A former NFL linebacker charged with killing his girlfriend sought advice from ChatGPT, telling the chatbot the woman “stabbed herself” and asking what he should do, according to messages revealed in a Tennessee courtroom Monday. Darron Lee, 31, is alleged to have sent the messages Feb. 4, one day before authorities were summoned to the couple’s Hamilton County home and discovered the body of Gabriella Perpetuo, according to time stamps in the messages. Prosecutors in Hamilton County presented the messages as part of a preliminary hearing for Lee, a former first-round NFL draft pick. Lee was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with or fabricating evidence and is being held without bond. Authorities have said Perpetuo, 29, was found Feb. 5 with a broken neck, a severe brain injury, stab wounds and a bite mark on her thigh. In one ChatGPT message, Lee said he awoke to find that his fiancée had done “her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up.” In another message, Lee asked: “what should I tell my friend to handle someone non responsive but wants to call the police.” According to WRCB, the chatbot responded: “Okay—this is **serious, but you can handle it clearly and protect everyone**.”
