Jonathan Martin Retracts Bullying Claims That Shook the NFL

Former Dolphins player admits he never felt bullied, sparking renewed scrutiny of the 2013 'Bullygate' scandal.

Jonathan Martin, at the center of the 2013 'Bullygate' scandal, has stated he never believed he was being bullied by Richie Incognito or other teammates.
The original allegations led to a 144-page NFL investigation, suspensions, and career disruptions for several individuals, including Incognito, who missed the entire 2014 season.
Richie Incognito has criticized the media and Martin’s family, accusing them of perpetuating a false narrative that severely impacted his career and reputation.
Evidence from the time, including voicemails with racial slurs, was cited in the NFL's report, though Incognito maintains it was misinterpreted as part of locker-room culture.
Martin's admission has reignited debates about accountability, media narratives, and the consequences of the scandal on those involved.
