NFL player Earl Thomas found himself staring down the barrel of a loaded gun held by his wife after she allegedly busted him cheating on her.
The incident took place last month after Nina Thomas allegedly used Snapchat to track down her husband, who had stormed out of their home during an argument earlier that day, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
She logged into his account and found a video of the Baltimore Ravens free safety with another woman. Nina was able to locate his whereabouts at a rental home in Austin and drove there with two other women. She barged into the residence and discovered Earl in bed with another woman, according to the report.
Nina allegedly pulled the loaded pistol to her husband's head but he managed to wrestle it away from her. It is reported that she wanted to scare her husband and did not think the gun could fire after she removed the magazine. She was not aware that there was a round in the chamber.
Police arrived at the scene to find Earl running away from his wife, with the gun in his hand, according to TMZ. Nina was arrested for investigation of burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Her attorney, Jonathan Goins, denied the allegations.
"I am here to declare that my client unequivocally and categorically denies these allegations and we look forward to our day in court where we can clear her good name," he said.
Earl took to Instagram on Wednesday to address the ordeal.
"Stuff like this happens, bro," he said. "We're trying to live the best life we possibly can but sometimes it doesn't go as planned."
