Greg Hardy denies ever hitting a woman as he remains unsigned in free agency.

Hardy was discussing the 2014 incident involving former girlfriend Nicole Holder in Charlotte, North Carolina, when he was a member of the Carolina Panthers, and denied he had ever hit her.

"I've never put my hand on any woman," Hardy said.

"In my whole entire life, no sir," he said, adding that he was raised never to hit a woman and that violence against his siblings -- brother or sister -- wasn't tolerated.

Hardy was accused by Holder of throwing her against a bathroom wall, throwing her on a bed covered with assault rifles, choking her and threatening her life during an altercation at his apartment.

Schefter pointed out to Hardy that pictures of Holder following the incident showed her with multiple bruises all over her body.

"Pictures are pictures, and they can be made to look like whatever they want to," he said. "I didn't say I didn't do anything wrong. That situation occurred and that situation was handled, but as a man you can't avoid situations that aren't your fault or are your fault," he said.

He was convicted on charges of domestic violence in 2014 in a bench trial by judge. The case was then appealed to a jury trial and was thrown out when Holder stopped cooperating.
