Despite attempts to clean up his "bad-boy" image, it appears that Nashville Predators forward Mike Ribeiro is back in the news for unsavoury reasons. According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Ribeiro’s former nanny is suing the Nashville center and his wife for alleged abuse stemming from an incident dating back to 2012. From the report: Ribeiro's accuser doesn't go into detail about the alleged incident ... only claiming she suffered unspecified injuries at the hands of the 35-year-old All-Star. The woman also claims ... after the alleged incident, Mike's wife verbally attacked her. Ribeiro is vehemently denying any wrongdoing. Ribeiro’s lawyer to TMZ: "My clients strongly deny these allegations." "We will defend the lawsuit fully. We anticipate the true facts will come out in due course." Ribeiro is enjoying a comeback season with the Preds' after a couple of unsuccessful years in Dallas and Washington. At age 35, Ribeiro has 52 points in 64 games this year. Ribeiro was known to have issues in the past, but claims he has been trying to get better. From USA Today: "My wife and I still go to therapy, and couples therapy. What couples do to get healthy, I'm doing it," Ribeiro said. "The main thing is to keep my children happy. For years I've been talking the talk, but children learn by seeing action and doing what you do. And that's what I do every day, to be a better dad and a better person, a better husband." We will have to see how the facts play out in this case.
