Geno Smith will not be charged following assault accusations


No charges were filed against New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith following accusations from a woman on social media, according to a recent report.

Police closed the case after an investigation into the allegations. An ex-girlfriend came to his defense in an attempt to “kill that narrative.”

Smith should now be able to focus on football following the off-field drama. Here’s everything you need to know about the situation.

Geno Smith was accused of assault.

A clip of the NFL passer was posted on Instagram over the weekend alleging an altercation between Smith and a woman that goes by “@EverythingKrisxo.”

“Today is the DAY!” the caption read. “GENO SMITH beat my a– cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be left alone with him because he’d rather watch p— online and play Call of Duty.”

The video quickly went viral online. The woman allegedly pressed charges leading to a probe by law enforcement.

Police can be seen in the video speaking with the quarterback. According to Andy Slater of Fox Sports, no charges will be filed.

Smith’s ex came to his defense.

The woman referenced Geno Smith’s son, Seven, in the clip. She is not the mother of the child.

Seven’s mom, who goes by “@eethr” on Instagram, responded to the claims. She backed the quarterback amid the accusations.

“Geno is and always has been more than capable of taking care of his son, let’s kill that narrative,” she wrote on social media. “Don’t get on the internet bringing my son into your web of dysfunction.”

The ex posted a photo of Smith and Seven to support her claim. She insists he has done nothing to warrant the allegations of neglect.

Seven was born in July of 2019. Smith commemorated the birth with an update on social media.

Smith was acquired by the Jets in a trade with the Raiders this offseason. He will now return for a second stint in the Big Apple.

The quarterback struggled last year in Las Vegas, going 2-13 with a league-high 17 interceptions. That came after a largely successful run with the Seahawks.

In his first go-round with the Jets, Smith went 12-18 across four seasons with 28 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. He now joins a QB room with Cade Klubnik, Brady Cook, and Bailey Zappe.
