CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After a report Sunday night that Johnny Manziel went missing in New York, his spokesperson Denise Michaels told cleveland.com that she's been in contact with him.

"I have heard from him several times in the last 24 hours and so have a few others,'' she said.

She had no further details about Manziel other than the fact they've spoken.

Pagesix.com reported Sunday night that Manziel went missing after he was supposed to host a small party in the Hamptons for close friends and family over the weekend, and that he was scheduled to fly there via Blade helicopter on Saturday. The helicopter waited 15 minutes for him, but left when he didn't answer his phone.

The no-show came a day after Manziel was confronted outside the Trump Soho in New York Friday night by the owner of the car rental agency who rented Manziel and pal Ryan Silverstein the Mercedes SUV that they crashed in April, according to TMZ.

The car rental owner, Wayne Schneider is trying to recoup $90,000 in damages to the mangled Mercedes, according to TMZ. He went to the NFL for help, and the league is investigating Manziel's role in the crash, TMZ reported. Manziel is also still under investigation by the NFL for his alleged assault against his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley. He faces a possible suspension under the NFL's personal conduct policy.

The latest incident comes on the heels of Manziel's friends telling TMZ that they're worried he's going to die if he doesn't get help soon for his substance abuse problems. They've confronted him and he didn't want to hear it, the site reported.

Manziel recently turned himself in in Dallas for the misdemeanor domestic violence charge against Crowley from their argument in February. The matter is still pending.

Manziel, the Browns first-round pick in 2014, has been out of football since the Browns waived him March 11.

Since that time, Manziel has been dumped by agent Drew Rosenhaus and by Nike.

But he said through his spokesperson Denise Michaels last month that he planned to play this season.

"I'm hoping to take care of the issues in front of me right now so I can focus on what I have to do if I want to play in 2016,'' Manziel said in a statement released by Michaels. "I also continue to be thankful to those who really know me and support me."

Manziel also defended himself on Twitter during draft weekend, when he took heat from a Cleveland sports radio host for how far he's fallen since his own draft day.
