When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong- The Steelers Edition

Category: , , , ,




Looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers love to be in the limelight, good or bad. This week, we take a look at Steelers WR Santonio Holmes, who found a way to be a pure dumbazz.


According to PFT.com. Mr. Holmes is being sued for assault and battery, stemming from a situation in an Orlando nightclub. Here's a look at the alleged account, according to PFT:

The civil complaint contends that Holmes confronted plaintiff Anshonoe Mills after she refused to leave the arm of a couch in the VIP area of the Rain nightclub. Holmes allegedly "put his hand" in Mills' face while attempting to remove her from the couch. Holmes then allegedly "threw his entire glass cup of liquor" at Mills' face, allegedly causing a laceration below her eyebrow and "blinding her temporarily."

She claims that, outside the club, she asked a police office to "reprimand" Holmes for his conduct. The complaint then alleges that "he" (it's unclear whether the pronoun refers to the officer or Holmes) "proceeded to inform the plaintiff that he was an NFL football player and that he could not face criminal charges." Mills also alleges that Holmes then "offered to give [her] money because he was a [sic] NFL star and could not get into trouble."

Mills claims that she "felt pressure from [Holmes] and the Orlando Police Department not to press chargers," and that while under said pressure he made "a short victim statement incoherently stating that she was hit in the face and bleeding near her eyes, however, intended not to press charges." She claims that the Orlando Police Department failed to write a police report.



Ummmm......... am I the only one that reads this and is thinking WTF???

First off, why do Holmes and other players use their celebrity to give them a pass to do anything they want??? The fact that he mentioned that he was an NFL player and wouldn't face charges is the most asinine statement I've ever heard. Has he talked to Michael Vick, Plaxico Burress or Jamal Lewis? News flash, athletes do get arrested too. If these accounts are true, then Holmes comes off as the ultimate douche lord.

Second, why is a grown azz man, throwing a drink at woman??? That has to be the most feminine thing I have ever heard. When you watch movies and TV shows, it's always the woman throwing a drink in a man's face.

But a dude doing it???? His masculinity took a hit with that one.

Apparently, Holmes didn't learn anything from his teammate's current legal issues. The alleged event happened on March 7, just 2 days after his teammate and QB, Ben Roethlisberger's incident. This is a prime example of, when keeping it real goes wrong. Both of these goons are making the Steelers PR reps do overtime right now. They both need to sit they azzes down before the team needs to look for a new QB AND a new WR.
