TMZ Sports reports that the complaint, filed Jan. 8, alleges the May 31 incident at Davis’s home occurred during a dispute over the woman’s pregnancy. The document claims Davis hit her with magazines and books from under his TV and offered her $10,000.
A second alleged incident is described as taking place on June 7, when the woman says she confronted Davis about lying. She claims he slapped her in the face after she sat next to him on the couch, and she says she recorded a later conversation in which he allegedly stated, “If I really slapped you, your face would be blue/black.”
The filing notes a prior physical incident that left the woman with visible bruises, suggesting a pattern of alleged violence preceding the two reported episodes. The report indicates a court date is set for February, with a warrant having been issued for Davis’s arrest on Jan. 8.
Davis, 41, played 14 NFL seasons, including stints with the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders, and the Denver Broncos, with the latter franchise as part of its Super Bowl-winning era. The report does not indicate any immediate public comment from Davis or his representatives.
No charges have been announced in the public-facing summary, and the legal process will determine the next steps. This case adds to ongoing scrutiny surrounding former players in the wake of on- and off-field incidents, as investigations continue.
