Ex-NFL player Zac Stacy claims ex-girlfriend ‘staged’ attack caught on video

During his arrest at Orlando International Airport, ex-NFL player Zac Stacy told police his ex-girlfriend “staged” a viral video that shows him beating her, body camera footage released Monday reveals.

Stacy, 30, is accused of beating the mother of his infant son at her Oakland home Nov. 13 in an attack that was recorded by security cameras. He is out on bond while facing domestic violence charges and is prohibited from returning to Florida unless it’s for court hearings.

The surveillance video shows Stacy hitting his ex-girlfriend, Kristin Evans, until she falls to the ground, then picking her up “like a rag doll” and throwing her into a 65-inch television that fell on top of her, authorities say. The video went viral after Evans posted it online.

Orlando police officers arrested Stacy after he exited an inbound flight from Nashville Nov. 18. While detained, he told officers Evans had “staged” the beating because she was “bitter” he did not want to be in a relationship with her, video released by OPD shows.

“I dropped everything to come down here and support the mother of my child in her last trimester and the baby,” Stacy told police. “I let her know I wasn’t trying to be with her or nothing like that. This is a case of just bitterness. That’s why she did this. The whole assault thing. She staged it. She set me up.”

Neither attorneys for Stacy nor Evans immediately responded to a request for comment.

Evans, though, denied the accusation in a video she posted to Instagram Monday and said Stacy was “playing victim.”

“I don’t know how you can stage getting your ass beat on multiple occasions — you can’t,” she said. “But this is what abusers do. They will make you seem like you’re the crazy one and that they’re the victim.”

Stacy also told the officers Evans was taking advantage of his mental state after he spent some time in rehab for anxiety and depression eight months ago.

“The whole thing was staged,” he said on the body camera footage. “All she’s trying to do is get money out of it. She got a reaction out of me. She knew I was down. She knew I was going through anxiety and depression. She knew I was trying to close this gap that’s between me and my son. She’s just upset that she got caught and she’s upset I’m not taking care of her like she expected — and now she took it this far.”

At Stacy’s first appearance in court last month, a judge set his bail at $10,150 and ordered him to surrender his passport and any firearms, as well as avoid contact with his ex-girlfriend.

At a later hearing, Evans asked Circuit Judge Mark Blechman to increase Stacy’s bond and place him on home confinement. She also said she was “afraid to go home” after Stacy was released from jail.

“I was slapped, punched — literally picked up and thrown into my TV,” Evans told the judge. “... This is not the first time he’s been violent with me. I am afraid for my safety and my children’s safety.”

Blechman denied her request to increase Stacy’s bond amount or require him to wear an ankle monitor but did ban Stacy from returning to Florida unless he’s scheduled to appear in court.

Stacy is a former running back for Vanderbilt University and later the NFL’s St. Louis Rams and New York Jets.
