The former girlfriend of former Miami Dolphins offensive line coach spoke out about his cocaine habit and why the model decided to expose the NFL coach to the public.
Las Vegas dancer Kijuana Njie gave an interview to Dan LeBatard on ESPN Radio Wednesday morning, describing her relationship with Chris Foerster, who resigned from the team Monday morning after a video of him snorting a white powder off a desk surfaced on Facebook the night before.
The Miami Herald reported about the interview on Wednesday, in which Nije said her and Foerster were “dating” and the coach had asked her to move to Miami. She said the coach used her as a “cocaine platter” and said he had a serious drug problem.
She also said Foerster threatened her if she were to expose him or share the video with the public, which made her fear for her life.
“He basically sent me a message saying anything I planned to do or tried to harm him will be turned over to his job’s security team,” Njie said Wednesday. “After he sent the video, he came off his high and low-key kind of threatened me if I ended up exposing the information. Before he could do anything to me, I felt that needed to be exposed. Just in case I somehow pop up dead, that story was still going to get out.”
Nije went into more detail about Foerster’s drug habit and their relationship, saying they met when the Dolphins were practicing in Oxnard, California, while the team was practicing to play the Los Angeles Chargers in September.
“He was calling for entertainment,” she said. “He did mention he wanted to party. We met multiple times. Chris Foerster used me as his cocaine platter…. I was dating him.”
Nije stressed that it was not a new habit for Foerster and alleged that he kept cocaine with him at work. She was asked if any other Dolphins coaches were involved.
“This is a regular habit of his anywhere he goes,” she said. “Doesn’t matter if they’re in Miami or London or New York. I was invited everywhere they went. Everywhere they went he sent me other footage. That is not the only piece of footage. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. He was doing it at his desk. He was at his Miami office.”
The model reiterated that her goal in exposing Foerster is to show how white privilege is prevalent in this country and how a wealthy white man in the NFL can do things like this. She said she wanted to “expose the inequalities in the system.”
“My motive was to basically expose the inequalities in the system,” she said. “It’s not just the NFL. The inequalities that come with being a minority compared with a white privileged person in America in general. This is shining light on the inequalities we have as a country. We don’t get paid the same amount as everyone else.”
Foerster said he would seek help for his drug habit in a statement when he resigned. It isn’t clear what Nije will do next, though she said she has move photos and videos of Foerster she could release to the public. It’s been a weird season in the NFL already, and for the Dolphins it appears it can only get weirder.
