Affidavit: Attack left Manziel's ex-girlfriend deaf in 1 ear
DALLAS - Johnny Manziel's ex-girlfriend says he hit her so hard during a late-night confrontation that's being investigated by police that she lost hearing in one ear.
An affidavit filed by Colleen Crowley was obtained by KXAS-TV.
"They expect (the ear) to heal, but it'll take a while," attorney Kathy Kinser told NBC5.
Crowley won a protective order last week against Manziel, the Cleveland Browns quarterback who is being investigated on allegations of domestic violence.
In the affidavit, Crowley says she and Manziel had a confrontation in his hotel room at about 1:45 a.m. Jan. 30. Crowley accused Manziel of throwing her onto his bed, then forcing her into his car and beginning to drive away. She says she jumped out of his car, but he chased her down and hit her left ear, rupturing her eardrum.
"He hit me with his open hand on my left ear for jumping out of the car," the affidavit states. "I realized immediately that I could not hear out of that ear, and I cannot today (Feb. 3, the date of the filing)."
Manziel's attorney did not return a phone message Monday.
