According to prosecutors, Moore, 39, entered the woman’s home without permission, grabbed two butter knives and a pair of scissors, and reportedly told her, “I’m going to kill myself. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.”
The former Wolverines coach has been charged with home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. The incident occurred shortly after he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. As per the New York Post, the home belonged to Paige Shiver, Moore's executive assistant, with whom he was reportedly involved earlier.
