Adrian Peterson's Wife Sent 3-Word Message After Brawl
On Thursday, June 19 TMZ Sports released video of former NFL star running back Adrian Peterson involved in a fistfight with another man at JokerStars, a social club in Houston.
The incident allegedly took place on May 27 when Peterson and "one of his buddies" were involved in a disagreement while at a poker table. "One thing led to another" and the friends started exchanging punches.
Peterson tells us ... he and one of his buddies were involved in a disagreement while at a gaming table, "one thing led to another," and they squared up.
"Peterson took a flurry of punches to the face at the outset of the scrap, but once the fight spilled into a back wall, the ex-Minnesota Vikings running back appeared to land several haymakers," TMZ Sports wrote. "We're told after the guys were pulled apart, bloody wounds were visible on both their faces. Peterson, though, claimed he sustained his injury after he fell into a chair -- not from a punch."
Peterson admitted alcohol played a role in the fight, but insisted that wasn't the reason the situation turned violent.
"Me and the guy, we're cool," Peterson said. "We've known each other. It was literally like a brother situation. We agreed to disagree, we had our words, and we threw blows -- and that was it."
After the fight, Peterson said he regretted the situation, but both men "made up" not long after the fracas. Police were not called to the incident.
Just two weeks after the fight took place, Peterson's wife, Ashley, posted a three-word message for the retired NFL star. "Happy Father's Day," she said in a post showing off their family on Instagram.
