Zac Stacy's Battered Ex-Girlfriend Begs For Mental Health Intervention For Sake Of The Kids

Zac Stacy’s ex-girlfriend and abuse victim is advocating for different treatment amid six months of sentencing for her beating.

The mother of Zac’s son was the one who released the video of the ex-NFL-er literally throwing her into a TV and repeatedly hitting her with what looks like both open and closed fists. Now, she is singing a different tune.

Kristin, hoping to salvage her son’s childhood made a video and posted it on her Instagram pleading with the court's system to let the father of her child go and instead allow him to enter a mental health facility.

She and Zac believe that he has been suffering from a traumatic brain injury after years of the rough contact sport he played essentially his entire young adult life. Along with the video she shared a lengthy message in support of Zac who made the decision on his own to seek help.

“Jail does not offer resources needed for mental health patients. It is not rehabilitative. The jail and prison system is a punishment in an authoritarian society made to oppress,” she opens her message.

“I didn’t advocate for jail because of the lack of resources, the lack of rehabilitation, the lack of education for mental health, and the psychological effect it may have on our son, having already developed a relationship with his father.”

Zac and his son have a great relationship according to Kristin and she would rather nurture that than make things worse for both parties in the long run.

“Our son consistently FaceTimed his dad several times a week, he spends the entire weekend every other weekend, and he deserves to have that.”

In the same message, Kristin addressed the inevitable haters for her personal choice. “So please give me some grace in understanding that I’m not being easy on Zac, rather I am trying to protect our son from anymore trauma.”

She adds. “Nothing is black and white and not every abuser is the same. People who are willing to put in work to be better, deserve an opportunity to show that they can be better. Especially with a diagnosable mental illness and significant head trauma caused by Football.”

Kristin also spoke about the situation in the accompanying video she assured those who are listening that she posted the video initially because Zac wasn’t remorseful and felt he needed to learn a lesson.

When the former professional athlete began to realize and show physical remorse for his actions, she decided to help him along the way in a capacity that was comfortable for her.

Zac was recently sentenced to 6 months in prison for the 2021 incident but what he actually wanted was a mental health facility to continue his recovery journey. Kristin shared that it was Zac who choose to seek mental health help, it was he who sought out how he was wrong in this incident, and it was he who realized on his own how much he had lost in a split second.

Kristin also acknowledged that she is the one who has to deal with and “co-parent with this man”, seeing that he sought out CBT therapy and seeing his demeanor change since seeking the help is what is pushing her today to advocate for him to get actual help and not locked up behind bars.
