Twitter began to circulate a video that showed Zac Stacy beating and even throwing his ex-girlfriend into TVs. It shocked all who saw it, and provoked a lot of fury from former New York Jets player.
I will not post the video here, but in the clips, the woman is seen begging for Stacy to stop as he throws her into televisions and a baby’s bouncy seat as well as hits her in front of a 5-month-old child. The incident is believed to have occurred on Saturday at Stacy’s ex-girlfriend’s house.
Fox News reports that Stacy was contacted by Fox News, but they have not received a response.
According to TMZ Sports the woman called police immediately following the altercation, but Stacy fled before they could reach him. According to the restraining order filed by the woman, Stacy had come over to see his son around 2pm, where he flew into a “jealous, violent rage”:
“He punched me several times in the head! I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me,” the woman wrote in the restraining order application.
She continued … “He then picked me up and threw me into my TV. The TV began to fall and he turned to make sure I wasn’t getting up. As I laid on the floor he began to yell at me, telling me I’m destructive. He then picked me up off the floor and off my feet and body slammed me into our son’s bouncy seat.”
That’s when she says Stacy said “I love you” to their baby boy, and bolted. In the restraining order docs, the woman adds, “I fear for my life and my children’s lives.”
This video has been viewed by many online, sparking a backlash from all parties. Many expressed their anger at Stacy’s abuse of the women. Uriah hall, a MMA fighter was among those who expressed their anger. stated he’s looking for Zac Stacy with the intent to “give an a** whooping on site.”
Stacy caused outrage in the football community. Greenbay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams took to Twitter to express his anger at what he saw in the open and made the comment that Stacy doesn’t just need to go to jail, he needs to be thrown under it.
“I’m not retweeting the video but ZAC STACY NEED TO BE THROWN UNDER THE JAIL. Anyone who puts his hands on any woman is coward. Can’t believe what I just saw,” Adams tweeted.

“Under the jail” is another way of saying “life imprisonment.”
Other former NFL stars have spoken out including Darius Butler and Stacy’s former teammate Chris Long who commentedHe didn’t know about Stacy’s other side, despite having played with him once in his career.
“Woke up to the Zac Stacy video. This made my stomach spin. It was not retweeting. Crazy to play w someone for a couple years & you have no idea what kind of bullshit they do at home,” he said.
According to Fox 35 in Orlando, a search by Orange County Sherriff’s Office is on and they have urged him to turn himself in.
“Efforts are underway to capture Stacy, and we would urge him to turn himself in and face the criminal charges,” said a statement from the department.
