Former NFL defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth tweeted allegations Wednesday night that his former girlfriend and mother of his child abused him during their relationship.

Haynesworth, who played college football at Tennessee and in the NFL for the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans, accused Brittany Jackson, a former Lady Vols basketball player, of racially and physically abusing him during their relationship. Jackson is the mother of the couple's son, Ayden.

Haynesworth made the allegations during a series of tweets Wednesday, saying Jackson called him the "n-word" on "numerous occasions," and tweeted that Jackson was "extremely violent," saying police had been called to "restrain her" 10 different times.
