Meyer spoke to the players of the Jaguars.

“I spoke to a bunch of leaders one on one, spoke to all the players, their good they were focused on Tennessee, and I apologized again for being a distraction, the coach should not be a distraction,” said Meyer.

He said he apologized to his family.

“Of course, I did. That’s not me. Oh yeah, they were upset,” said Meyer.

“Meanwhile, I am babysitting,” said Shelly on Twitter. She ended the tweet with hashtags “MyChoice” “MimiRules” “BuddyDeservedANightOut”.

Other accounts posted pictures of Meyer taking pictures with fans while out at the restaurant.

A second video surfaced Monday, Oct. 4, showing Meyer touching the woman’s backside at the restaurant in Ohio. Shad Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars said Meyer’s actions were inexcusable.

“I have addressed this matter with Urban,” said Khan. “He must regain our trust and respect. That will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents, or plays for our team. I am confident he will deliver.”

“I appreciate Urban’s remorse, which I believe is sincere.”

Meyer did not accompany his team back to Jacksonville after a 21-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, Sep. 30.

“I stayed to see the grandkids and we all went to dinner that night at a restaurant,” said Meyer. “There was a big group next to us and they all wanted to take pictures and they wanted to pull me out on the dance floor screwing around but I should’ve left.”

Shelley Meyer wrote on the subject on Twitter Thursday afternoon, after the 2nd video surfaced.

“We all make mistakes- we are all sinners. If you think you aren’t? then cast the stone. My wonderful followers/friends: THANK YOU,” said Shelly on Twitter. “For your love, support, friendship, laughs- I will miss this the most. I love you ALL and wish God’s blessings on you.”

Shelley later deleted her Twitter account.
