NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens speaks about heated confrontation with Broward neighbor

ā€˜Youā€™re a black man approaching a white woman,ā€™ woman says in video

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. ā€“ NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens is speaking out about a heated argument with a woman in his Deerfield Beach neighborhood that happened Wednesday night.

Owens captured the whole thing on camera.

ā€œHe got out of his car and started harassing me. He put his car in park,ā€ the woman says in the video.

ā€œRight, because youā€™re going to yell at me and telling me I almost hit you, and I didnā€™t,ā€ he responded.

ā€œBut you didnā€™t have to get out of your f****ing car!ā€ the woman said.

Owens, a longtime NFL star receiver with the Niners, Eagles and Cowboys was accused by a neighbor of speeding, nearly hitting her and harassment.

ā€œHe ran the stop sign,ā€ the woman said.

ā€œWell, there is no stop sign. What are you talking about?ā€ Owens responded.

ā€œYou put your car in park and you came at me,ā€ the woman said.

ā€œFirst of all, I didnā€™t come at you,ā€ Owens responded.

ā€œYes, you did!ā€ the woman yelled.

Owens kept his camera rolling as their back and forth continued with a Broward Sheriffā€™s Office deputy at the scene.

And then the woman makes this statement: ā€œYouā€™re a black man approaching a white woman.ā€

ā€œLike I said, this could have turned really bad,ā€ Owens told Good Morning America Friday morning. ā€œLike I said, I donā€™t know where it could have gone had the police come in and they basically took her word for something that she said that I didnā€™t do or what have you -- like I said, weā€™ve seen it a number of other times as well.ā€

Owens spoke exclusively to GMA about the incident and the racially charged statement.

ā€œIf the roles were reversed, I probably would be probably in jail or something to that magnitude right now, honestly,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd just the statement that she made, obviously, that came out of her mouth -- the comments exactly (were) ā€˜it was a black man approaching a white woman.ā€™ I think that kind of says what you want to know about the situation.ā€

Owens is now pushing for the woman to face consequences, retweeting a petition, calling for her to face jail time for making a false police report.

A BSO spokeswoman confirmed that a deputy responded to the area shortly after 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. She said ā€œthe parties were separated, and the situation resolved.ā€
