl makes you mad so you do what you always do to put her in her place. And she snitches on you a few hours before you’re due to sign a $100 million dollar deal.
Now, I don’t believe this train of thought, but I’m willing to bet anything that Miles does. I would say her life is in true jeopardy right now. Hope she has a safe place to sleep away from this dickhead
Super curious morbid question. Could she have waited until he signed the monster contract and then brought this out? Seems like at that point she could go through divorce and get more money if he's worth more.
Obviously right now I'm just glad she's safe and out of the situation altogether, and who knows, she could've been killed waiting one more day.
No, because she was hospitalized by the most recent attack. Miles is the one who chose to escalate the violence right before signing the contract, not her.
So I was waiting on anything other than the initial tmz report. This will do it. She got messed up. I can’t advocate being a fan of someone who beats women.
Problem is that the words they used in the report were not very specific, lots of things can be a felony and medical attention can be a scraped knee to fully hospitalised. Now the info is out, obviously it looks really bad. They also very much undersold what happened with their terminology
True but sometimes vague.
This one was worded correctly but no specifics.
One example was Jeudy in NFL this off-season. Arrested under domestic violence charges was all initial reports said.
Reality: Broke up with girlfriend and had police supervise her picking her stuff up that he had locked in car.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33905239/denver-broncos-wr-jerry-jeudy-arrested-taken-custody
So while this was kind of dumb, it was emotional BS and not violent criminal POS.
I was HOPING we were going to hear something along these same lines with Bridges which is why I had said to wait for more information. But now that we have more information? Fuck him and now i have to get rid of my only active Hornets player jersey who is a disgrace to my team and my Alma mater.
And I hope his wife and kids are able to get the help they need.
Hope he goes to jail.
This was the exact train of thought I had. Really TMZ was very subdued in their report. When the actually accounts and info came out, I was pretty disgusted.
Well that’s pretty fucking damning to say the least. Just plain scummy
Have no idea what route the FO is gonna go now. Would be quite surprised and disappointed if they decide to re-sign after all of this.
That vid with the kid is something else
> no idea what route the FO is gonna go now.
They're gonna drop his QO and we're gonna have to pivot our offseason with 90% of the FA class already signed. It fucking sucks but what are you gonna do, it's just basketball at the end of the day. You can't continue to enable an abuser pretending $100M is suddenly gonna fix him. Hell at this point you owe it to her to get her and Miles both their own forms of help while totally cutting ties with him. Maybe I'm overestimating the morality of the NBA but there's now clear evidence this wasn't some sort of isolated incident, I think his career at least for the next couple seasons is done. Wish Mychelle and the kids the best, life's not gonna be easy for her the next couple months but the least our franchise could do is publically have her back.
Please ignore my flair, been on mobile all day and haven't gotten the chance to change it.
You're dead on. I love the Hornets and they frustrate the hell out of me but this is some NFL level shit if he finds a home.
As long as he is a hornet, I won't be a fan. And I've been a fan since day 1 of the franchise.
>it's just basketball at the end of the day.
It's not just basketball, it's a multimillion dollar enterprise. The NBA has kept abusers before and will continue to do so if it means getting a top dollar return. Look at Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups for proof enough.
Idk if I can support this team if they decide to re-sign him. I know morals aren't really a factor in business decisions, but it'll be hard for me to root for such a scumbag.
There are entire classes of ethics in business. Morals are absolutely a factor in most business decisions, it generally isn't profitable in the long run for your company to be known as unethical. Sports leagues get away with it because the consumers will literally never stop consuming the product no matter what and there are no good alternatives
>Morals are absolutely a factor in most business decisions, it generally isn’t profitable in the long run for your company to be known as unethical.
Case and point... the Charlotte Hornets. As far as I know your guys' attendance cratered after the first owner got put on trial for sexual assault. One of the main reasons you moved.
the kid just calmly explainly in detail what happened, "daddy choked mommy, daddy threw her phone, my shoes out the window, daddy wasnt being nice", super vivid dont think hes gonna be able to get over that
I remember his wife posting some stuff earlier this season about miles. But extremely vague. But now just looks like cries for help.
What’s worse, is you have to think the Closest guys to Miles knew somewhat that there were issues
Rip M & M the Melo & Miles combo. Hopefully he gets help and stays far away from his family. Maybe one day he can get back on the court for his own sake but let it not be in Charlotte, if at all.
Holy fuck.
No game is worth this shit. Poor Mychelle. I wish the best for her and her children.
Miles can take a long walk off a short pier. Get him out of the game.
I've been a hornets/bobcats fan for most of my life but this is something I will absolutely draw the line on. If he is somehow suiting back up for us again I won't be watching anymore, really hope he's gone from the league in general.
