TMZ Sports has obtained court docs and a police report filed by DC's ex-girlfriend, Christy West -- claiming the NBA star threatened her on August 23, just one day before Cousins was set to marry his new girlfriend, Morgan Lang, in Atlanta.

From what we know so far, I can understand why he would be mad but he went too far with the threat.

It's funny but these aren't the first threats Cousins has ever made publicly. I watched a video of him threatening a reporter in the Kings locker room.

It was an older guy, over a foot shorter and Cousins was all in his face. What was funny was that many people on this board defended Cousins because people do not like the media and how they interact with athletes.

Here's the link, it was Andy Furillo a Sac Bee reporter.

Now add to that picture this: Cousins angrily jabbing a finger into Furillo’s face, shouting in a profane and threatening manner, because of a column The Bee published last weekend. Cousins then refused to talk to any reporters in the post-game interview while Furillo was in the room. That’s a tactic he’s employed before when he’s angry about coverage, and it is behavior aimed at controlling and censoring the media.

I don't like Cousins, but I have been in this situation, and women get all the benefit of the doubt. Even when they accuse you of something and its not true, nothing happens to them. For men, we have to be the bigger person and walk away from the situation, women can act anyway they want and there are minimal repercussions. This is not going to go well for Cousins no matter what the truth is......

How long will he be suspended?
Cut him and sign Carmelo

I don't know if that woman is a gold-digger using the kid as leverage and to make money via TMZ.
I don't know if Cousins is a deadbeat dad who isn't there the rest of the year, only to boldly demand his kid for photo ops at a wedding.

But I do know that the threat is a bad look in today's environment.
And that Cousins has said or done a lot of dumb things in his career... that tend to dissuade me from giving him the benefit of the doubt.

i think almost everyone in this thread said that Cousins shouldn't have said that, obviously...it's not a good look, but if this is what I think it is, I get the frustration...especially everything he's been thru the last couple of years. and it wouldn't be the first time one of these gold digging hood rats leverages the children.

Maybe

[clyde21]

Yeah she might be a scumbag too.

I know I've also never threatened someone's life before...so...

this just in: not everyone controls their emotions as well as you.

Ohhh, I can't wait for you to accuse me of virtue-signalling because I don't threaten to kill people.

i'm not accusing you of anything, I just don't expect everyone to control their emotions the same exact way...it's something that he has always had trouble with, and I guarantee you she knows that and used it to her advantage (which is why she recorded the convo in the first place)

especially now after everything he's gone thru the last couple of years, give me a break.

Sure. But you're making an assumption there.

Let's say Cousins hasn't seen that kid for 9 months. Missed his birthday. Missed Christmas. Then demands him to be sent to be with him two days before a wedding.

I'm not saying that it's true. But it could be. I don't know. You don't know.

[Note: Your anger toward "gold-digging hood rats" is palpable.]

yes, we do know, it's called social media, I follow him on social media and I've seen him with his kid and he seems like a great dad....

what we DO know is that she leveraged their kid, refusing to let him see him ON HIS OWN WEDDING DAY and proceeded to RECORD the conversation and then sell it to TMZ.

1. That's great if he's actively involved with his kid. I think deadbeat fathers is a legit problem in our country.
2. I hope we're not judged as parents by social media. Doesn't parenting go beyond that (photos and random quick videos)... just a bit? I mean, the person posting on social media does get to control any narrative they want to share... whether it's as an influencer, a thug, a righteous virtue-signaler or as a solid dad.
3. So I will repeat... neither of us really know.

It's jacked up. I saw the hoops my ex had to jump through to get her kid's father to actually acknowledge his kid's existence. He was constantly changing the drop off location, not showing up, ignoring court orders, stashing money away so he wouldn't have to pay child support. Just a **** human being. Seems like Cousins wants to play a role in his kid's life but this broad is making it more difficult.

C’mon. A few social media posts w/ your kid doesn’t make you a great dad. None of us knows the background of this situation. The only clear thing is he threatened to kill her by shooting her in the head.

[badass316]

Sounds like she set him up for a quick payday and to get a little get back for marrying another chick. She elicited a reaction out of him, recorded it, and then sold it.

okay, what's your point? what does that have to do with this woman weaponizing the kid, withholding him from attending his own father's wedding, and proceeding to record their conversation and sell the tape to TMZ?

yes, he shouldn't have threatened her, but everyone knows the dude has trouble keeping in his emotions in check and I bet you she knows that better than most, which is why she recorded the convo in the first place.

[zimpy27]

The real loser from this is the kid, doesn't get to see his father, being used as a pawn, father threatening mother, the problems are made public.

It seems like Cousins is the better parent but enacts violence on women. Cousins will lose more custody and I can see the child growing to despise his mother for this as he gets older. Feels like everyone loses.

[MagicBagley18]

i love all the posts in here about ''low life gold digging woman'' like even if that was true it's ok to threaten them by shooting them in the head. grow up

[MrDollarBills]

I'm not going to get into what the woman is doing with his son. What he said there and did is 100% unacceptable. Period.

The Lakers need to waive him. Today.

I don't know what actually happened the other 99.99999999999999% of the time when that call wasn't happening.

I don't know if there was a recent incident that made the mom balk at sending her kid with Cousins. I don't know if she's a money-grubbing hoodrat.

We could each come up with possibilities... but to declare any of them to be true with legit conviction reveals more about us... than the Cousins vs. Mom debacle. Because we simply don't know.

Parenting squabbles are probably pretty complicated when couples aren't together, even among wealthy millionaire athletes and their baby mamas.

There's a difference between someone 'controlling their emotions' and threatening someone's life. The moment you threaten someone's life, it should be widely and unilaterally condemned. Even if he 'doesn't actually mean it'.

[zimpy27]

Anyway, let's keep this topic relevant to basketball as it could be big news for Cousins career.

What sort of penalty will Cousins get?

Will/should the Lakers let him go?

[ATLTimekeeper]

No sympathy for someone with ample resources to seek help for their anger issues. A great dad does everything they can to set an example for their child, no matter how painful the trial they are enduring at the time. The NBA and the NBAPA should launch an investigation here and if it's indeed Cousins he should be suspended.

so your entire point is that we don't know the full story? no ****. of course we don't know the full story.

what we do know is she withheld his kid from going to his father's wedding, proceeded to record their conversation knowing fully well DeMarcus is volatile and then sold the tape to TMZ for $.

i don't need to know their entire history to know that she's shady af.
