Former NFL D-lineman Haynesworth alleges ex-girlfriend abused him
Albert Haynesworth, who checked in at 6-foot-6 and around 350 pounds during his days as a defensive tackle for the Titans, Redskins, Patriots, and Buccaneers, sent a series of tweets Wednesday alleging his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Jackson, racially and physically abused him during their relationship.
Jackson, a former women's college basketball player at Tennessee, is the mother of Haynesworth's son, Ayden.
Haynesworth released a series of tweets titled "The Ugly Truth about Brittany" made up of three iPhone Notes screenshots. The notes detailed Jackson's alleged racial discrimination and physical violence during their two-year-plus relationship.
The notes went on to claim Jackson kept money donated to her foundation, under the pretense of it being intended for Alzheimer's research.

Jackson pleaded guilty to simple assault in 2010 following a fight with her sister at Tennessee Wesleyan College, and has a DUI charge on her record, according to ESPN.
Haynesworth was charged with simple assault for a road rage incident in Virginia in 2011. He also pleaded no contest to a sexual assault charge in Washington, D.C., undergoing alcohol-abuse and psychological-social assessments with community service as alternatives to a trial.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reported that police responded to a call from Haynesworth in Southeast Knox County on Jan. 10, with him alleging Jackson kicked him in the groin during an argument. She had left the house before police arrived and Haynesworth didn't press charges.
