According to WFAA’s Mike Leslie, Bryant was upset at ESPN columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor along with some other reporters. Leslie said the altercation lasted about 15 minutes, and Bryant was upset at what some of the media members had written and tweeted. Taylor denied the accusation.
Several other Dallas media members tweeted broad statements such as “Dez is unhappy,” but didn’t dive into what actually happened. It wasn’t until after news broke that Bryant blew up on the media that the Cowboys wideout told his side of the story.
“Yea I blew up on the media but report why I blew up on y’all,” he tweeted. “Saying I don’t give f— about me and calling players n—s is not professional. If you going to tell something tell the whole thing…I’m done with the situation… I hope everyone is having a great day.”
According to Leslie, Bryant is accusing Taylor, who is African-American, of calling Cowboys receiver Devin Street the n-word. Leslie also says Street came to Bryant’s defense at one point during the altercation and said that “escalated the matter further.”
