«Breaking News» Kansas City Chiefs RELEASE running back Kareem Hunt

The Kansas City Chiefs have released star running back Kareem Hunt, saying that he lied about kicking and shoving a 19-year-old woman during an altercation that was caught on video. 

Video footage of the incident at a Cleveland hotel in February emerged on Friday, and the Chiefs said in a statement that the footage proved that Hunt had been 'untruthful' with investigators. The Chiefs said that Hunt would be released 'immediately'. 

Hunt, 23, had helped propel the Chiefs to first place in the AFC with a 9-2 record, and had been seen as one of the team's best shots of securing a Super Bowl title. 

It is now unclear whether he will ever play again. In addition to being cut from the Chiefs, Hunt has been placed on the NFL Commissioner Exempt list, meaning he is barred from practicing, playing in or attending games.

'Earlier this year, we were made aware of an incident involving running back Kareem Hunt,' the Chiefs said in a statement. 'At that time, the National Football League and law enforcement initiated investigations into the issue.'

'As part of our internal discussions with Kareem, several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions. The video released today confirms that fact,' the statement continued.  

Hunt responded to being cut in a statement to ESPN, saying: 'I want to apologize for my actions. I deeply regret what I did. I hope to move on from this.'

Before the video's public release, the team had stuck by the Pro Bowl running back despite reports of the woman's assault accusations at the time of the incident. Hunt was never arrested over the allegations.

According to an ESPN report, Hunt was sent home from the Chiefs' facility on Friday afternoon after the video emerged.

The video footage released on Friday shows Hunt arguing with the woman at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018 outside Hunt's hotel apartment at Cleveland's Metropolitan at the 9.

The altercation begins with Hunt coming out of the hotel room to speak with her. 

As they get closer, a male who appears to be friends with Hunt tries to separate them before Hunt violently shoves the woman away.

As one woman attempts to hold Hunt back, the Chiefs running back kicks another as she crouches on the floor. Charges were never filed and Hunt has not been suspended by the NFL

Several more men and another woman emerge from the hotel room and attempt to hold back Hunt, who re-emerges from the doorway to knock one of the men into the woman, both of whom tumble to the carpeted hallway floor.

Later in the footage, which was originally released by TMZ, Hunt can be seen kicking the woman while she crouched on the floor.

Police body cam footage shows the woman crying as she spoke to police. A police spokesperson could not immediately provide the body-cam footage. 

'He shoved me, he pushed me,' she said. 'You can watch the video tapes, which I would like to see if that's possible.

'Also, I came down after and asked the clerk in the white shirt if I can call 911,' she continued. 'I'm not sure if that's against the law to deny that to a person... I asked him three times, and he said 'that's what you get for being a s***.'

'Meanwhile, Kareem, the person who assaulted me, had my phone. I had no way of calling,' she continued, before adding, 'I got it back.'

At the time, Cleveland police Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia told Cleveland.com the incident appeared to be a cross complaint, meaning either accuser would be directed to the prosecutor's office if inclined to press charges.

According to the reports, the woman and a friend - who said they were Kent State students - spent the night visiting bars on a party bus with Hunt, Hunt's friend and others before going back to Hunt's apartment. 

The dispute occurred after the accuser and her friend were asked to leave the apartment but remained in the hallway outside, making noise and banging on the apartment door, the reports say.

An Ohio native, Kareem Hunt lived in a Cleveland hotel apartment at the time of the incident 

The woman told police that Hunt came out of the apartment and 'shoved and pushed' her, causing abrasions on her knee and hand and a scratch on her chest, according to the report. 

A woman in Hunt's group of friends told police that the accuser hit her in the face when she went into the hallway with hopes of ending the fracas.

There were also reports at the time that the woman called Hunt the n-word  

Hunt went to high school in Willoughby, Ohio and played in college at Toledo before being drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2017 draft. He led the NFL with 1,327 rushing yards as a rookie. 

According to TMZ, Hunt was previously accused of punching a man in the face at an Ohio resort, but charged were never filed. 

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt (no relation) told reporters in August that he did not expect Kareem Hunt to be suspended during the 2018 season for either incident. 

The latest incident reminded many of the notorious Ray Rice incident, in which the Ravens star was also cut only after shocking video footage was publicly released by TMZ. 

The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell took significant criticism in 2014 over his handling of the Rice incident, in which he knocked his then-fiancee unconscious.

Goodell first suspended Rice only two games after video emerged of the former Rutgers star dragging his now-wife out of an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. 

However, that suspension was extended indefinitely after another video was released depicting Rice striking her in the elevator.

Rice has never returned to the NFL.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
