Trevone's girlfriend Shabrika mentioned in an interview with WFAA-TV that her boyfriend and she had an initial argument after Trevone ordered her to unlock her phone which she rejected. After she refused to cope with Trevone's order, Shabrika claims that the NFL player used violence and even broke her jaw.

"So he goes into a choke. I remember him choking me and I’m trying to calm him down. And I just couldn’t. And I blacked out. I just couldn’t calm him down at all."

Further, she claims that Trevone even tried to clean up his acts by taking her to the hospital and forcing her to lie about the incident. Trevone was later released on bond but was released of his contract from Seattle Seahawks.

This has further caused a financial crisis to the NFL quarterback as he reached the point of desperation and is selling his pieces of jewelry and online on Twitter.
