Mark Sanchez’s Ex Breaks Silence on Arrest: “None of This Is Surprising”
Bobby T, the mother of Mark Sanchez’s 8-year-old son, has opened up publicly following the former NFL quarterback’s recent arrest, revealing her focus remains on their child, Daniel, amid a situation that has shaken many.
A Mother’s Perspective
Model and entrepreneur Bobby T (real name Erin Campaneris) shared her first statement on the matter via Instagram on Sunday, October 12. She made clear that while she is aware of the serious charges facing her ex, her priority has always been protecting Daniel.
“My foremost priority has always been, and remains, our eight-year-old son, Daniel. I chose to remain silent publicly to protect Daniel,” she wrote.
Her words reflect both concern and resolve, as she navigates the difficult balance between public scrutiny and safeguarding her child.
Responding to the Arrest
Bobby described learning about Sanchez’s arrest the same way most of the public did — through a news alert on her phone, while sitting next to Daniel.
“Like everyone else, I learned of the horrific event through a news alert on my phone while sitting next to Daniel. I still know only what is publicly available. My thoughts and empathy are with the victim and everyone affected by this devastating event. It has created a wide ripple effect, touching many lives,” she said.
Despite the shock of the news, she emphasized that she was not entirely surprised by the incident and has long been mindful of what her son is exposed to.
“Now that everything is out in the open, my focus hasn’t changed. I have always been concerned for [Daniel’s] safety and for what he is exposed to. Sadly, none of this is surprising to me,” she wrote.
Her statement underscores the emotional toll such events can take on families, particularly children, and the careful steps parents take to protect them in the public eye.
The Incident Involving Mark Sanchez
The 38-year-old former NFL quarterback was arrested following a stabbing incident in Indianapolis on October 4. Reports indicate Sanchez was in the city to call a Colts game against the Las Vegas Raiders the following day.
Authorities say Sanchez allegedly became involved in an altercation with 69-year-old truck driver Perry Tole in a downtown alley, resulting in serious injuries for both men.
“Detectives believe this was an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence,” the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department stated.
Sanchez faces one felony charge — battery resulting in serious bodily injury — and three misdemeanors: battery resulting in bodily injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication endangering another. He was released from the hospital and booked into Marion County Jail on Sunday morning.
Maintaining Focus on Daniel
Amid the legal proceedings, Bobby T’s statement is a reminder of how parents must prioritize their children’s well-being even during public crises. She has consistently sought to shield Daniel from unnecessary exposure while navigating the fallout of Sanchez’s actions.
“My foremost concern has always been and remains Daniel,” she said. “In the midst of everything happening, I am focused on creating a safe, stable environment for him.”
Her statement also acknowledges the ripple effect that such incidents have on extended family, friends, and the broader community.
Looking Ahead
While the criminal process unfolds, Bobby T’s message is clear: her child’s safety and emotional stability come first. Her approach highlights the human side of high-profile legal incidents, showing how families navigate fear, public scrutiny, and concern for loved ones.
“This is a difficult time, but protecting Daniel is my guiding principle,” she wrote, offering a glimpse into the careful attention she gives to parenting under extraordinary circumstances.