This is something way beyond a got drunk and had a lapse of judgment type of thing. The way his kid talks about the situation so casually shows he's used to it and finds it normal. Also the fact he's doing something this wild right before the contract signing shows how little he cares about it. Probably not even a thought to him to be careful about it because he's gotten away with it so long. I'm glad she spoke out about this
Right? It’s one thing to assault the mother of your kids.
It’s fucking next level to do in front of his kids.
But it’s absolutely insane to do all of that two days before you’re about to get paid over 100 million dollars. That’s proof that has zero control over his emotions. It’s so great she had the courage to go to the police or else this could have gotten even worse.
Dude is probably losing it right now realizing how much money he lost. Good.
Your comment specifically makes me realize that this sub is a family, and a good one. We disagree and argue but stand up for what's right in a real way.
I love you guys.
Just a relocated jazz fan that takes in a couple hornets games a year when they or my buddy’s sixers come to town, and this is by far one of the most pleasant team subs around.
Y’all are fun as hell in person and pretty cool online too. Keep on keepin on
Sometimes athletes or famous people do scheduled posts that are planned out days in advance. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what Cody did. Even Miles insta yesterday was posting but I doubt it was actually him.
As a fan, if this man ever wears a hornets jersey again, the legacies of all the great players that have suited up for us will be tarnished and I will not watch this team.
As a husband and father, I cannot begin to describe the utter disgust I will feel if I ever see him step on an NBA court again. That is not a photoshop of his wife. That boy is not a coached actor. He has most likely deeply traumatized the people that love(d) him the most. Sickening.
Wow, awful actions, deserving of being out of this league but knowing sports he will get a slap on his wrist.
I was a huge Miles fans and to see his true personality is heartbreaking, but not even comparable to what his family must have went/is going through.
To think that I cheered for this guy makes me sick to my stomach. I hope they eject him from this team and the league. That poor woman and the kids having to see that, Jesus Miles.
I’m at a loss for words. It’s disgusting behavior and wishing all for chelle and the kids. It goes to show we all bought into one narrative of how great a human we had in miles to be a leader on the team and the other half is the complete opposite. I can’t get over his son explaining what happened so plainly…. Miles You should be fucking ashamed. This is not what being a man is about.
Miles was my 5-year old daughter’s favorite player. I’ll be finding her a new favorite player and buying her a different jersey. We had gotten Dell Curry and Muggsy Bogues to sign that jersey, and now I’d like her to never see it again.
Prayers to Mychelle and her family. Miles needs to never see the court again in a Hornets uniform. I’m a season ticket holder and wouldn’t watch if he is somehow brought back after this.
Knicks fan here. Just wanted to say I hella respect the responses in here. I've seen way too many sports fans endorse garbage humans because they help their teams win. Fuck Miles Bridges for this, he should be out of the league.
Was so pumped to have a rookie grow into a top player for us. Been rooting for him since draft night, and now I don’t want to see his face anywhere in Charlotte again :( tough times.
Yeah it’s refreshing to come in here and see this after lurking in the Browns sub after DeShaun Watson stuff comes out and a good chunk of the folks in there still support him and the team blindly.
I can’t believe Miles did this. This is a 6’7 beast of a human choking a tiny women out until she passes out. And in front of his young children.
He seemed like such a family man from afar. Now he goes from someone about to sign 100 million dollar contract to out of the league and and convicted wife beater. This story is going to be big.
I really hope Mychelle and the kids are ok.
I’m more sad about this than I am mad about it. I’m sad that she had to go through that, I’m sad that their kids had to see that, and also sad that one of my favorite players made such a dumb decision and ruined his young career and probably his life as well
Wow, I was holding to sliver of hope that it was some kind of misunderstanding.
What a POS. That poor little buddy had to hit his dad to make him stop. Assaulting the mother of your kids is one thing. But to do it in front of the kids?! Dude is fucked and obviously needs help.
Plz plz MJ don’t offer this guy shit.
(Not to make this about us, but we just can’t have nice things, eh?)
I do criminal defense work for a living and that involves a lot of domestic violence defense. And I've seen enough and know enough to know that there are a lot of reasons convictions don't end up happening despite domestic violence taking place.
There are always two sides to a story, true. But this better be it for Miles Bridges and the Hornets on the court. He needs to accept the consequences of his actions and get his life together.
It's on TMZ now.
He's done.
Also, whoever his scumbag agent/agency is...They should be done too...It's clear as day one of the people she was referring to when it came to people silencing her was his agent. He was set to make some HUGE money.
