The wife of New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie took to social media and posted videos on Instagram after she was pulled over for 'driving while black' in Madison, New Jersey, on Friday.

Terricka Cromartie was stopped around 11.30am in the town of about 16,000, which is located just over 30 miles away from where the Jets play their home games in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Cromartie assumed the officer stopped her because of the color of her skin and wrote he pulled her over for 'no reason' so he could ask her to roll down her windows and ask why she was in Madison.

In the video Cromartie posted on Instagram, the officer, who was white, said he was 'just curious' what she was doing in Madison but that she did not have a legal obligation to tell him.

The officer asked Cromartie why she was in town

Cromartie has been married to her husband since 2010 and he signed a $32million contract to return to the Jets after spending time with the Arizona Cardinals, the New York Post reported.

She posted another video of her reaction to the traffic stop with the caption: 'Driving while Black... I'm thankful to be able to even make this message so many weren't as luck[y].

'But how do you deal with a police office who are simply just harassing you.'

In the video itself, Cromartie said: 'So apparently, you can't be black, you can't drive a nice car in Madison, at 11:30 in the morning.

'I mean, who cares if you just came from the nail shop, you didn't get a ticket, the police let you go and say, 'have a nice day,' like that's OK?'

Cromartie's cornerback husband is known for fathering ten children with eight women in six states.

The Jets are off to a surprising 2-0 start after a rough offseason that saw starting quarterback Geno Smith go down with a broken jaw after being hit in the face by a teammate in the locker room.
