CHAD WHEELER GF ALLEAH TAYLOR SPEAKS OUT ABOUT ATTACK … NFL Lineman ‘Terrified Me’

The woman, Alleah Taylor, sat down with CBS reporter Jericka Duncan to describe the Jan. 22 incident, which ended with her being hospitalized for serious injuries.

“I had touched my face and I had looked down and there was blood on my hand,” Taylor said in the interview (which airs Wednesday) … “and I remember getting up and running to the bathroom.”

“Chad was standing by the bed, by the doorway and he was sipping his smoothie and he was like, ‘Wow you’re still alive?!'”

Taylor says she’s “grateful” the 6’7″, 315-pound lineman stopped the attack — but she says the NFL player acted like it was no big deal.

“I’m grateful he didn’t grab me in that moment. I was able to run to the bathroom. He went back to the living room to continue eating.”

“I had texted his dad too and told him that Chad was trying to kill me. Chad’s dad called him while he was eating and I was in the bathroom. And he answered and he didn’t have any worry at all. Chad was like, ‘I’m just eating dinner, nothing’s going on.’ And that terrified me.”

Wheeler was later arrested and hit with three criminals charges — including 1st-degree domestic violence assault — over the incident. It took 3 cops to subdue him in a wild struggle, documented in the police reports.

The NFL player — who blamed all of his actions on a “manic episode” — pled not guilty to the charges at a hearing in a Washington courtroom on Monday.
