Report: Hardy 'humiliated,' afraid to face teammates after Twitter bio change

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy was "humiliated" and afraid to face his teammates after changing his Twitter bio to proclaim his innocence, NFL Media's Albert Breer reports.

Hardy was summoned to speak to head coach Jason Garrett about the bio change, which was believed to be a response to his alleged involvement in a 2014 domestic violence incident. He showed up late for work the following day in an effort to avoid his teammates and "get his mind right," according to Breer.

Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports 1 was the first to report Hardy's tardiness.

After arriving at the team facility, Hardy sat down with teammate Jeremy Mincey for a heart-to-heart.

"In the end, no one knows the truth (about the domestic violence incident) except the people who were there," Mincey told Breer. "We can all speculate and say it was this or it was that. I just know he's working hard on being a better person. We had a heart-to-heart - I know he feels like the world's against him."

Mincey said he advised Hardy to "keep yourself out of harm's way. And remember, (the public) can do and say whatever they want to do or say."

"He has great intentions," Mincey continued. "We're trying to give him a good support system. I believe in him as a man: he's strong-willed and strong-minded. And the things he wants to get accomplished, he can get accomplished. He just needs to start looking at things from a positive perspective, and all these things will start falling away, and eventually he'll be forgiven by people."
