Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald saw himself under some hot water after a certain De'Vincent Spriggs accused the defensive lineman of assault this past week during a party. Donald's case took a pretty surprising turn after the accuser reportedly issued an apology to the 29-year old, per Lindsey Thiry of ABC News.

The apology comes on the same day when an attorney hired by Donald refuted Spriggs' claim that Donald was involved in the assault. Casey White, Donald's attorney, told ESPN on Friday morning that Spriggs swung a bottle at Donald that grazed his head as he ducked, before other people surrounding Donald stepped in.

Donald's attorney Casey White earlier claimed that the CCTV footage should absolve the 3-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year of any of the allegations. In the video, it appears like Donald is actually trying to be the peacemaker during the unfortunate scene.

White further explained the situation, claiming that his client was actually trying to prevent Spriggs from getting his behind handed to him even further. He added that Donald also didn't know the people involved in the fight and actually wanted to bolt the scene when things started to get out of control.

“As he ducks, somebody from behind grabs him to stop him from interacting with this guy, Mr. Spriggs, so he holds Aaron back in a sense,” White said. “At that point, that's when other people come to Aaron's aid and defend him by removing, so to speak, Mr. Spriggs from the area where he is punched and he is fighting; it's a mutual fight at this point between other individuals who Aaron does not really know.”

“Aaron actually runs over to [Spriggs'] aid and starts pulling people off of this guy,” White said. “He's trying to get these kids off Spriggs. He gets at least two or three people off of Spriggs, and at that point in time, somebody grabs Aaron and says, ‘This is not a good situation, let's get the heck out of here.'”

I guess this should immediately close Aaron Donald's case. The Rams star can now turn his focus on more important things, particularly football.
