UFC Flyweight Andrea Lee Allegedly Assaulted by Her Husband Donny Aaron
The former Legacy Fighting Alliance champion Andrea Lee who made her debut at flyweight back in May, where she earns the Fight of the Night-winning performance against Veronica Macedo in the main card of UFC Chile at the Movistar Arena in Santiago.
Shortly after the win, there was arguably the biggest controversy in MMA emerged related to Andrea Lee’s husband and coach Donny Aaron who has Nazi tattoos on both of his arms. Backlash swiftly arose from the MMA community. Later Aaron took to social media and apologized saying he has no intentions to remove or cover them.
Back in 2009, Aaron was found guilty and convicted of negligent homicide with a firearm and served some jail time for that incident.
According to Middleeasy.com, Aaron and Lee were involved in a domestic violence brawl by the weekend of August 4. Aaron can be convicted for false imprisonment and domestic abuse/battery. He has yet to be punished for his offenses as he fled the scene.
One of Lee’s friend and fellow fighters, Andy ‘The CrAsian’ Nguyen who lives the couple and their daughter witness the whole scene, according to a police report.
“I’M IN THE BEDROOM, I’M TRYING TO SLEEP, IN THEIR HOUSE. I CAN HEAR THEM COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW ‘MIGHTY MOUSE’ [DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON] GOT ROBBED. NOW THE [UFC 227] FIGHTS WERE DONE. I HEAR DONNY YELLING DOWN.
I SAT UP IN THE BED AND I’M LIKE ‘WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?’ I GET A TEXT MESSAGE FROM DONNY’S MOM ASKING IF SHE NEEDED TO COME OVER THERE. I WAS LIKE ‘NO.’ THEN I HEAR MORE YELLING, HE’S CUSSING HER OUT. SO I OPENED MY DOOR AND SHE (LEE) RUNS INTO HER DAUGHTER’S ROOM. DONNY IS TRYING TO BURN A CIGARETTE ON HER ARM AND HER BODY. SHE’S YELLING TO STOP TRYING TO BURN HER. DONNY’S DAD IS THE ONLY ONE HELPING ME. HIS DAD IS LIKE 70 OR 80 YEARS OLD. THERE’S ANOTHER GUY NAMED KENDRICK THERE WHO IS THIS BIG STRONG GUY, WHO WOULDN’T GET OUT OF HIS ROOM TO HELP ME. HE PUT ON HIS HEADPHONES AND WAS LIKE ‘THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.’ HE JUST TUNED IT OUT.
AT THE TIME I WAS NOT IN SHOCK THAT IT WAS HAPPENING, I WAS JUST PANICKING. I RAN BACK INTO MY ROOM AND TEXT HIS MOM AND SAID ‘ I DO NOT WANT TO CALL THE COPS. CAN YOU COME HERE?’ THIS WAS AT ABOUT 1:30 AM (NOW AUGUST 5TH). I FELL BACK ASLEEP.
I WAKE UP AT 4:30 AM. I STILL HEAR DONNY. AT 4:30 HIS MOM AND DAD HAD LEFT. I TURN ON MY LIGHTS AND OPEN DOOR SO DONNY KNOWS I’M AWAKE. USUALLY, HE DOES CRAZY STUFF BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. I WENT TO THE KITCHEN. I HEAR THEM BICKERING. THEN IT GOT QUIET. I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WERE DONE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A GRUNT AND THE DOG WAS IN THE KENNEL AND STARTED BARKING. I CAN HEAR HER SAYING ‘STOP, STOP.’ I OPENED UP THE DOOR AND WAS LIKE ‘DONNY, LEAVE HER ALONE.’ HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS LOST. HE HADN’T SLEPT IN TWO DAYS. HE WAS DRINKING FOR TWO F*CKING DAYS STRAIGHT. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE IS ON. I’M BACKING UP AS HE IS COMING TOWARDS ME. ANDREA WAS BUTTONING UP HER SHORTS AND SHE WAS BAREFOOT AND RAN OUT THE BACK DOOR.
THEN DONNY WAS YELLING, ‘SHE’S BEEN CHEATING ON ME FOR THREE F*CKING YEARS.’ I WAS LIKE ‘NO SHE HASN’T. YOU’VE BEEN THINKING SHE HAS. SHE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING.’ THEN HE SAW HER RUNNING AND HE WAS LIKE ‘OH, NO YOU’RE NOT’ AND WENT AFTER HER. SHE’S SPRINTING. IT’S 5:30 AM.
