TMZ: "DeMarcus Cousins Allegedly Threatening to Shoot Baby Mama Before Wedding"

[MrDollarBills]

He's been through 2 years of injury, he's missed his big payday, he's had anger issues, he's threatened violence, he's emotionally hit rock bottom and his a high-profile star in the league.

The big win from all of this is making him a rejuvenation project so he can become a role model to others with anger issues. If you ban him then he may go down a dark path and take his family with him. I'm not talking about money.

You can't just suspend him and bring him back without him dealing with his anger issues. It needs to be about helping him with the anger issues and letting him play as long as he sees people about it and enrols in programs.

If being out of basketball is going to lead him down a dark path it was well going to happen before this was made public.

I agree that he needs to seek counseling for his anger issues. But he has to be the one to make that step for him and his family's sake.

Guys who easily make threats like that are abusers. I really am finding a hard time being empathetic towards him. As I stated in another post, I've had people killed by men who behaved exactly like this and from my personal opinion this isn't a teachable moment, but an opportunity to show that the NBA takes violence against women very seriously and will hold players to account.

I don't think you have to be empathetic for him, my empathy is aligned with their child. Just thinking of the best solution for him.

True. Very true.

This hoe probably has made life extremely hard for Cousins, from the state sanctioned theft called child support to just generally being a bitch and making life difficult. I'm not saying Boogie should have threatened her like that, but he's likely in a very inevitable position.

[TDotJon]

he obviously has anger management issues.

[BVB24]

sounds like the broad was withholding his child from him, definitely shouldn't have said that but I get the frustration...these nasty ass hood rats always using children as a meal ticket.

Bingo. Shouldn’t have said it obviously but I 100% understand his frustration. These women out here are trifling on another level these days. I can’t even imagine what he pays that money-grubbing thot in alimony. She baits him, secretly records him, and then quickly sells the tape to TMZ for a quick payday instead of going to the police like she would if she actually felt threatened. She’s trash. With that said, Cousins is dumb for knocking her up in the first place. These guys never learn.

[TDotJon]

this is all cousins fault. he's rich, can plan his wedding whenever he wants. should have planned it on a day he had visitation for his son. if he didn't plan his wedding to accomodate his son's visitation then his son missing the wedding is on him.

what's the legality of being recorded without knowing in Alabama?

Single party consent, so she can do it if that's where she was.

It's illegal in California, though.

I'm sure selling the clip to TMZ hurts her chances of actually using it.

Whelp, assuming it's true, his career is over. There are some lines you don't cross.

Jeezus. The comments are here have to some of most uneducated comments I've ever read. Nobody knows the situation so I wouldn't assume and spew out anything. She could be the bad one, he could be the bad one, neither of them, or the Kid may not want to go?

Family drama is the worse.

[ATLTimekeeper]

says who? can you name me a single incident he had with his child in which he couldn't control his anger?

I don't have to. His kid is vulnerable to someone that can't control their temper.

seems to be vulnerable too with a conniving mom that is willing to use him for her own agenda.

and plenty of dads are **** towards their exes but are good with their kids, gtfo. it's a completely different dynamic.

I'll take a conniving mom over a dad that threatens to murder someone in explicit detail His anger issues aren't relegated strictly to this woman, though. Dynamics change but the constant is that he struggles to control his temper. It doesn't appear to me that he's currently getting treatment, and if he isn't then that's even more reason to be concerned for the child.

[packforfreedom]

maybe some context:

there are apprx 400.000 homicides per year all over the world. at least 50.000 of those are women killed by a partner, ex partner or family member.

So you better take those kind of threats serious and if you guys don't have a better idea than insulting the mother or women in general, yeah it makes you a bad person and the world would be better off without you.

No. You're wrong.

She is a conniving hoe, stupid broad looking for a payday. He's just a great dad wanting to be a great dad on his wedding day.

That's 100% truth. Or, at least until the conniving, evil stupid hoe broad #$%%# lets me in to her social media channels so I can accurately judge her parenting skills. Maybe there's a picture of her and the kid eating ice cream or something that could change my mind.

again, the way he treats his clearly psychopathic ex is not indicative how he treats/will treat his son. there are plenty of fathers who have terrible relationships with their exes who are perfectly fine fathers in their own right.

and if you are on a crusade to take away the kids of all fathers who have semblances of anger issues, good luck with that. i'm sure that will help them with their anger issues.

[NY 567]

The fact that, instead of going straight to the authorities in fear of her life, she went and sold it to TMZ shows you that she knew she wasn't in any danger whatsoever and was baiting him. She's a gold digging parasite, nothing more.

We do not exactly know the situation, but we do know what he said to her. That comment is indefensible, so why shouldn't people point that out and condemn this kind of behavior? What more knowledge do you need for that?

you have extreme racial undertones in your posts, no need to throw a tempter tantrum now to hide it.

Why should I be concerned with what's best for the father's anger issues? That's another threat I can see why you're struggling to take the obvious correct moral stance here. He deserves a punishment and zero sympathy.

[TheNewEra]

Imagine if this turns into a court case and the league has to suspend him ? This really could be it for him

[LeMasta]

its not looking good for cousins... especially if she's even ready to record him. He's probably been making similar threats in the past

Ok.

At least now I know (for certain) that you're trolling. Carry on...
