On Sunday, Busted Coverage posted screencaps of text messages supposedly between a professional athlete and a college student/Hooters waitress. The story would not have been all that newsworthy had it not been for two factors: The athlete is Robert Griffin III, and the texts were sent on Griffin's wedding day.
Griffin, one of the NFL's most likable and marketable stars, has until now almost entirely avoided the kind of off-the-field attention that lands athletes on Busted Coverage and, well, here. But the offseason is long, and this latest story feels a little like the ceremonial bell-ringing at the opening of a stock exchange's trading session.
The backstory was fairly public. After the folks at Busted Coverage received iPhone screenshots dated July 6 showing someone listed in contacts as "RGIII" texting and sending a shirtless photo, they tracked down the woman. Her name is Meredith, and she's a VCU student and Redskins fan, and her social media history is filled with mentions of Griffin, as well as an October photo showing two Redskins tickets she claimed (but later denied) he sent her.
An anonymous "Jane Doe" sent along screenshots of Meredith and Griffin using FaceTime video chat on two separate occasions. Joe Kinsey, the editor of Busted Coverage, tells us the Jane Doe sent it in because she didn't want Meredith to profit.
When BC's post went up, Meredith contacted the site's editors, asking them to take down the story. In exchange, she offered to sell them "inappropriate pictures," as well as screenshots of chats and texts. As a sample, she sent a photo of a shirtless man she claims is Griffin and promised there are more, including "one with his out."
We also heard from another reader, who had originally contacted us back in January. He was offering a story about how Griffin had been "catfished" by an older woman posing as a college-age girl. She had supposedly received scores of texts and Facebook messages from Griffin, as well as " pics."
Which begs the question for the 141285651st time: Why do athletes marry?
Exactly, he has been MARRIED FOR 10 DAYS
Why a 23 year old making millions would be in a committed relationship, let alone married, truly baffles me.
I woulda smashed that if I was married too
WGAF if people cheat when they're married...you think his wife doesn't go prowling for some while det busy playing football half the year? Marriage is just something you do when you start full timing it with a buddy. It ain't what it once was.
Man loves his white gurls tho thats for sure
Bet he does a lotta coke too
Thats a cocaine slang joke for those not keeping score at home.
I'm not insinuating he does coke because he's black.
That would be racist.

A girl like that will break any man's will. Impossible to pass up.
Cocain is not associated with race like Meth, Opium and Crack are
RG3 is a good dude, but his wife is gonna regret expecting commitment out of this nig. It just ain't in that safari DNA.
You ever hear that joke about the white dude selling cocaine?
No?
That's what I thought.

No money was involved, shes still a ed up a hoe for selling that at the time that she did though.