I PUT ON MY GYM CLOTHES TO CHASE AFTER IF I HAD TO. DONNY GOES BACK IN THE HOUSE AND HE’S LIKE ‘I DID IT AGAIN, I DID IT AGAIN.’ I WAS LIKE ‘WHAT DID YOU DO? DID YOU KILL HER?’ BECAUSE HE HAS KILLED SOMEONE BEFORE. I DIDN’T KNOW IF HE GRABBED A ROCK AND BANGED HER HEAD. I WAS SCARED TO WALK OUTSIDE. HE WAS LIKE NO ‘I MADE HER RUN BAREFOOT AGAIN.’ I TOLD HIM TO GIVE ME THE KEYS TO THE JEEP AND HE REFUSED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WOULD THINK IT IS HIM AND WOULD NOT STOP.
I KNEW THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE JEEP BECAUSE I DROVE IT HOME LAST BECAUSE DONNY WAS DRUNK AT THE BAR. HE FINALLY GIVES ME THE KEYS AND THE SUN IS COMING UP. I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION. I JUMPED OUT AND CALLED THE COPS FROM THE GAS STATION. I TOLD THEM THAT MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING HURT FROM HER HUSBAND. GAVE NAME AND ADDRESS AND LIKE SIX COPS SHOWED UP. SHE HAD UBER’D TO A HOTEL. I MET HER AT THE HOTEL AND I GAVE HER ALL HER BELONGINGS AND THEN THE COPS CAME OVER TO THE HOTEL AND THEY DID THE INTERROGATION OR INVESTIGATION OR WHATEVER.
I WAS NOT THERE AT THE HOUSE WHEN THE COPS CAME BUT DONNY SAW THE COP CARS COMING AND HE RAN OUT THE HOUSE WITH HIS DAD AND HE HAS BEEN GONE EVER SINCE. THEY SHOULD HAVE A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST NOW.
IT’S F*CKED UP BECAUSE DONNY USED TO BE A COP. HE’S F*CKED UP IN THE HEAD. HE WAS MAKING HER DO THINGS TO TRY AND FAKE EVIDENCE THAT SHE WAS CHEATING. HE WAS TRYING TO GET HER TO PULL HER PANTS OFF AND TAKE PICTURES TO SEND TO A GUY SO IT LOOKED LIKE SHE SENT IT. HE’S F*CKED UP IN THE HEAD.
THEY HAD BEEN ARGUING ALL WEEK. SHE COULDN’T TRAIN BECAUSE HE KEPT HER HOME. HE WOULDN’T LET HER LEAVE. I DIDN’T CALL THE COPS UNTIL IT GOT PHYSICAL AND I COULDN’T DO NOTHING ANYMORE.
HE WAS TRYING TO CHOKE HER, BUT SHE WAS DEFENDING HERSELF WELL. SHE DIDN’T GET BEAT UP BAD. THE POLICE DID TAKE PICTURES OF MARKS ON HER NECK. WASN’T BAD THIS TIME. NO BLACK EYES OR ANYTHING BUT HE HAS HIT HER BEFORE. I JUST WASN’T THERE. HE WAS MY COACH AND MY FRIEND. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS WAS IN PRESENCE AND I WAS NOT GOING TO LET THIS FLY.
THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. I JUST NEVER SAW IT. HERE’S ANOTHER THE THING. THE UFC AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE OFFERED DONNY FREE TATTOO COVER-UP AND HE STILL NEVER DID IT. YOU SEE ONLINE, THE SMALL SWASTIKA ON HIS ELBOW. I HAVE A BIGGER PICTURE OF A BIGGER TATTOO ON THE SHOULDER THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS COVER THE LITTLE ONE BUT HE DIDN’T. I WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR MY WIFE TO SAVE HER CAREER BUT HE DIDN’T. THIS IS SH*TTY. IT’S NOT ANDREA’S FAULT. SHE IS SWEET AND KIND AND SHE FORGAVE HIM ALL THE TIME. THIS TIME, THIS IS IT.”
Do you think UFC flyweight should file a case against her husband?
