It became physical and I kicked her in the legs,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are zero excuses for my actions that night; it was a shameful moment and one that I regret to this day. At that time, I immediately apologized to Rosalind, but understandably, she wanted nothing to do with me. I told my parents, family, and friends what happened because I wanted to take full responsibility for my behavior. Rosalind also informed her parents, family, and friends. While the authorities were never involved in this matter, I voluntarily sought out counseling to help learn, grow and improve &#8211; one of the most valuable decisions that I ever made. To this day, the type of behavior has never been repeated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/cristiano-ronaldo-signs-deal-75-million-per-season-saudi-arabian-club\"><strong>CRISTIANO RONALDO SIGNS DEAL WORTH $75 MILLION PER SEASON WITH SAUDI ARABIAN CLUB<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The statement also says the incident &#8220;shaped me, but doesn&#8217;t define me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Soccer said in a statement of their own they were made aware of the allegation on Dec. 11 and &#8220;appreciate Gregg and Rosalind coming forward to speak openly about this incident.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They hired Alston &amp; Bird LLP to conduct an independent investigation immediately upon being made aware of the incident, and they have &#8220;learned about potential inappropriate behavior towards multiple members of our staff by individuals outside of our organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we will share the results of the investigation publicly when it is complete,&#8221; U.S. Soccer said in a statement. &#8220;U.S. Soccer condemns violence of any kind and takes such allegations very seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Berhalter&#8217;s contract has expired, and U.S. Soccer said they will &#8220;announce who will lead&#8221; this month&#8217;s camp &#8220;in the coming days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The USMNT advanced to the Round of 16 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/soccer\/the-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Cup<\/a> before being knocked out by the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/us-soccer-probes-alleged-gregg-berhalter-incident-90s-apparent-blackmail-plot\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/us-soccer-probes-alleged-gregg-berhalter-incident-90s-apparent-blackmail-plot <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States Soccer is conducting an investigation into an apparent &#8220;physical incident&#8221; between Gregg Berhalter and his wife from the fall of 1991.
