Summary
Mikhala Renee Newman said on Instagram that she was never in danger and called police only to stop Anthony Smith from harming himself during a mental health struggle.
Her statement directly disputes allegations in Smith's domestic violence case, which authorities say includes threatening to kill her, forcing her into a vehicle, trying to run her over and making terroristic threats.
Smith made his first court appearance on July 28 and posted a $500,000 bond with conditions barring contact with Newman and travel outside Nebraska.
The defense from Newman follows earlier public backing from Smith's manager as the MMA fighter faces scrutiny after the arrest.
