Reuben Foster’s ex-girlfriend, Elissa Ennis, sheds light on a dark episode
Everyone looks terrible.
Reuben Foster. Elissa Ennis. The 49ers. The Washington football team.
And the NFL. Particularly the NFL.
On Thursday morning Ennis, Foster’s former girlfriend, went on Good Morning America to tell her side. Sadly, it’s a story many of us expected to hear at some point.
She had stayed with Foster because she loved him, thought he would change. She had lied on the stand - recanting her original story of abuse - because he asked her to, because “if someone you loved came to you, you’d do the same thing.” She continued to be threatened and abused by him over the past six months.
