On Monday afternoon, it appeared that Diamond Lindsey, who had been romantically involved with recently dismissed Florida State Seminoles quarterback Deondre Francois, released an apology on Instagram.

The post, which came from the same account that released a video of what was alleged to be Francois threatening to hurt her, claimed that the video was fabricated to get attention from Francois. The apology also stated that the former Seminoles quarterback, who was dismissed by Florida State coach Willie Taggart on Sunday, had never physically abused her.

However, Lindsey's family now says that her Instagram account was hacked and the apology did not come from her. In the screenshots below, Lindsey's sister explains that the account was hacked. She also released a full statement that can be seen below as well.

Lindsey's account was later deleted after the apology, which the family now says was fabricated, was posted online. Francois and Lindsey were involved in a domestic dispute last January, and police investigated the incident.

Lindsey had accused Francois of domestic violence. However, both sides gave conflicting statements regarding the alleged incident. Francois called the police, stating that the woman was breaking items in his apartment and cut her own forearm while breaking a vase. Then roommate and former Seminoles player Zaquandre White backed up Francois’ claims in his own written statement to the police. The woman claimed that Francois picked her up and threw her down after breaking down a door to get into the room she was in.

The woman, per the incident report from last January, told police that she did not want to pursue charges; she also stated that she didn’t want Francois to get in "trouble trouble," but rather she wanted the police to speak to him in order to "scare" him a little.

Francois, who will be a redshirt senior next season, started every game for Florida State in 2016. He was the starter again in 2017 before suffering a season-ending knee injury under Jimbo Fisher in the opener against Alabama. He went 5-6 as a starter in his first year under Taggart, passing for 2,731 yards and 15 touchdowns to 12 interceptions while completing 57.3 percent of his passes.

Francois is now listed in the NCAA transfer portal database.
