BJ Whitmer’s Victim Speaks Out – ‘I Was Literally Fighting For My Life’

As we previously reported here on eWn, AEW fired BJ Whitmer following his arrest for domestic violence and burglary.

Whitmer was arrested on June 4th in Boone County, Kentucky, and charged with strangulation in the first degree and burglary in the second degree.

Whitmer’s alleged victim spoke to News 19 under the condition of anonymity, sharing details on the violent incident.

The victim noted that she did not feel safe, as Whitmer was released just eight days following his arrest on a $25,000 cash bond.

The police report noted that Whitmer “grabbed her by the throat and threw her down on the couch, where he began strangling her.”

The victim said, “I was literally fighting for my life. I came into my house, and he was standing at the top of my steps waiting for me. And he squeezed tighter and said, ‘I’m going to f****** kill you. Do you hear me? I’m going to kill you!’ And once we got to the point of where we stopped moving, and then he continued choking me, I absolutely knew. Instead of coughing, I lied and said, ‘I already called the cops,’ and the second I said that he let go.”
