We want to start this post off by saying that we really, really, really hope this story isn't true. La'el Collins—who went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft because of a murder investigation surrounding his pregnant ex-girlfriend—is already facing enough problems. But the story is simply too ridiculous/crazy/scandalous to ignore.
Over the weekend, an escort who goes by the name of "Throatzilla"(O_O x 1,000,000!) took to Twitter to call Collins out for allegedly using her services and then refusing to pay her. Or more specifically, she called him out for, well, just look at the tweet:
Yikes. Not exactly the kind of thing Collins wants out there in the world, considering the uphill battle that he's already facing. But wait, it gets worse! A short time after that tweet was sent out, the @Orallygifted214 Twitter account disappeared with "Throatzilla" (nope, still can't believe that's the name she goes by…) claiming that Collins and his agent had the account deleted:
So she went ahead and released a statement about the alleged incident:
I’m an escort & lael Collins hired me to eat his a** & give him head last Sunday but when it came time to pay, he said he meant he would take me out to eat. After us arguing for 20 minutes he agreed to pay me Thursday.
So when Thursday came, he made me delete his number & all of our text messages, but I requested them from Sprint he has now changed his number but I blasted him on Twitter & him & his agent got my Twitter deleted.
She has also gone on Instagram and called Collins out:
So far, it doesn't sound like her attempt at shaming Collins has forced him to pay up and/or respond. But…wow. This guy is definitely making headlines for all the wrong reasons since coming into the NFL, eh?
