There is a sentiment that Greg Hardy is playing for the Cowboys while Ray Rice is out of the league because video exists of Rice’s domestic violence incident, while Hardy’s was kept out of the public eye. Photos have now leaked from Hardy’s domestic violence incident with his then-girlfriend Nicole Holder, and the Cowboys will now experience major backlash.
Hardy’s incident wasn’t caught on film, but sounded even more harrowing than Rice’s elevator punch. According to reports, Hardy strangled Holder, pushed her against a wall, and allegedly slammed her onto a futon that was covered in assault rifles. Hardy was actually convicted of this assault, only to avoid jail time when he appealed the decision, and Holder didn’t testify. Police say she reached a settlement with Hardy, and no longer wants to discuss the case.
Greg Hardy's Domestic Violence Record Has Been Expunged
The incident is frightening, as reported by Deadspin. Hardy is accused of calling Holder a slut, throwing her into a bathtub, dragging her by the hair and choking her while saying “I should kill you,” before “snapping out of it” as Holder told police. The photos can be seen here, but are graphic. Holder also said it wasn’t the first time Hardy had hit her, but she downplayed those instances because “there wasn’t any bruising.”
Hardy also called 911 that night, and posited that Holder had been attacking him. In his call he said he had a welt on his eye and that she was trying to hit him with a shoe, but his manager was restraining her. He defended the numerous injuries on Holder’s body by saying she had done them to herself, and that if he had assaulted her, at his size the damage would have been worse.

Recently, Hardy was criticized for an outburst on the sideline during a Cowboys loss in which he pushed a coach, and screamed at a number of teammates, including star wide receiver Dez Bryant. Afterward, he wasn’t reprimanded by anyone on the team, with owner Jerry Jones going as far as to call him a “real leader.” These new photos will show just how much Jones missed the mark with his comments.
