Did Mr. Foster ever hit you?

“No sir.”

You lied because in your words you wanted to take him down?

“Yes sir (cries, grabs tissue).”

To ruin his career?

“Yes sir (cries).”

Because this breakup was final?

“Yes sir. I’m sorry. I apologize to everybody.”

On Thursday, Reuben Foster’s ex-girlfriend, Elissa Ennis, testified that she lied to police on Feb. 11 following incident because she “wanted to be extra, wanted him to go down and was pissed” after he broke up with her that morning, per Nick Wagoner.

“I was threatening Reuben. … that I was going to f*** up his career,” Ennis said, per Cam Inman.

Ennis added that she called 911 three times because: “I wanted to be extra. I wanted him to go down. I was pissed.”

When asked by the prosecution if Foster put his hands on her, Ennis answered: “No, sir. Not once.”

According to Ennis, “It was all a money scheme. I didn’t want to get this far in the news. It was about money.”

“I was lying about a bunch of stuff,” she said, per Matt Maiocco.

Ennis explained that she got in a fight with two women in San Francisco before coming home to Foster’s Los Gatos home and going to bed, per Evan Sernoffsky. In the morning, Foster broke up with her.

Nick Wagoner reports that Ennis testified at Foster’s preliminary hearing against the advice of her attorney Stephanie Rickard, who advised her to take advantage of her fifth amendment right not to incriminate herself.
