Hamilton has three daughters with his former wife, and in 2019, he was arrested for child abuse after assaulting one of his daughters.
According to his daughter’s statements, Hamilton allegedly threw a water bottle at her, which hit her in the chest, and cursed and yelled at her.
He then picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, carried her to her bedroom, and threw her on the bed, pinning her face down.
The former MLB athlete hit her legs with both an open hand and a fist. After that, he allegedly picked up her by her sweatshirt, pushed her back on the bed, and slapped her with his open hand on her back and legs, leaving multiple scratches on her back.
The victim also claimed that Hamilton told her: “I hope you go in front of the [expletive] judge and tell him what a terrible dad I am, so I don’t have to see you anymore.”
Hamilton’s attorney released a statement denying the charges, but in February 2022, Hamilton pleaded guilty to the charges.
