Chad Johnson: Don't 'Feel Bad' for Me; Being Left Out of Madden is 'Awkward'
Chad Johnson, NFL free agent who lost his job, endorsements and wife after reportedly headbutting estranged spouse and "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, does not want fans to feel sorry for him.
Johnson, 34, recently deleted his biography information from Twitter and changed his picture to a photograph where he is holding his head in his hands. When one of over three million followers of the NFL free agent said they feel sorry for him, Johnson attempted to change their mind.
"Don't feel bad, my black (expletive) messed up, I made the bed now I gotta lay in it," Johnson tweeted.

When another fan asked the football player nicknamed Ochocinco why he did not have a Twitter biography, Johnson spoke about the need to start over.
"I got to start life over and create a new one...," Johnson tweeted.
Still, the troubled NFL player made light of the situation by calling it "awkward" that he would not be featured on the popular Madden NFL video game after being dropped by the Miami Dolphins.
"That awkward moment when you realize you're not on Madden13 and have to create yourself," Johnson tweeted.
Spectators debated about the football player and the mistakes that he made on Twitter.
"@ochocinco a real man can admit to when he was wrong and messed up yet u are only human and will make mistakes #godstilllovesyou (SIC)," one person tweeted to the football star.
However, another person wasn't so quick to admit that Johnson's mistakes were small.
"@ochocinco messed up is a huge understatement," the person tweeted.
Johnson has been vocal about admitting his mistakes with Lozada and issued a publicly apology after the domestic dispute that took place on Aug 11.
"I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred. I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death," Johnson said in the statement on his website. "I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL. To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies."