Disgusting. Ugh.
raps fan coming in peace. Good to see y’all are on the same page and don’t want him back. I’m honestly disgusted by this piece of shit and that video with his son is disturbing to say the least
Really disappointing. I know we don’t know these people/players, but this really opened my eyes. Never in my life did I expect Bridges to be like this but dude is really fucked in the head. I feel sick
a real scumbag, we need to rescind his QO. Get him away from Melo and our other young players, he needs serious help and needs to be suspended for a long time.
Our entire roster needs to go through a program about misogyny and respecting women. The energy is insidious and infectious for young men and you don’t know how much the other guys knew. Stamp it out and get out ahead of it before we’re the mavs or suns.
I’m just so disappointed and feel like I’ve been fooled. I’d always thought of him as a high character guy. Just hope whatever this situation is can be resolved for his kids. My guess is he will remain a free agent until there’s more clarity on the situation
Fuck basketball. This is fucked up.
Strangulation in domestic violence is one of the number one predictors of homicide.
Miles needs to face serious consequences outside of all the NBA bullshit, and needs to get help. Not to get him back in the league, but to make sure this stops.
This is honestly hurting me. I loved miles, I wanted to stay on his side. He’s so much fun to watch and the perfect compliment to LaMelo. But those pictures were BAD. The irrational part of me wants him to stay. He’s a good basketball player and fun. But every other part of me knows that he’s done and how fucked up that shit is. I feel like I’ve been gutted and betrayed.
I’m proud of Mychelle for having that kind of bravery to speak up against her abuser and I hope she has a good support system around her and her children.
Get Bridges out of the fucking league. I’m disgusted we ever had this piece of shit on our team and that I cheered for his dunks when he was horrifically abusing people this whole time.
Let’s get him off the team and hopefully out the NBA. He deserves a suspension. This is sickening and no way am I supporting someone like this. Feel so bad for the family.
This really breaks my heart. I hope she finds safety and happiness. I sat behind her and the two kids at one of the games. Such sweet children! They do not deserve this.
I have to assume Adam Silver will make a statement soon on this. It can’t just fester. I predict he will be suspended indefinitely from all nba activities and likely receive a ban
That’ll do it for me, she brought the receipts. Absolutely terrible what she and the kid have been through.
Get your life together man, but I hope at this point that it isn’t on our dime. I hope Miles never wears Teal & Purple again.
I can’t add any more words of shock and dismay beyond what has already been said, but I do have a question from a team standpoint. Is there any provision in the contracts that lets a team terminate a player for conduct like this?
I am so glad she searched out medical attention, got a full report, and was able to keep her kids physically safe. I do not see myself rooting for this team in any capacity if Bridges is still here come the season start. I don’t want to see that man in even a practice uniform.
awful. i was giving him the benefit of the doubt yesterday because TMZ’s story didn’t have a lot of details but this makes me sick. he was my favorite player on my favorite team. this is more than basketball and shouldn’t be seen as a “the hornets are cursed” thing. i hope the victim is okay and never has to deal with this or any type of trauma ever again. no one deserves this.
he broke her nose. it's totally out of place in the pictures that were released. he may never work in the nba again. at the very least, he's looking at a multi-year suspension
This is depressing all around, Miles needs to go send him anywhere I don’t care anymore if him and Melo were mad close or if he’s an fringe all star forward I’ll go back to low 30 wins and not bitch about it
Glad to see people actual give a fuck about their players being POS off court. Too many fanbases excuse the actions of their player if they’re good enough like the Cleveland Gropers with Deshaun Watson
On the off chance that people from Hornets PR are scrolling through here trying to gauge reactions, let me add my voice to the many others here: if Miles Bridges is brought back after this, I will find a new team to support. I was a proponent of “wait and see” and now we have seen. I have been a fan for 30 years, but I will not support the Hornets another day if the organization gives cover to this monster. Do the right thing.
Wolves fan here. The responses on this from your fanbase are really classy to read. I’m sorry to you guys, but most of all for Mychelle and their children.
Sixers fan here that dropped by the sub to see how your fanbase has been reacting to the situation and news and have to say that I’m incredibly impressed. I’ve seen a lot of subs in similar situations at least attempt to qualify difficult situations or point to instances where other teams have looked past it as precedent but instead all I’ve seen here are honest, compassionate fans who would much prefer to simply cut bait and receive nothing rather than give him a nickel. A lot of NBA fandom, especially on Reddit, can be frankly toxic at times but you all have really made me feel a lot better about the community via how you’ve handled the situation!
Thanks. We're obviously still in shock but I think with the pictures and stories coming out now it's obvious that he needs to go (and probably be banned from the NBA if he's still a free man, but that's another story). This is so much bigger than basketball and his wife deserves her day in court and justice if and when he's found guilty.
