Ex-girlfriend of Miles Bridges denies allegations in Spectrum Center restraining order
Miles Bridges’ ex-partner, Mychelle Johnson, pushed back on claims that she tampered with the Charlotte Hornets player’s tires and cyberstalked him.
On April 14, a judge in Mecklenburg County put a temporary restraining order on Johnson.
That came after the player’s attorney alleged that she stayed at a hotel near the Spectrum Center during a game on his birthday, went into the garage his car was in, tampered with its tires, fled security, and later pretended to be a made-up woman and tried to scheme Bridges’ lawyer into arranging a paternity test.
Johnson denied the allegations in a Tuesday filing.
“These allegations are false, without merit, without proof, made up and are designed by the Father and his attorney to harass the Mother with continual multiple frivolous pleadings they know she does not have resources to continue to defend,” Johnson’s attorney, Ginny Conley, wrote in a response Tuesday.
By her account, Johnson attended the March 21 game at in uptown with a friend who got tickets and was staying at the hotel. They left early, Tuesday’s filing said, and “walked through the parking garage and lobby of the Hyatt House hotel” where Bridges’ car was. She left when someone — who she thought was Bridges’ friend — called out for her, the filing said.
The brother of Bridges’ current girlfriend started recording Johnson and following her, the response said, and she left.
She also denied claims that she pretended to be a fictitious woman and tried to trick Bridges’ attorney into setting up a paternity test.
Johnson asked a judge to sanction Bridges for “having to defend against (his motion) that was pursued in bad faith in the form of costs, attorney’s fees and any other amount allowed by law.”
She faces no criminal charges.
In 2022, Bridges pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge in an incident involving her.
