Sherrone Moore’s ex-assistant and mistress said the former Michigan football coach had “complete control” over her during their affair, which ended in his firing and arrest.
“Here’s a man that had complete control over me, over my emotions, over my career — and he knew that and he used it, he used it against me,” Paige Shiver said in an interview set to air on ABC News on Friday.
“Every time I tried to pull away, every time I tried to get out of even Michigan, he always had a story, always had a way to pull me in … in making me feel that I couldn’t leave him because he was so miserable without me,” Shiver revealed.
Moore, 40, was promptly fired in December after Shiver, 32, turned in evidence of their affair to the school and broke up with the married father of three.
He was arrested at Shiver’s home after barging in, grabbing her butter knives and scissors and threatening to use them to kill himself, telling her “My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.”
The ex-coach faced prison time but was instead sentenced earlier this month to 18 months probation.
