LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: From the outset of FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, the show seeks to portray Aaron as someone who unintentionally falls into self-destructive behavior. Created by Stu Zicherman, the sports drama delves deeper into the turbulent personal life of NFL superstar Aaron Hernandez. While the show expertly depicts the hidden aspects of Aaron's life, it is strongly indicated that Aaron's anguish at being unable to be with Chris Taylor (Jake Cannavale) leads to his erratic decisions.

However, no matter what problems Aaron was facing, his fiancée Shayanna Jenkins (Jaylen Barron) has always been there for him without expectations or conditions. But, the new parents eventually engaged in a heated argument, causing the fight to escalate.

In a heated dispute, Shayanna accuses him of adultery with another woman, which enrages Aaron and causes him to hit a vase, scaring Shayanna.

However, things quickly escalate when cops arrive at Aaron's doorstep and ask Shayanna whether she feels comfortable.