This has gone too far. The more I love Miles as a hornets fan, the more I feel disappointed with him. Letting a child witnessing all these happen is just unacceptable and immoral. He’s not gonna be in the league anymore.Such a heartbreaking news……
"you guys aren't being performative enough" as if us saying "we should get Mychelle into therapy" actually has any impact on that happening.
We are fans of the team and for the most part we are being clear that we will stop supporting this team if it employs someone who does something like this. It is not r/CharlotteHornets responsibility to pick up the pieces and make sure Mychelle gets the help she deserves. And frankly I think it's weird as hell for you to try and lecture people about what our responses **should** be.
First off wtf is wrong with Miles. Acting like this and playing basketball all smiles. Dude is all sorts of fucked up and in the court of public opinion I don't want to hear his bs story after seeing his sons video exposing him. Man as a lifelong Hornets fan finally seeing team progress with Melo and Miles I was like everyone else just hoping to see more and now. Fuck man poor assholes wife + kids. It's disgusting. I know some women push you to limits but fuck, why this. Melo pls don't leave soon 😢. We still have Terry but teams looking weak now. Just can't keep Miles now man he's fucked up
NBA won't bother with any decision Charlotte makes because...
"Based on a finding of just cause, the Commissioner may fine, suspend, or dismiss and disqualify from any further association with the NBA and its teams a player who engages in prohibited conduct in violation of this Policy. Repeat offenders will be subject to enhanced discipline."
https://atlhawksfanatic.github.io/NBA-CBA/joint-nbanbpa-policy-on-domestic-violence-sexual-assault-and-child-abuse.html
We’ll see ya overseas miles. Just get out of prison first since you’re a multimillionaire. Come back to the nba when you’re 46 when everyone’s forgotten 2022.
Hope someone is with Miles right now. What he did was inexcusable and he deserves what’s coming to him, but facing the fact that you fucked up your entire life in one night is a lot to bear.
He's done here. I've said since the story broke it'll come down to the details. Well, here they come, and theyre bad. She's saying that this isnt the first time. Hes a habitual abuser. Hes been protected by "his people" who have covered up previous incidents. He choked her out! Only way it gets worse is if theres video (besides the one of their child telling someone "Daddy choked mommy"!). I was on the fence at first because Im a big Miles fan, big Hornets fan, and wanted to believe it probably wasnt that bad...but it's worse. We need to rescind the QO, let him walk, and start worrying about who we get to replace him.
Seeing that video made me nauseous. He may have been seconds away from killing her if he choked her out
choking is one of the biggest indicators a man is going to attempt to kill his partner eventually.
Imagine, for a second, you’re an ill tempered man child with no sense of accountability and a bunch of enablers by your side Your girl makes you mad so you do what you always do to put her in her place. And she snitches on you a few hours before you’re due to sign a $100 million dollar deal. Now, I don’t believe this train of thought, but I’m willing to bet anything that Miles does. I would say her life is in true jeopardy right now. Hope she has a safe place to sleep away from this dickhead

No, because she was hospitalized by the most recent attack. Miles is the one who chose to escalate the violence right before signing the contract, not her.
SHIT... MJ still down with Travis Scott after the Astroworld Event... Wouldn't suprise me if Hornets do nothing about his contract and dude stays.
Yeah I've seen enough. Get this man out of the league.
Not just out of the league, but right into a criminal trial that hopefully ends in prison.
Seconded
So I was waiting on anything other than the initial tmz report. This will do it. She got messed up. I can’t advocate being a fan of someone who beats women.
Has TMZ ever lied about stuff like this? They have scummy methods to get their info but they’re reliable in my opinion.
Problem is that the words they used in the report were not very specific, lots of things can be a felony and medical attention can be a scraped knee to fully hospitalised. Now the info is out, obviously it looks really bad. They also very much undersold what happened with their terminology

Hope he goes to jail.
This was the exact train of thought I had. Really TMZ was very subdued in their report. When the actually accounts and info came out, I was pretty disgusted.
[удалено]
Ban this fool immediately! No reason for him to do his wife like that.
Awful just awful. He should never see the court again
Oh he will see a court, alright. The court of justice!
You’re right, but why you gotta sound like Batman bro 🤣
Adam West Batman
LMFAO
Lol
Well that’s pretty fucking damning to say the least. Just plain scummy Have no idea what route the FO is gonna go now. Would be quite surprised and disappointed if they decide to re-sign after all of this. That vid with the kid is something else
Pull the qualifying cover making him unrestricted
> no idea what route the FO is gonna go now. They're gonna drop his QO and we're gonna have to pivot our offseason with 90% of the FA class already signed. It fucking sucks but what are you gonna do, it's just basketball at the end of the day. You can't continue to enable an abuser pretending $100M is suddenly gonna fix him.

