Jason Kidd's Divorce Twist: He's The Victim

2007_01_skidd.jpgForget the Nets' win against Toronto last night, the big Nets news was about Jason Kidd's personal life. In surprising news, Jason Kidd filed for divorce yesterday from Joumana, his wife of 10 years, citing extreme cruelty. This comes after he filed a domestic violence complaint against her on Monday for mistreating their three children. The Nets point guard is accusing his wife of "kicking, punching and throwing things at him, threatening to make false complaints, and even having tracking devices put in his cars and computers." The couple has been married for 10 years and has three children, their son T.J., 8, and twin daughters Miah and Jazelle, 5.

A few more details from The Post:

Kidd charges that his wife even recently used T.J. to "sneak into" the team's locker room to rifle through his belongings and dig up dirt on him.

On Dec. 27, she swiped his cellphone and then left the boy alone to take a front-row seat at the game - where she proceeded to openly taunt her husband with "personal insults," the court papers allege.

Kidd isn't the first to accuse Joumana of using T.J. to do her dirty work. Bob Ryan from the Boston Globe once accused Joumana of using T.J. as a prop in her courtside seats.

Jason Kidd previously had a run-in with the law while he was still with Phoenix Suns in 2001. In that dispute, it was Joumana that reported the abuse, accusing Jason Kidd of striking her in the face. While listening to the 911 call from the 2001 incident, you can hear Joumana Kidd saying "They're going to believe you J, they're going to believe you. You're right. You're right, no. I beat you up with a baseball bat too." Towards the end of the phone call, she tells the dispatcher, "Don't worry about me, this is minor compared to what I usually go through."

The couple looked so happy in their MTV Cribs episode. After Jason told Joumana about the divorce, Gothamist wonders if he told her, "Peace...and hair grease," like he did to all the MTV viewers.

Talk about Balloon tits...

 

we're all the victims of having to see them boobies

 

Those are some pretty fake breasts. The surgeon should be sued.

 

Could her breasts be any more conspicuously fake? I mean seriously does anyone find that attractive? Not this strait guy...

 

fake tits FTW! all of youse is faggots.

 

Um, yeah, disgusting breasts. Looks like two nerf balls stapled to her chest.

 

them are some ugly-ass titties

 

Can somebody explain why the cribs ep is so famous or infamous? I'm at work so I can't sees it.

 

Jason Kidd is not the only husband who was subjected to domestic violence. Studies show that violence against men is under-reported.
I wrote more about this in thedivorcereport.com
