Hardy Takes to Twitter to Apologize

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy took to Twitter on Saturday to express his regret over things that have happened in his past.

The Tweet comes just one day after photos of the NFL players ex-girlfriend emerged and appear to show her battered and bruised.

On Thursday a domestic violence charge against Hardy was expunged and on Friday the photos were released by Deadspin.

The charges against Hardy have been dropped and expunged, which means they were erased from the eyes of the law.

The charges were dismissed in February 2015 after Holder did not appear in court. The Mecklenburg County district attorney's office said it had "reliable information" that the pair had reached a civil settlement, according to ESPN.

But the case was back in the spotlight on Friday after Deadspin released the story.

Deadspin said it received hundreds of pages of records, some already reported, including police reports, interview transcripts and photos. The publication released over 40 photos that appear to show Holder with bruises on her arms, legs, chin, neck and foot.

In March 2015, the former Carolina Panthers' star signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Since starting, the team's owner Jerry Jones has called Hardy a "real leader" who inspires the team, even after video showed him shoving a coach during a game.

"While we did not have access to the photos that became public today, we were and are aware of the serious nature of this incident. We as an organization take very this seriously. We do not condone domestic violence. We entered into the agreement with Greg fully understanding that there would be scrutiny and criticism. We have given Greg a second chance. He is a member of our team and someone who is grateful for the opportunity he has been given to move forward with his life and his career," Jerry Jones wrote in a public statement through his public relationships representative.

Hardy, whose Twitter handle is @OverlordKraken also expressed his feelings over playing NFL football.
