14 DAY TRIAL // Word got out last weekend that NFL star Adrian Peterson had a secret 2-year-old son from a former, casual relationship. He only met the boy in the hospital, where he’d been rushed in a coma after he was brutally beaten by Joseph Patterson, whom the mother was dating at the time.
Now, Bobby Ruffin, the man believed to be the boy’s biological father until a few months ago, is speaking out on the drama, but only to say that people’s concern for Adrian Peterson is misplaced.
He is not the victim in this situation, Ruffin writes on his Facebook page, as cited by TMZ – if only for the reason that he never cared about little Ty, his biological son.
“So tired of this poor Adrian Peterson [expletive]. Let me blow all your minds. The boy who died was my son. Yes A.P. he was the biological father but I raised him and he carried my name. Tyrese Robert Ruffin. I don’t blame AP for not really caring cuz him and I both found out recently who the biological father was,” Ruffin writes.
He confirms what has already been put into print, that Peterson only met the boy in hospital because he had put off meeting him for months. When he finally did, it was too late to matter.
“AP met my son for the first time yest when my son was already in coma. I was here today when we pulled the plug, not him. He was happily practicing and has no problem playing on Sunday. So yea this isn’t all out yet but I’m sick of the poor AP [expletive]. He didn’t know or even meet my son. Sorry for the outburst but put yourself in my place,” Ruffin says.
In a separate post, TMZ reports that Ty wasn’t Peterson’s only secret child: he also has a 3-month daughter that no one knew about until just now, with a waiter he met at one of his favorite hangouts.
