Former Southern California kicker Matt Boermeester was removed from school because of a Title IX investigation that his girlfriend Zoe Katz says was "horrible and unfair," according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Boremeester was accused of shoving Katz outside her home, something both of them deny happening.

According to the Times, Katz said that she and Boermeester have been dating for more than a year and a neighbor saw them "roughhousing." It got back to a USC coach that Boermeester was abusing Katz, and he reported it to the Title IX office.

Katz told the Times that he has “never been abused, assaulted or otherwise mistreated by Matt.”

In a meeting with the Title IX office, she said the officials painted her as being a battered woman who was afraid of Boermeester.

“Matt Boermeester did nothing improper against me, ever,” Katz said in a statement, according to the Times. “I would not stand for it. Nor will I stand for watching him be maligned and lied about.”

Boermeester was suspended by the school in February while the investigation was taking place and hasn't been allowed to return.

About a month before he was suspended, Boermeester made a 46-yard field goal as time expired to end USC's 52-49 victory against Penn State in the Rose Bowl. He made 18 of 25 field goal attempts last season.
