The One Who He Loves
Moon married the former Felicia Fontenot Hendricks, who he had known since they were 16 years old, on March 8, 1981. In 1994, a former Vikings cheerleader accused Moon of sexually harassing her and the case was quickly settled out of court.[19] In 1995, Moon was arrested after a domestic violence incident with his wife at their home.[20] Moon was acquitted after his wife testified that she initiated the violence and that he was trying to restrain her.[21] They divorced in 2001 after not living together for 2 years prior to that.[22] They had 4 children together. Moon's daughter, Blair, was a member of Tulane's Women's Volleyball team. Moon married Mandy Ritter in 2005. They have a son together. Moon appeared in the film Any Given Sunday in a cameo role as the head coach from New York. On April 6, 2007, Moon was arrested for suspicion of DUI after being stopped for speeding in Kirkland, a suburb of Seattle. The charges were later reduced to first-degree negligent driving after Moon registered breath-alcohol levels of 0.068 and 0.067 at the police station in the hours following his arrest. Moon pleaded guilty to the negligent driving charge and was sentenced to 40 hours of community service, a $350 fine and drug and alcohol awareness classes.[23] In March 2011, Moon stepped back in the limelight while working as a "mentor" to Cam Newton, who became the Overall #1 2011 NFL Draft Pick to the Carolina Panthers. Moon publicly stated that Newton was being unfairly criticized for character flaws, lack of experience, and low football IQ and that the only reason that Newton was being targeted by football analysts and sports-writers was because he is African-American. |
