And with the advent of social media, his sentencing can be handed out one comment and tweet at a time. Even after today’s news that Dez and his mother appeared together to refute the alleged act of family violence, checkout some of the recent responses Dez received on his official facebook after posting his first comment since the alleged incident:

Dez Bryant: “I’m about to go pick up this red velvet cake”