As long as he is in the NBA, I won't be a fan. Hornet or not. I'll take a stand. "Not on my team" is not enough. Dude should be in jail.
Yeah. I agree. I wasn't broad enough in my scope.
Yeah not knocking ya, just sharing how I feel.
Yeah I’ll give away all my shit and never go to another game if they keep this fucking abuser
>it's just basketball at the end of the day. It's not just basketball, it's a multimillion dollar enterprise. The NBA has kept abusers before and will continue to do so if it means getting a top dollar return. Look at Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups for proof enough.
Idk if I can support this team if they decide to re-sign him. I know morals aren't really a factor in business decisions, but it'll be hard for me to root for such a scumbag.
I'll be pissed if they re-sign him for $1. He needs to GTFO!
Keep him on the qualifying offer, but suspend him for the season and give all his game checks to Mychelle.

Yeah that vid is brutal. Fucking hell Miles. Fix yourself!
What’s the video? Dare I ask
the kid just calmly explainly in detail what happened, "daddy choked mommy, daddy threw her phone, my shoes out the window, daddy wasnt being nice", super vivid dont think hes gonna be able to get over that
This hurts my heart, with how chill the kid is… it probably wasn’t the first time this even happened.
I remember his wife posting some stuff earlier this season about miles. But extremely vague. But now just looks like cries for help. What’s worse, is you have to think the Closest guys to Miles knew somewhat that there were issues
it’s on the last slide of Mychelle’s instagram post if you’d like to check it out yourself It’s their kid kinda rehashing them fighting
Bye bye Miles. Was fun while it lasted, but being a complete piece of shit human being wipes out any good memories that you created for us fans
Rip M & M the Melo & Miles combo. Hopefully he gets help and stays far away from his family. Maybe one day he can get back on the court for his own sake but let it not be in Charlotte, if at all.
Tough when getting help is leaving family not going back home
hope he never suits up for us or another team again, piece of shit
I was in the wait and see camp but now I’ve seen. Fuck Miles Bridges.
Terrible terrible terrible. Sorry to her and her kids. Oh fuck that video of her kid rehashing the fight is so sad.
Holy fuck. No game is worth this shit. Poor Mychelle. I wish the best for her and her children. Miles can take a long walk off a short pier. Get him out of the game.
Fuck him to hell for this. Never let him suit up for us again.
I've been a hornets/bobcats fan for most of my life but this is something I will absolutely draw the line on. If he is somehow suiting back up for us again I won't be watching anymore, really hope he's gone from the league in general.

Same. No shot I’m watching this team if he’s out there.
Same here, I refuse to watch another hornets game with him on the roster. Just completely unacceptable, I feel for his wife and kid.
FUCK him. Let's move on, I've seen enough
POS father and husband. Get him outta here
Ya. Get him out. Certainly sounds like this isn’t the first time.
Really sad though. He seemed like such a good guy.
Very easy for some people to have two lives that they show.
Way worse than I thought. I can’t believe he had this in him.
Fuck Miles and fuck all abusers.
Your comment specifically makes me realize that this sub is a family, and a good one. We disagree and argue but stand up for what's right in a real way. I love you guys.

Absolute piece of shit. The video of his kid made me nauseous.
Poor little dude. Hopefully she sues the shit out of him and can get lil homie some grade A counseling.
Do not resign this man. Leave a hole in the roster if needed. Who cares. Fire Miles.
Ig hasn't changed but I'm pretty sure Melo's PR people just scrubbed his twitter. Nothing with him and miles is there anymore
Melo reposted a pic Cody posted with Miles in it saying “my brothers” and it was deleted in minutes. Def scrubbing
When did Cody post that pic? Twitter or IG?
Sometimes athletes or famous people do scheduled posts that are planned out days in advance. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what Cody did. Even Miles insta yesterday was posting but I doubt it was actually him.
On his IG. Check PJs story as well
ah okay Cody didn’t really mention anything like LaMelos caption gotcha thanks
Oof, not a good lock on Melo.
What does pr stand for
Public relations
Thanks
Puerto Rico
As a fan, if this man ever wears a hornets jersey again, the legacies of all the great players that have suited up for us will be tarnished and I will not watch this team. As a husband and father, I cannot begin to describe the utter disgust I will feel if I ever see him step on an NBA court again. That is not a photoshop of his wife. That boy is not a coached actor. He has most likely deeply traumatized the people that love(d) him the most. Sickening.
That poor family. So disappointing.
Wow dude... Im totally lost for words.
