Le’Veon Bell is putting his New York Jets tenure back under the microscope, and this time, the former All-Pro running back is making explosive allegations about ex-head coach Adam Gase.

During an appearance on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast, Bell accused Gase of using cocaine during their time together with the Jets. Bell, who signed with New York in 2019 after sitting out the previous NFL season in a contract standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers, described Gase as “the dumbest coach ever” before alleging that the coach was doing things in his office that “coaches ain’t supposed to be doing.”

When Laboy pushed him to explain, Bell said “white girl,” a slang term for cocaine, then made a snorting gesture. Laboy reacted in disbelief, but Bell doubled down, saying he had personally witnessed it.

“I’m like, bro, I ain’t just walk in the office and see my coach [do cocaine],” Bell said. “We’re about to go to practice, bro! We got practice in 28 minutes. We got a walk-through, bro. This is what you’re doing in here?”

Bell also claimed it was not an isolated incident. “Not just once, though,” he continued. “It wasn’t just one time. That’s what it did, though. Everybody knows that. That’s what he did. But it was just crazy to me to actually see him doing it. I heard all the stories and sh*t.”
