“Teen Mom 2” star Nathan Griffith is facing serious allegations after his sister made a distressed 911 call, claiming that he had attacked her and attempted to strangle her. The incident occurred on July 12 in Las Vegas, and TMZ obtained audio of the frantic phone call.
In the 911 call, Griffith’s sister can be heard begging for help as she tells the dispatcher that her brother had tried to strangle her and fled the scene in his car. She was clearly terrified and feared for her life. It is disturbing to hear someone in such distress, especially within a family dynamic.
According to the police report, the responding officers noticed visible red marks on the sister’s neck and eyelids, which are consistent with strangulation. She told them that Nathan had grabbed her by the throat, pushed her to the floor, and got on top of her. These details paint a grim picture of the violence that unfolded.
Despite the sister informing the dispatcher that Nathan had left, when the police arrived at the scene, he was still outside the home, yelling and denying any involvement in the incident. The officers took him into custody and charged him with battery by strangulation. It is troubling to think about the level of denial and aggression displayed by the accused.
In addition to the 911 call discussing the alleged strangulation, TMZ also obtained another call made by Griffith’s sister earlier in which she reported that he was following her around the house and making threats. In this call, it is possible to hear him in the background, further suggesting a pattern of abusive behavior.
The 911 calls are not the only alarming aspect of this case. Reports indicate that on his way to the Clark County Jail, Nathan made suicidal statements, which led to additional concern for his mental state. It’s important to recognize the emotional toll that incidents like this can have on both the victims and the accused.
This is not the first time Nathan Griffith has faced legal trouble related to domestic violence. He shares a child with “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans and has previous arrests for domestic violence and domestic battery by strangulation. These patterns of behavior raise serious questions about the need for intervention and support in his life.
It is essential to highlight cases like Nathan’s to shed light on the ongoing issue of domestic violence and the need for education and resources to prevent such incidents from occurring. Domestic violence affects people from all walks of life, regardless of fame or fortune.
These distressing incidents serve as a reminder that no one is immune to the devastating consequences of domestic violence. It is crucial that both victims and perpetrators have access to the help they need to break the cycle of abuse and find healthier ways to resolve conflicts.

By discussing these issues openly and raising awareness, we hope to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding domestic violence and promote a safer society for all.