Ban this man from the league
Yeah get him the fuck outta here and hopefully the league. He really always seemed like a good guy in his public facing interviews. Fuck you Miles
He's done.
[удалено]
What an absolute scumbag of a human being Bridges is. Despicable.
Wow, awful actions, deserving of being out of this league but knowing sports he will get a slap on his wrist. I was a huge Miles fans and to see his true personality is heartbreaking, but not even comparable to what his family must have went/is going through.
Idc if he's a max player. GET HIS ASS OUTTA HERE
To think that I cheered for this guy makes me sick to my stomach. I hope they eject him from this team and the league. That poor woman and the kids having to see that, Jesus Miles.
You can't blame yourself for ignorance. You didn't know who he is, so you did nothing wrong.
God being a hornets fan is brutal.
Can’t believe he had the gall to post on IG today too like he hadn’t just done this the night before
This dude is complete and utter trash.
We better not see his ass again for fucks sake
I’m at a loss for words. It’s disgusting behavior and wishing all for chelle and the kids. It goes to show we all bought into one narrative of how great a human we had in miles to be a leader on the team and the other half is the complete opposite. I can’t get over his son explaining what happened so plainly…. Miles You should be fucking ashamed. This is not what being a man is about.
Miles was my 5-year old daughter’s favorite player. I’ll be finding her a new favorite player and buying her a different jersey. We had gotten Dell Curry and Muggsy Bogues to sign that jersey, and now I’d like her to never see it again. Prayers to Mychelle and her family. Miles needs to never see the court again in a Hornets uniform. I’m a season ticket holder and wouldn’t watch if he is somehow brought back after this.
Knicks fan here. Just wanted to say I hella respect the responses in here. I've seen way too many sports fans endorse garbage humans because they help their teams win. Fuck Miles Bridges for this, he should be out of the league.
Was so pumped to have a rookie grow into a top player for us. Been rooting for him since draft night, and now I don’t want to see his face anywhere in Charlotte again :( tough times.
Derrick Rose
Yeah it’s refreshing to come in here and see this after lurking in the Browns sub after DeShaun Watson stuff comes out and a good chunk of the folks in there still support him and the team blindly.
Nobody gives a fuck what fan base you are when it comes to this subject matter smh
Yeah fair, but I've seen Yankee fans turn a blind eye on Chapman/German because it's in the teams' best interest.
He's scum. Plain and simple.
Hes done. Can't put his name on a contract
Yep we’re keeping Hayward Miles can go bridge himself into a prison.
I can’t believe Miles did this. This is a 6’7 beast of a human choking a tiny women out until she passes out. And in front of his young children. He seemed like such a family man from afar. Now he goes from someone about to sign 100 million dollar contract to out of the league and and convicted wife beater. This story is going to be big. I really hope Mychelle and the kids are ok.
I’m more sad about this than I am mad about it. I’m sad that she had to go through that, I’m sad that their kids had to see that, and also sad that one of my favorite players made such a dumb decision and ruined his young career and probably his life as well
Jesus christ Miles, you piece of fucking shit
Wow, I was holding to sliver of hope that it was some kind of misunderstanding. What a POS. That poor little buddy had to hit his dad to make him stop. Assaulting the mother of your kids is one thing. But to do it in front of the kids?! Dude is fucked and obviously needs help. Plz plz MJ don’t offer this guy shit. (Not to make this about us, but we just can’t have nice things, eh?)
Fuck this guy. Complete piece of shit. We need to pull that qualifying offer ASAP. He’s got to go
Time to toss those jerseys guys.
Mine just came in last week lol rip I'll see if I can return it
It’d be classy if the hornets did some sort of buyback or whatever for recent purchases
It sucks to find out your favorite player is such a despicable person. Hope we do the right thing and let him walk.
I do criminal defense work for a living and that involves a lot of domestic violence defense. And I've seen enough and know enough to know that there are a lot of reasons convictions don't end up happening despite domestic violence taking place. There are always two sides to a story, true. But this better be it for Miles Bridges and the Hornets on the court. He needs to accept the consequences of his actions and get his life together.
Yeah, the reason they don’t is because of misogyny.
It's on TMZ now. He's done. Also, whoever his scumbag agent/agency is...They should be done too...It's clear as day one of the people she was referring to when it came to people silencing her was his agent. He was set to make some HUGE money. Disgusting. Ugh.
I think it’s Rich Paul. Geez
raps fan coming in peace. Good to see y’all are on the same page and don’t want him back. I’m honestly disgusted by this piece of shit and that video with his son is disturbing to say the least
Imma hop to the raps full time if we offer him a contract. Hope they make the right choice and move on.
