Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has had to field a lot of accusations in recent weeks, and it seems his frustration is beginning to boil over.
According to a report by The Minnesota Star Tribune on Monday, a significant amount of money from Adrian Peterson's All Day Foundation was used for 'unknown' reasons. The report states that Peterson used the money to fund a sexual relationship with up to four different women at the same time.
"The 38-page police report details a night of drinking, arguing and sex that involved the running back, two relatives - including Peterson's brother, a minor - and four women, in various pairs," the report stated.
Peterson took to Twitter to defend against these latest allegations, apparently blaming the media for false reporting:
It's SAD how people these days will believe anything reported by media sources that don't take the time to be GREAT!!!

Peterson had previously stuck to posting screenshots of Bible verses on his Twitter so these posts are definitely out of the ordinary. But to claim false reporting against a story that lists multiple sources, including police reports and quotes from his lawyer, is not the best idea for someone who already has a black eye on his public image after allegations of child abuse last month.
"The charity's 2011 financial report showed $247,064 in total revenue, and listed just three organizations that received money," the report said. "A fourth outlay, entitled simply "clothing for needy families," listed "unknown" for the number of recipients.
"In 2009, the charity said its largest gift, $70,000, went to Straight From the Heart Ministries in Laurel, Md. But Donna Farley, president and founder of the Maryland organization, said it never received any money from Peterson's foundation. "There have been no outside [contributions] other than people in my own circle," said Farley. "Adrian Peterson - definitely not."
Peterson is expected to enter a plea of not guilty on Wednesday when he appears in court in Montgomery County, Texas. He is charged with reckless or negligent injury to a child after he allegedly disciplined his four-year-old son by beating him with a switch.
