LeSean McCoy’s estranged girlfriend appears be backing away from previous statements implicating the NFL player in a robbery and assault that left herbadly beaten and hospitalized.
“He took a diamond bracelet off my wrist,” Cordon says in the 911 call of the unidentified assailant. “He just kept asking for jewelry. I think it has something to do with my ex-boyfriend.”
However, Cordon’s Tanya Mitchell Graham toldCBS Newsthat Cordon is no longer certain about McCoy’s participation in the attack.
In a clarification of the statement to ESPN’s Mike Rodak, Graham insisted there had been “no backtracking” in Cordon’s account.
“Graham says her client ‘suspects’ McCoy had ‘something to do with it’ but Cordon is not directly blaming McCoy without more evidence,” saidRodak via tweet.

Graham also told CBS News that the jewelry was a birthday present from McCoy.
During the 911 call, the distraught Cordon expresses fear that her former boyfriend was watching her through the home’s security system.
“Ma’am I have cameras all outside my house,” she frantically says. “My boyfriend, who I feel like did this, who set me up, is going to see us on the cameras outside.”
Cordon also told the dispatcher her son was missing and she did not know if he had been taken or fled the attack.
The attacker pistol-whipped Cordon — a designer and popular Instagram model — multiple times during the incident while trying to retrieve jewelry, Milton Police confirmed to PEOPLE.
In his statement on Tuesday, McCoy said he had not spoken to Cordon in months, despite her living in the house he owned.
“For the record, the totally baseless and offensive claims made against me are completely false,”McCoy wrote on Instagram. “Furthermore, I have not had any direct contact with any of the people involved in months.”

As Cordon mentioned during the 911 call, her attorney told PEOPLE that the estranged couple has long been at odds with each other concerning jewelry since their relationship ended.
In a July 2017 incident, and in two other domestic disputes on April 11 and June 1 this year, police said they found no evidence of violence or that the former couple’s arguments had become physical.
The two were due to attend a court hearing on Tuesday, but it was postponed to Aug. 14 at the request of Cordon’s attorney.