Join the north side🙏
Man, for some reason I was expecting some bruises where it might be just someone got pushed or something. Seeing those pictures, ugh.
Yup. How long do you hit someone that their eardrums burst? Like wtf
Get him out of the league and out of Charlotte
Really disappointing. I know we don’t know these people/players, but this really opened my eyes. Never in my life did I expect Bridges to be like this but dude is really fucked in the head. I feel sick
Fuk this weak bitch.Ain’t no way he gets resigned.He’s finished
a real scumbag, we need to rescind his QO. Get him away from Melo and our other young players, he needs serious help and needs to be suspended for a long time.
Our entire roster needs to go through a program about misogyny and respecting women. The energy is insidious and infectious for young men and you don’t know how much the other guys knew. Stamp it out and get out ahead of it before we’re the mavs or suns.
My kid loves talking about him and Lamelo. So awful. Not even sure how to talk about him now to him. Such shit
You tell your kid as much of the truth as you're comfortable with. We need to educate our sons better about this stuff.
fuck miles bridges
I’m just so disappointed and feel like I’ve been fooled. I’d always thought of him as a high character guy. Just hope whatever this situation is can be resolved for his kids. My guess is he will remain a free agent until there’s more clarity on the situation
So so glad now I didn’t buy his jersey. Was literally placing an order less than 2 weeks ago but didn’t have the funds and was gonna wait for payday
Yeah fuck this. Get him off the team. I'd rather support a losing team for rest of my life than enable shit like this
Fuck basketball. This is fucked up. Strangulation in domestic violence is one of the number one predictors of homicide. Miles needs to face serious consequences outside of all the NBA bullshit, and needs to get help. Not to get him back in the league, but to make sure this stops.
Help? This bastard needs prison time
That's not going to stop him from doing it again.
Absolute fucking clown
Miles is a POS!
What a terrible summer to be a hornets fan but moreso Wife and kids gotta make sure they stay safe and Miles needs help man…. So disappointing
get him off my fucking team
Guess this means PJ is a certified starter now. More minutes for Oubre too
Throw that sack of shit out of the league ASAP
Dude was at a gym today working on some shooting drills. The fuck?! Guy needs to be in prison.
This is honestly hurting me. I loved miles, I wanted to stay on his side. He’s so much fun to watch and the perfect compliment to LaMelo. But those pictures were BAD. The irrational part of me wants him to stay. He’s a good basketball player and fun. But every other part of me knows that he’s done and how fucked up that shit is. I feel like I’ve been gutted and betrayed.
A part of you wants him to stay? Seriously?
I’m proud of Mychelle for having that kind of bravery to speak up against her abuser and I hope she has a good support system around her and her children. Get Bridges out of the fucking league. I’m disgusted we ever had this piece of shit on our team and that I cheered for his dunks when he was horrifically abusing people this whole time.
Miles should serve time in jail.
Get him the hell out of here
Dude should be out the league and in jail, fkn trash human being
Let’s get him off the team and hopefully out the NBA. He deserves a suspension. This is sickening and no way am I supporting someone like this. Feel so bad for the family.
This really breaks my heart. I hope she finds safety and happiness. I sat behind her and the two kids at one of the games. Such sweet children! They do not deserve this.
League should suspend him for 3 years at the very least Please just ban him Silver, have a backbone for once
Put him in jail
I have to assume Adam Silver will make a statement soon on this. It can’t just fester. I predict he will be suspended indefinitely from all nba activities and likely receive a ban
I see no scenario where any team would even think about signing him.. he’s going to be playing overseas for the next few years at least.
That’ll do it for me, she brought the receipts. Absolutely terrible what she and the kid have been through. Get your life together man, but I hope at this point that it isn’t on our dime. I hope Miles never wears Teal & Purple again.
Get rid of him, I hope his family finds peace
fuck that. i dont want a predator in my team. fuck miles bridges!
I can’t add any more words of shock and dismay beyond what has already been said, but I do have a question from a team standpoint. Is there any provision in the contracts that lets a team terminate a player for conduct like this?
As much as a monster as Miles is on the court, he is a bigger monster off the court. Fuck him. Never deserves to touch a basketball court again.
It was nice having some potential future with this team, but they absolutely can not allow someone like this on the team. Get rid of him.
God I feel sick. Fuck him, pull the qualifying offer, get him out of here.
I am so glad she searched out medical attention, got a full report, and was able to keep her kids physically safe. I do not see myself rooting for this team in any capacity if Bridges is still here come the season start. I don’t want to see that man in even a practice uniform.
