Dolphins WR Chad Johnson arrested for domestic violence, Cut by Dolphins

I think his big mouth got in the way of Eli's development. Tiki too. Eli showed he had balls after Tiki left and stepped up to the plate when Shockey left.

I honestly wonder if their crap actually helped Eli.

After they left I think it did.

I have no problems with the Dolphins cutting him because they don't like his personality or all the attention. I have a problem with them cutting him after his first (alleged) criminal offence without the presumption of innocence.

Frankly, Philbin and the Dolphins' brain trust had to know what they were getting into with Johnson when the signed him. He escaped the Belichick personality prison and was due to go nuts. They had to know that.

But again, innocent until proven guilty. Without that, what are we as a society?

I understand your viewpoint, seriously, but many arrests have been made with absolutely no merit. I'm not saying Johnson's is one of those arrests ... but, again, the guy has no criminal past whatsoever. One charge combined with a quirky personality doesn't make someone guilty.

Chad Johnson has a conviction of domestic battery in 2000 for hitting his GF

he sure does.....

Chad Johnson is no stranger to domestic violence -- TMZ has learned the former NFL star was secretly found guilty of battering a woman in 2000 ... 12 years before he allegedly struck again.

According to court records obtained by TMZ, Johnson was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery in L.A. on February 7, 2000 ... just before he began playing football for Oregon State University.

Sources close to the case tell us the victim was his GF at the time ... and she told police the football star had slapped her in the face after he accused her of cheating on him.

According to court records, Johnson -- 22 years old at the time -- pled no contest ... and the court found him guilty of domestic battery.

Johnson was sentenced to 3 years probation and ordered to serve 45 days in L.A. County Jail. But Johnson struck a deal with the court which allowed him to avoid jail ... as long as he completed 30 days of graffiti removal work with CalTrans. Johnson was also required to complete a 12 month batterer's counseling program and ordered to stay 100 yards away from the victim.

But Johnson didn't complete his probation requirements in a timely manner ... according to court records, he blew off the hard labor AND the dom. violence program for years.

After a judge tacked on an additional 15 days of graffiti removal, Johnson finally completed his legal obligations in 2002 ... when he was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now, Johnson finds himself in a similar situation ... having been accused of battering a woman once again ... his wife Evelyn Lozada.

Johnson told police he did nothing wrong this time around. He's expected back in court soon to enter his plea.

We called Johnson's lawyer. He had no comment.

Johnson is a lowlife. What a loser.

his wife just cut him....filed for divorce

his wife just cut him....filed for divorce

Why not? I'm sure there was no pre-nup because he was too scared of her crazy ass to bring it up. Now he can part ways with a significant chunk of whatever money he has left from his football career. After the divorce will come the civil suit for the pain and suffering brought on by the headbutt which keeps her from finding gainful employment.

[Maynard]

they had a prenup

Chad Johnson's wife of 6 weeks has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

Evelyn Lozada filed legal docs moments ago in Florida, claiming her marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The trigger for the divorce was the domestic violence incident over the weekend, in which Chad Johnson was arrested after allegedly head-butting her during an argument.

Evelyn claimed she found a receipt for a box of condoms in his car.

According to the divorce docs, the couple had a prenup -- but that won't be a big deal since the marriage was shorter than Kim Kardashian's.

FYI -- Evelyn and Chad JUST got married on July 4th in St. Maarten ... and the whole ceremony was recorded for a VH1 reality show (VH1 has since pulled the plug on that ... for obvious reasons).

[MrBill]

Then she can go straight for the lawsuit the day he gets convicted.
