Police investigating assault claims made against Jets star Geno Smith
Police are reportedly looking into assault allegations that have been made against New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.
A video emerged on social media on Sunday appearing to show a shirtless Smith arguing with a woman outside a stunning mansion in Davie, Florida. In the footage, he can be heard saying 'she just called the police'.
The woman, seemingly named Kristen, made a series of bombshell allegations against Smith when uploading the video to a private Instagram account.
Her post read: 'Today is the DAY! GENO SMITH beat my a** cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can't be left alone with him because he'd rather watch s** online and play Call of Duty.'
TMZ has reported that police are now reviewing the case. The Daily Mail has contacted Smith's representatives and the Jets for comment.
In the video, the woman responds to Smith telling somebody on the phone that she had called the police by replying: 'Geno just beat my a**, that's why. You ran outside and attacked me, b****.'

At the end of the footage posted online, Smith appeared to be talking to police officers
During the argument, the woman then sprints down the driveway and screams for 'help'. Smith tells her to 'leave my neighborhood'. With Smith stood on the driveway, she claims he 'broke my f***ing computer'.
Smith then gets into the driver's seat of a car, which she says is hers, and allegedly takes purses and money out before a scuffle seems to take place.
The video then ends with the woman filming Smith talking to three police officers outside his house. The caption reads: 'Charges, PRESSED!'
After the video had circulated on social media, the mother of Smith's son, Seven, took to Instagram to post a defense of the NFL star.
She posted a picture of Smith holding Seven, who was born in 2019, and wrote: 'Geno is and always has been more than capable of taking care of his son. Let's kill that narrative.
'Don't get on the internet bringing my son into your web of dysfunction.

Smith was traded by the Raiders to the Jets in March along with a seventh-round draft pick
She then posted another picture of Smith holding his son on the sideline of an NFL game and wrote: 'Happy Father's Day G'.
Smith, 35, is back with the Jets for a second spell after they first took him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
The two-time Pro Bowler has also played for the New York Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders during his career.
Smith, who won the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award in 2022, was traded to the Jets in March along with a seventh-round pick. In return, the Raiders received a sixth-round pick in next year's draft.
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
