Mark Sanchez’s Ex, and the Mother of His Son, Breaks Her Silence on His Arrest: ‘None of This Is Surprising to Me’

Model Bobby T, whose real name is Erin Campaneris, has broken her silence after the arrest of her ex-partner, former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez. The two share an 8-year-old son named Daniel.

“I am aware of the serious criminal charges currently facing my son’s father, Mark Sanchez,” Bobby said in a statement posted to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Oct. 12. “My foremost priority has always been, and remains, our eight-year-old son, Daniel. I chose to remain silent publicly to protect Daniel.”

She added that she was not surprised by the recent developments.

“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.

Bobby continued, “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 concluded, “I understand that we live in a very public world, but my hope is that as my son grows, he can be seen and understood apart from this story. At the end of the day, I’m simply a mama to a very sweet young boy doing my best to protect his peace. Thank you for the compassion so many have shown toward Daniel and me.”

Sanchez, 38, was released from the hospital and booked into jail on Sunday morning following an Oct. 4 stabbing incident in Indianapolis.

He had been in the city to call the Colts vs. Raiders game on Oct. 5. The night before, he allegedly got into an altercation with 69-year-old truck driver Perry Tole in a downtown alley. The confrontation reportedly ended with both men hospitalized with serious injuries.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), “Detectives believe this was an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence.”

Sanchez now 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 the life of another.

Local outlet Fox 59 reported that Sanchez was booked into the Marion County Jail.
