Patrick Beverley said the days following his arrest were overwhelming, especially as reports and online discussions spread across social media. Shortly after posting bail, he reacted to what he believed were inaccurate claims about the incident."I'm so motherf***ing salty right now," Beverley said on November 18. "The things that they saying on the internet is unbelievable. "Punched my sister. Choked my sister.

I just can't wait until the truth comes out."The veteran guard explained that the confrontation began after he learned his teenage sister had left the house without permission to meet an 18-year-old male. Beverley said he tried to bring her into another room during the dispute.

According to his explanation, he pulled on her arm to guide her away from the situation and grabbed the front of her hoodie to stop her from running toward the young man outside the home.

Police later arrived after the boyfriend contacted authorities. Beverley said the accounts given to officers were not the same, which led to his detention."I just understand that the narrative that people are going off is only based on the police report. I get it, I be looking at that s*** the same way. That's not at all what happened. Everybody got family issues."The former NBA guard later described the entire experience."I just wanted to kind of give you guys my reality of what the f*** I've been going through. This s***'s been depressing, it's been sad, it's been embarrassing."
