Well I'll just say this. Her posting this on Twitter is unfortunately sad for the kids as the family drama is now public. I'm sure they don't need that kind of distraction. I hope this gets resolved legally and privately so this family can move on and we can enjoy the topic that brings us together here, and that's Raptors Basketball.

I have no idea what to make of this story, particularly when taking into account the tweets from Griffin's daughter.

What I do know is for the facts first crowd, it kind of undermines your point when you refer to her as a gold digger.

Also, if, with everything that has gone on in the past several months, you muse about why a black woman would be hesitant to go to the Police, I really don't know what to say to you.

In closing, defund those racist pigs.

Odd timing. She's obviously looking to get paid

“She should go to the police”.

Holy ****, do some of you even know what the **** all the hoopla is about down south of the border?

We need to add a technical foul button to the board so we can let people know how idiotic their posts are without having to quote it again in a reply.

this has probably been the worst thread i have ever seen on this board in over 10 years here. so much knee-jerk misogynistic bs from so many posters. so few people willing to actually try to understand what a woman who has been physically abused and gaslighted actually experiences, regardless of the facts of this particular case. so few men willing to believe a black woman yet who also insist that black men should be believed when they share their stories of discrimination and abuse at the hands of systemic oppressors. just sad. worse than sad. makes me pretty angry actually. i wonder how many of the boys and men on this board who are so antagonistic towards Griffin's ex are in happy and fulfilling relationships with women themselves. not very many i would guess.

Ok but you don't know if anything she said was true. People lie, and people lie on the internet. Right now, there's no evidence other than her word and his.

Noone else has yet to allege any misconduct on the part of Mr. Griffin. If other victims come out with similar and unconnected stories, then we can establish a pattern of behavior and act upon it. Until then, let the courts handle it, if she has evidence of his abuse, like she says she does, then allow the courts to proceed. I don't believe in cancelling people based on accusations (from one person) alone. It sets a dangerous precedent.

Man this is some bad news. Adrian has denied all the allegations. Hopefully this can be concluded quickly. Venting this out in the open does not always have its benefits. If true, he should pay the piper regardless of where he coaches.

Hopefully no substance to these allegations.

Exactly. The only knee-jerking going on are the folks wanting Griffin to be cancelled over some oddly-timed allegations. Have we learned nothing from the Blasey Ford sham? Remember, innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

I actually think on balance the majority of posts are fair and impartial, urging for a legal investigation prior to judgement. The minority voice should not be masqueraded as anything other than what it is.

You're really going to bring Kavanaugh into this?

That man isn't fit for the bench. He's EXACTLY why so many of those claiming to want to 'wait for the evidence' are lying hypocrites - he shouldn't have been confirmed nearly so quickly.

Any time any social issue is brought up here I have to wonder why I post here

I’m not implying Adrian is guilty but anyone rushing to portray this woman as a gold digger is showing their true feelings that there is nothing she could say to make you believe a woman

It would be nice if everyone’s smug superiority about our city would be predicated on being less ignorant
