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.
āHe got out of his car and started harassing me. He put his car in park,ā the woman says in the video.
āRight, because youāre going to yell at me and telling me I almost hit you, and I didnāt,ā he responded.
āBut you didnāt 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.
āHe ran the stop sign,ā the woman said.
āWell, there is no stop sign. What are you talking about?ā Owens responded.
āYou put your car in park and you came at me,ā the woman said.
āFirst of all, I didnāt come at you,ā Owens responded.
āYes, you did!ā the woman yelled.
Owens kept his camera rolling as their back and forth continued with a Broward Sheriffās Office deputy at the scene.
And then the woman makes this statement: āYouāre a black man approaching a white woman.ā
āLike I said, this could have turned really bad,ā Owens told Good Morning America Friday morning. āLike I said, I donāt know where it could have gone had the police come in and they basically took her word for something that she said that I didnāt do or what have you -- like I said, weāve seen it a number of other times as well.ā
Owens spoke exclusively to GMA about the incident and the racially charged statement.
āIf the roles were reversed, I probably would be probably in jail or something to that magnitude right now, honestly,ā he said. āAnd just the statement that she made, obviously, that came out of her mouth -- the comments exactly (were) āit was a black man approaching a white woman.ā I think that kind of says what you want to know about the situation.ā
