Video: Johnson slaps lawyer’s butt
It’s as ridiculous as it sounds and no I am not kidding, this actually happened. Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson was in court for a hearing because he violated his probation, stemming from the incident that happened last summer when he hit his wife at the time. Johnson and his lawyer had a plea deal all lined up and once the judge okay’d it, Johnson slapped his lawyer on the butt. The judge saw this and determined he wasn’t taking the case seriously enough and sentenced him to 30 days in jail.
Chad Johnson gets 30 days in jail. Plea deal breaks down after he slaps his attorney on behind. Kid you not. They have Twitter in jail?

Judge didn't think Johnson was taking situation seriously enough after he slapped his lawyer playfully on behind. I mean, unreal.

When you do something like that, shows you aren't taking judicial system seriously. Aren't taking entire situation seriously.

People will say Johnson's problem was he was before woman judge in domestic violence case. No judge, man or woman, would tolerate.

The legal system has this funny way of wanting the people in it to take it seriously.

Talk about your all time backfires. It’s not that surprising that Johnson did something like this, he was known for his antics on the football field during his NFL career.
Update: Johnson tweeted the below message.
Love me through the good and the bad because I'm gone love you regardless… See you in 30… 🙏
