Dez Bryant will face charges for slapping his own mother

Dez Bryant

Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant thought his domestic assault case for slapping his own mother would disappear. But Dallas County district attorney Craig Watkins confirmed to ESPNdallas.com on Wednesday that his office plans to file Class A misdemeanor charges against the troubled player.

A man who would slap his own mother is the lowest scum of the earth.

Earlier Wednesday, Watkins told The Dallas Morning News at a speaking engagement that his office will decide the proper way to move forward regarding the prosecution of Bryant. The charges stem from a July 14 disturbance in which Bryant was accused of slapping his mother, Angela Bryant, in the face with his cap.

However, Angela Bryant told authorities in late July that she did not want to pursue charges.

“We have victims every day that file affidavits of non-prosecution,” Watkins told the Dallas Morning News. “We take those into consideration but we take other issues into consideration, too … so that’s just one element of the prosecution that we consider.”

    • PiscesRising

      Will Mr. Simmons be taking the opportunity to life Mr. Bryant up in private as well? Or does that only apply to persons under the management of the Def Jam enterprise?

    • OutsidetheBox

      Slapped with a cap? Like a ball cap? Sounds like he was knocking something away. I remember this but I didnt remember the cap part.

      I thought it was open hand or something.

      @ Shaun…I noticed the cap part too. I’m sure he didn’t beat the hell out of her with a cap. Like I said, I don’t know his mama and I for damned sure don’t know what happened. I can’t judge him. Look what Mario’s mama did to him.

    • Milky

      i would never slap my mother, no matter what she did. My mother (RIP) and I had some issues, but i would never and she wouldnt have let me. I would’ve been six feet under or in a coma in the hospital. I know all mothers arent good mothers, but they are still mothers!! He would be the one at his mother’s funeral tryin to get in the casket with her!!

      HARRISBURG, Pa. —
      Former Penn State President Graham Spanier was charged Thursday with hushing up child sex abuse complaints against Jerry Sandusky, taking the allegations of a “conspiracy of silence” to the highest level of the university and marking another chapter in the dramatic downfall of a once-renowned administrator.
      Prosecutors also added counts against two of Spanier’s former underlings, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were already charged with lying to the grand jury that investigated the former Penn State assistant football coach.

      According to a police report obtained by TMZ, copes responded to a domestic violence call at the home of Dez Bryant’s mother in DeSoto, Texas on July 14 at 1:47 PM. When cops arrived at the home, Bryant’s mother, Angela, told police her son hit her in the face and grabbed her shirt so hard that he ripped her bra.

      On the 911 call, Angela said, “My son has assaulted me. He’s here now. he won’t go home. I keep telling him to go, he won’t go…. I can’t let him keep doing me like this.

      “I’m gonna put an end to it today,” she said as Bryant yelled profanities in the background of the call.

      Angela Bryant called police 2 days later to report pain in her wrists, hands and arms and chest — where Dez pushed her.

      My MIL Gloria was 16. If numbers matter.

      I went to the preggo girls school with a chick, Martia, I’ll never forget her…the most mature 12yo I ever met in my life.

      Weird… but I was not “surprised” that she was pregnant at 12. She was well beyond her years.

      My mom threw a telephone book at me from the bottom of the stairs back in early 2007. I threw it back at her.

      She came up the steps and I came down towards her. She smacked me. I smacked her back.

      She Liu Kang’ed me in the chest so hard, I FLEW backwards into the bathroom, into the bathtub and the bathtub tile on the wall where I landed crumbled.

      I packed my bags and moved out 20 mins later. Aint moved back home since. :no:

      I was in my early 20s when all this took place.

      I will never condone anyone hitting on their mama, but just like being a sperm donor doesn’t make you a daddy…getting pregnant and pushing out a child you don’t want and never care for in your life doesn’t make you a mama. Dez Bryant’s mom had him at 13 and has been on crack most of his life. Most of us have not grown up with crackhead mothers so in this case I will reserve my judgment. My aunt is on crack and the things she has put her kids through and continues to put them through everytime she “cleans” up only to go right back to the crack makes me want to put my hands on her!!! I will not go to jail over some crackhead though. I’ve told my cousins she is lost and just let her go, but they still yearn for the love of their mother even if she is a crackhead.
