Elissa Ennis plans to admit to falsely claiming to police that Foster hit her 10 times with a closed fist, dragged her down the stairs by her hair, and threw her out of his home three times. She previously said, through her attorney, that her injuries, including a swollen lip and ruptured eardrum, occurred in a fight with a woman. A video of that fight was given to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for review.
Foster pleaded not guilty last week to three felony charges of domestic violence.
Deputy district attorneys will have to decide whether they want to move forward with the case after Ennis denies her initial claims.
