NFL player LeSean “Shady” McCoy has been accused of being responsible for a violent attack on his former girlfriend.
The legal firm representing Cordon said in a statement to PEOPLE that she was attacked at around 3am Tuesday morning as she slept in the Georgia home that she shares with the football star. The pair is currently estranged.

The man allegedly demanded a number of specific pieces of jewelry and when he could not get bracelets off her wrist he pistol-whipped her multiple times and her cousin was also struck, according to the firm.
“Ms. Cordon sustained multiple injuries to her head, face and arms during this horrendous attack,” the statement continues.

“I can’t believe you did this to my best friend! YOUR KARMA IS GOING TO BE SO REAL!” Boykin wrote in the post which has since been deleted. “The world needs to know what type of animal you really are! This was just her yesterday on the left and now this morning this is her on the right!”
Boykin also accused McCoy, a running back for the Buffalo Bills, of beating his dog and trying to “viciously” beat his young son.
“We didn’t say anything about how you beat your dog ‘Henny’ into kidney failure,” the message continued. “Let’s not talk about all the times my best friend had to stop you from VICIOUSLY beating your son for small things like peeing in the bed. We kept quiet about your drug usage.”
McCoy has vehemently denied the allegations made against him. Representatives for McCoy did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
“For the record, the totally baseless and offensive claims made against me are completely false,”McCoy wrote on Instagram. “Furthermore, I have not had any direct contact with any of the people involved in months.”
Another social media user, who said she was a friend of Cordon, claimed the NFL player sent armed men to McCoy’s house.
The Milton Police Department confirmed they are investigating a break-in at the home.
“An adult female victim was treated and released at North Fulton Regional Hospital. A second adult female victim also sustained a minor injury during the incident,” the statement, which did not name Cordon as the victim, read.

The two were due to attend a court hearing on Tuesday, but it was postponed to August 14 at the request of Cordon’s attorney, Tanya Mitchell Graham, according to theTimes.
The Buffalo Bills released a statement through ESPN’sAdam Schefterthat said they have been in communication with the 10-year NFL vet since the shocking photograph came to light.
“We have spoken to LeSean and have been in contact with the National Football League,” they said. “We will continue to gather information.”
