Antonio Cromartie’s wife sent two alarming text messages to her husband on May 6th of last year implying that she would cut her wrists and kill herself. Her husband sent cops to the house to knock down the door only to reveal Mrs. Cromartie sent the text messages because she thought her husband was cheating.The ordeal did land the wife in psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. Complex reports:

It’s bad enough that Antonio Cromartie cannot name every single one of his kids. The last thing he needs is to worry about the mental stability of his own wife. On May 6, 2011, while in Miami, Antonio received two alarming, early morning text messages from his wife, Terricka Cason Cromartie, who happened to be seven months pregnant.

“God forgive me, I don’t want to die. What have I done?”

“I cut my wrists. I took those pills.”

Upon reading those two texts, the Jets cornerback contacted the nearby Randolph Township, N.J. police, who needed to knock down the doors of the Cromarties’ home to get inside. Once the authorities managed to enter their house, they found Terricka and her two daughters safe and sound. When the police questioned Antonio’s wife, she confessed to faking the suicide attempt because she thought her husband was cheating.