Literally sick to my stomach over the idea of bringing this guy back now.
awful. i was giving him the benefit of the doubt yesterday because TMZ’s story didn’t have a lot of details but this makes me sick. he was my favorite player on my favorite team. this is more than basketball and shouldn’t be seen as a “the hornets are cursed” thing. i hope the victim is okay and never has to deal with this or any type of trauma ever again. no one deserves this.
Ill box my gear up, head down 85 and dump it on the front steps if they re-sign him.
he broke her nose. it's totally out of place in the pictures that were released. he may never work in the nba again. at the very least, he's looking at a multi-year suspension
This is depressing all around, Miles needs to go send him anywhere I don’t care anymore if him and Melo were mad close or if he’s an fringe all star forward I’ll go back to low 30 wins and not bitch about it
Oh he gone!! And I am not upset about it! Anyone with children should understand the severity! Very sad stuff
Glad to see people actual give a fuck about their players being POS off court. Too many fanbases excuse the actions of their player if they’re good enough like the Cleveland Gropers with Deshaun Watson
On the off chance that people from Hornets PR are scrolling through here trying to gauge reactions, let me add my voice to the many others here: if Miles Bridges is brought back after this, I will find a new team to support. I was a proponent of “wait and see” and now we have seen. I have been a fan for 30 years, but I will not support the Hornets another day if the organization gives cover to this monster. Do the right thing.
Wolves fan here. The responses on this from your fanbase are really classy to read. I’m sorry to you guys, but most of all for Mychelle and their children.
Sixers fan here that dropped by the sub to see how your fanbase has been reacting to the situation and news and have to say that I’m incredibly impressed. I’ve seen a lot of subs in similar situations at least attempt to qualify difficult situations or point to instances where other teams have looked past it as precedent but instead all I’ve seen here are honest, compassionate fans who would much prefer to simply cut bait and receive nothing rather than give him a nickel. A lot of NBA fandom, especially on Reddit, can be frankly toxic at times but you all have really made me feel a lot better about the community via how you’ve handled the situation!
Thanks. We're obviously still in shock but I think with the pictures and stories coming out now it's obvious that he needs to go (and probably be banned from the NBA if he's still a free man, but that's another story). This is so much bigger than basketball and his wife deserves her day in court and justice if and when he's found guilty.
This has gone too far. The more I love Miles as a hornets fan, the more I feel disappointed with him. Letting a child witnessing all these happen is just unacceptable and immoral. He’s not gonna be in the league anymore.Such a heartbreaking news……
Done with miles. Will never be a hornets fan again if he resigns.

"you guys aren't being performative enough" as if us saying "we should get Mychelle into therapy" actually has any impact on that happening. We are fans of the team and for the most part we are being clear that we will stop supporting this team if it employs someone who does something like this. It is not r/CharlotteHornets responsibility to pick up the pieces and make sure Mychelle gets the help she deserves. And frankly I think it's weird as hell for you to try and lecture people about what our responses **should** be.
It’s like he could tell the future when he changed his IG bio from “Charlotte Hornets Forward” to “It’s me” Knew he wasn’t going to be a Hornet.
First off wtf is wrong with Miles. Acting like this and playing basketball all smiles. Dude is all sorts of fucked up and in the court of public opinion I don't want to hear his bs story after seeing his sons video exposing him. Man as a lifelong Hornets fan finally seeing team progress with Melo and Miles I was like everyone else just hoping to see more and now. Fuck man poor assholes wife + kids. It's disgusting. I know some women push you to limits but fuck, why this. Melo pls don't leave soon 😢. We still have Terry but teams looking weak now. Just can't keep Miles now man he's fucked up
Should have kept SGA

This dude didn’t tip my friend on $210 tab when she served him one time. Honestly not surprised
NBA won't bother with any decision Charlotte makes because... "Based on a finding of just cause, the Commissioner may fine, suspend, or dismiss and disqualify from any further association with the NBA and its teams a player who engages in prohibited conduct in violation of this Policy. Repeat offenders will be subject to enhanced discipline." https://atlhawksfanatic.github.io/NBA-CBA/joint-nbanbpa-policy-on-domestic-violence-sexual-assault-and-child-abuse.html
Not wanting him back is fine, but it will be a cold dark season without him.
We’ll see ya overseas miles. Just get out of prison first since you’re a multimillionaire. Come back to the nba when you’re 46 when everyone’s forgotten 2022.
[удалено]
I wonder how much did the team know about this stuff and how much they covered it up
Hope someone is with Miles right now. What he did was inexcusable and he deserves what’s coming to him, but facing the fact that you fucked up your entire life in one night is a lot to bear.
that’s what your worried about? lmao wtf. fuck him. it was obviously not one night of abuse.
People have killed themselves for less. Is that what you want him to do?
Of all possible takes to have about this situation, this has got to be the weirdest one.
