Charlotte Hornets star Miles Bridges was charged with three felony domestic violence counts in Los Angeles, authorities said Tuesday.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced the charges weeks after Bridges was arrested following an incident in West Los Angeles in late June.

"Domestic violence creates physical, mental and emotional trauma that has a lasting impact on survivors," Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon said in a news release. "Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable. Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process."

The Hornets or Bridges’ representatives didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Mychelle Johnson, the mother of Bridges’ two children, addressed the incident on Instagram on July 1, posting several pictures of injuries and a medical report that read "adult victim of physical abuse by male partner; Assault by strangulation, Brain concussion; Closed fracture of nasal bone; Contusion of rib; Multiple bruises; Strain of neck muscle."

Johnson added in a separate Instagram post: "I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life. I have nothing to prove to the world,
