CHAD JOHNSON CHATS ABOUT EVELYN LOZADA HEAD BUTT ON ESPN & HER REACTION

It takes time to heal old wounds, but the repercussions of the alleged altercation between former NFL star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and estranged wife Evelyn Lozada continues to play out in the public.

In his first public interview since the incident, Ochocinco stopped by ESPN’s First Take to discuss what really went down.

“What happened was a mistake–that I’ve continuously apologized for, to the people that I’ve hurt, including my wife–I’ve stated that numerous times….I think me continuing to say sorry, sorta drowns it out,” he said. While he admitted being the one at fault for their split, he said that he deservedly lost everything as a result.

He also discusses his time with the Patriots, getting the ax from the Miami Dolphins and the tragedy involving Chiefs’ Jovan Belcher.

When one of Lozada's Twitter followers prompted her to tune into the show featuring Johnson who joined hosts Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith to tell them why his career marriage failed, the 36-year-old reality television attached a symbol of eyes to her Twitter account. After attaching another symbol of "watching" eyes to her Twitter account, Lozada then wrote one of her ex-husband's known catch-phrases: "child please."



Following Johnson's interview, one of Lozada's followers asked if she was bothered by the fact that her own mother still stayed in contact with her ex-husband.

"No not at all," she replied simply.
