LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Damon Arnette, a former first-round NFL draft pick, has made headlines after a shocking accusation was brought against him by an adult performer on Wednesday, August 9.
During her appearance on the 'Pillow Talk' podcast, Danii Banks, an OnlyFans model, claimed that Arnette stole her pricey watch, phone, and money.
Currently a free agent, Arnette hopes to revive his NFL career after being let go by the Raiders in 2021 following the release of a video that appeared to show him wielding a gun while yelling death threats.
Arnette, 26, admitted pleas to misdemeanor charges of assault and drawing a firearm this past week to resolve the case in which he was accused of pointing the gun at a valet, according to CBS station KLAS.
He received a term of 50 hours of community service, a $2,000 fine, the forfeiture of his gun, and a prohibition on carrying "guns of any kind." Arnette was also previously arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of flashing a gun at a valet parking worker, as reported by the New York Post.

"Damon Arnette, the little football player, that played for the Raiders that got kicked off trying to shoot someone or some s**t," Banks stated on the 'Pillow Talk' podcast, adding, "Well, I went to the bathroom, stole my f*****g bust down Cartier watch, took my other phone and Zelled them all the money out of my account."
Banks continued, "I have it all on camera. Him and his friends leaving my house. Come to find out he does that to b*****t and then f*****g did it to me."
