KC Chiefs Running Back Kareem Hunt Brutalizes and Kicks Woman in Hotel Video
1:33 PM PT -- Hunt has reportedly been sent home from the Chiefs' practice facility, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.
He reports Hunt will likely be placed on the commissioner's exempt list -- which means he will probably not play this Sunday when the Chiefs take on the Raiders in Oakland.
TMZ Sports has obtained video of Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Hunt shoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel back in February.
Kareem has not missed a single game this season despite the incident happening MONTHS before the 2018 NFL season kicked off ... and team CEO Clark Hunt publicly stated in August he doubted Hunt would be suspended.
In the video, Hunt is seen arguing with a 19-year-old woman outside of his room at The Metropolitan at the 9 at 3:22 AM on February 10, 2018.
Hunt turns a corner and confronts the woman, shoving her hard. The woman strikes him back in the face ... and that's when Hunt goes berserk.
As friends try to hold him back, the 2017 Pro Bowler -- who led the league in rushing yards -- explodes and knocks one of his friends into the woman ... who both go flying into a wall.
Both Kareem's male friend and the woman appear dazed -- but Kareem makes his way over to the female and kicks her while she's crouching on the ground ... knocking her over.
Police were called to the scene but no arrests were made. According to police reports, obtained by TMZ Sports, surveillance video from the hotel was obtained by law enforcement. We're told that video is part of the evidence that was submitted to prosecutors.
Still, cops did not arrest Hunt and no charges were filed because officers say they were unable to determine if a crime had been committed.
At the time of the incident, the woman told police the whole thing started because Kareem kicked her out of his room after she refused to hook up with one of the men in Kareem's entourage.
Kareem's friends told cops the woman had gone crazy when asked to leave and called Kareem the n-word ... and then struck one of Kareem's female friends once things turned physical.
Unclear why the NFL has not taken any action against Hunt. We reached out to the league to find out if they pursued the video. We also reached out to cops to find out if the NFL contacted them about the footage as well.
The whole incident is reminiscent of the Ray Rice scandal when the NFL star knocked out his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator in Feb. 2014.
The NFL suspended him indefinitely -- but only after TMZ Sports published the brutal knockout video from inside the elevator ... video the NFL claimed they had not seen until our story.
After the incident, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged failures in the NFL's investigative process and said they would overhaul their protocol.
Since then, the NFL claims it has tried to be tougher on players accused of attacking women -- most famously, the league suspended Ezekiel Elliott for 6 games in 2017 stemming from allegations he got physical with an ex-girlfriend in 2016.
We reached out to the NFL for comment -- so far, no word back.
Oh my!
True. I had a thief provoking me a couple months back. Her idiot employee agreeing with her thievery. I thought the woman was stupid. Later on I realized she’s just a petty thief. I was apparently the only one who figured out she was stealing, apparently.
What did the NFL know and what did it do?
Yeah, really.
He’s a lock to be Keith Ellison’s chief of staff, if he needs a new job.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Officers say they were unable to determine if a crime had been committed.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
They have apparently suspended him for a while..............
A roll of $100 bills?
Snort.
Am also wondering if any media was aware of the story and spiked it. And if so, was that at the NFL’s request.
Drunk and disorderly is a way of life for these people. They deserve each other.
Because (truly awful pun) "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
Did ESPN have the story and spike it?
Did the local media have the story and spike it?
Did SI have the story and spike it?
Since the police didn’t do anything, the NFL didn’t either.
Until some TMZ reporter got ahold of it...................
The National Felons League. The NFL’s new slogan: ‘At least it keeps ‘em outta jail!’
Next stop, Redskins....
LOL! It used to be the Cowboys!...................
National
Felons
League
The police did not have to do anything. I guarantee you that the NFL could have used the behavior on that video to exercise a clause or clauses in Hunt’s contract and jettison that degenerate’s sorry a$$.
The NFL chose not to do that.
Hopefully the NFL will learn the same lesson Tricky Dick did.
He got mad coz the ho wouldn’t put out?
