Earlier in August, Johnson was arrested and charged with simple domestic battery after allegedly headbutting Lozada during an argument over a receipt for condoms.
Within days, the former Miami Dolphins wide receiver was dropped from the team, lost his VH1 reality series and was faced with the reality of divorce.
“He is a good guy who made a bad choice. He loves football, he is very driven, a great dad,” Lozada explains to Amy Robach. ”He made a bad choice that destroyed his life and I hate that I’m connected to that, I do, but it was his choice. It wasn’t mine.”
