The mother of Miles Bridges‘ two children just shared several disturbing images of the injuries she claims to have suffered at the hands of the NBA forward … saying she sustained a fractured nose and wrist, a severe concussion and more.

The form states Johnson suffered “Assault by strangulation, brain concussion, closed fracture of nasal bone, contusion of rib, multiple bruises, strain of neck muscle.”I don’t need sympathy,” Johnson added. “I just don’t want this happening to anyone else, I just want this person to get help, my kids deserve better.
“That’s all I want. It hurts, everything hurts, this situation hurts, most importantly I’m scared and hurting for my kids who were witness to everything.” Along with the alleged injury photos, Johnson also posted a video where their son recounts the alleged attack on his mom. Johnson and Bridges first started dating around 2016 … and have two young children together. There are reports the couple is married.
Bridges — who has not addressed the allegations — was booked and released Wednesday afternoon … and resurfaced on Thursday at a basketball workout. Bridges is coming off the best season of his career … and was expected to be a top target in free agency. The Charlotte Hornets released a statement … saying the team is aware of the situation and gathering information.
