Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was charged with domestic violence and child abuse over allegations he assaulted his wife in front of their two children, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said Bridges, 24, has been charged with one count of injuring a child’s parent and two counts of child abuse under circumstances likely to cause great bodily injury or death.”

“Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable,” District Attorney George Gascon said. “Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process.”

Bridges, 24, turned himself in to authorities on June 29 after incidents the prosecutors said took place “on or about June 27 and 28.”

After he had been released on $130,000 bond, his wife, Mychelle Johnson, posted photographs on Instagram that appeared to show injuries to her face and body.

“I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life,” Johnson wrote. “I won’t allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person.”

Bridges’s arrest came shortly after the Hornets extended a qualifying offer to the restricted free agent, who averaged 20.2 points per game in last season, the fourth in his NBA career.

Super Bowl shatters viewership records with 123.4 million tuning in for Chiefs’ victory

The Super Bowl last Sunday, where the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious with a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers and featured Taylor Swift as a star spectator, achieved a record-breaking audience of 123.4 million viewers, setting a new benchmark for television broadcasts in U.S. history.

This spectacle surpassed the previous record held by last year’s Super Bowl, in which the Chiefs also clinched the title, this time against the Philadelphia Eagles, gathering 115.1 million viewers.

The 2024 Super Bowl ranks just behind the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, which had an estimated viewership of between 125 and 150 million people in the U.S. However, the comparison is somewhat imprecise since the moon landing was broadcast across various networks, whereas the 2024 Super Bowl was exclusively aired on CBS and its affiliated channels and platforms.

Data from Nielsen Fast National and Adobe Analytics, released by the NFL in a statement on Monday, showed that 120 million people watched the game on CBS.

The remaining viewers tuned in through Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports, and NFL+. Notably, the 2.2 million viewers on Univision set a new record for a Super Bowl broadcast on a Spanish-speaking network.
