Former NFL tight end Vernon Davis has been accused of attacking a woman with magazines and books during an abortion argument last year, according to TMZ Sports. The criminal complaint that was filed on Jan. 8 states the woman was at Davis’ home on May 31 when a disagreement broke out in his room over her pregnancy.

The woman claimed the former San Francisco 49ers tight end “was hitting me w/ magazines + books from under his TV,” and he offered her $10,000. She also said that Davis stopped after she pulled out her phone to record him.

On June 7, the woman said the two got into another argument when she accused Davis of lying to her. And when she sat next to him on the couch, the woman said he slapped her in the face and told her “not to question him.”

Looking at Vernon Davis’ NFL career

TMZ Sports said a warrant for Davis’ arrest was issued on January 8 for assault and battery. He is expected in court sometime in February. The outlet said Davis is taking the allegations seriously.

Davis began his NFL career in 2006, when the 49ers selected him in the first round (No. 6 overall) in the NFL Draft. He spent nearly 10 seasons in San Francisco and was named to the Pro Bowl twice (2009, 2013) and the All-Pro Second Team once (2013).

In November 2015, the 49ers traded Davis to the Denver Broncos. He played in nine regular-season games with the Broncos and helped the team win the Super Bowl.

Following the 2015 season, Davis signed a one-year contract with Washington. He then signed a three-year contract extension in 2017 and announced his retirement after the 2019 season. In his career, Davis caught 583 passes for 7,562 yards and 63 touchdowns.

After his NFL career, Davis got involved in the entertainment industry. According to IMDB, the 41-year-old has 27 acting credits and eight projects are on the horizon. Davis made a cameo appearance in the 2017 film Baywatch with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron.
