Houston Texans RB Arian Foster is being sued by Brittany Norwood, 20, a University of Houston senior for harassment.
Norwood claims that Foster is the father of her unborn son, and that he has been pressuring her to get an abortion, according to multiple reports.
Norwood told KHOU 11 News that she did not realize that Foster was married or had children when they first became intimate last summer at training camp. Norwood also claims the pair spent a week together in California, while Foster recovered from back surgery. Norwood said everything changed when she told Foster she was pregnant and wanted to keep the baby.
“He’s like, ‘You can’t have this, you can’t have this kid, like, we cannot bring a child into this, like, think about my kids,’” Norwood said.
She said Foster began sending text messages urging her to end the pregnancy.
“You just can’t bring a life into this world under these circumstances. It’s not fair to anyone. It’s not just about you,” read one message, according to Norwood.
Norwood’s attorneys filed for a temporary restraining order against Foster and on Tuesday, Harris County Family Court Judge James Lombardino ruled that neither side can harass the other while the case plays out in court.
Foster’s attorney filed a motion asking the judge for a gag order. He claims Norwood was planning to produce a reality show about being pregnant with the NFL star’s baby. The judge denied the attorney’s request.
Norwood said the baby is a boy and he’s due in June. She said Foster hasn’t helped with her medical bills. Her attorneys want to force Foster to submit to DNA tests to prove he is the father.
Norwood’s attorney said she is no longer speaking to the media while talks go on between both parties. They are hoping to reach a mutual agreement soon.
