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

[clyde21]

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.

yea, people are kind of missing this part for some reason.

she recorded him, baited him, weaponized his own child against him, got him to threaten her and instead of going to the police (which she would have if she REALLY felt threatened) she sells it to TMZ for a quick buck.

and ya'll want Cousins banned for this? give me a **** break. he shouldn't have said it, that should go without saying obviously, but to de-contexualize the situation does no one any good here.

I mean, looks like a start in a country with a insane gun and violence epidemic to draw a strong line at threats to shoot someone. And i couldnt care less what the woman (or anyone else) did or said etc.

And if Cousins wants to be an NBA player (and a public figure VIA the NBA) then its his damn JOB to hold certain standards. If he cant do it, then bye bye.

yea, banning Cousins from the NBA is what's gonna stop gun violence. ya'll definitely on the right track there.

Let's break this down If he's threatening to kill her then he probably made these threats in the past. He has all the power to call a hitman and end her life without getting his hands dirty and she can't do anything about it. Now that this video is out he'll be exposed if anything happens. Maybe she just wanted to protect her life.

No one is missing that part. Cousins didn't know he was being recorded, and the tape wasn't sold to TMZ yet as he was threatening to shoot the mother of his child in the head. None of this is relevant to Cousins' culpability or his blameworthiness.

But what is interesting - again - is that you focus on whether she "REALLY felt threatened". Are you saying it's okay to threaten to violently murder someone if they don't think you're being serious?

and, for the 16th time, no one is absolving Cousins of blame. should we try for 20th time for you to understand?

and no that's not what I am saying, i'm saying it speaks to her intentions. thought that was obvious but apparently I need to hold your hand through that as well.

You are going to have to hold my hand, because I cannot understand how you can say people are "ignoring context", cite your apparently erroneous understanding of what happened as a mitigating circumstance, and then say that you are not (in part) absolving Cousins.

[Collymore]

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

He's choked her. This is definitely ongoing.

More details, please!

Contexualizing is not absolving blame. not sure what/how you can't understand that. pretty straightforward.

The red herring you've set up. You keep insisting that your not "absolving" Cousins. What you really mean is that you're not "fully" absolving him (even though I've never actually seen you condemn him since you came in to post a defence). But the whole point of posting "context" is to actually lessen the amount he's blamed - to convince people he's not done as much wrong.

We can also get into how you're apparently just making stuff up to do it too, and haven't read the TMZ report. As to do it you're saying the ex didn't report this to the police (according to TMZ she did) and that she sold it to TMZ (according to TMZ they got it from the court file).

[DirtybirdGA]

I've even seen that locally about 2 times, the dad takes a new bride, and the son would be the in the wedding party but absent.

no, I mean i'm not absolving Cousins. he shouldn't have said that. pointblank. but context matters. just like how in murder trials context matters. it's the difference between murder and manslaughter. get it?

[Nate505]

Well, I had felt bad about his career before this.

[Pelon chingon]

Hey if Chris Brown can beat the dog ____ out of riri and still currently have a fully booked tour then surely we can just let this be blown away by the breeze.

[dlts20]

So now I'm seeing that Demarcus got married over the weekend and this whole conversation was because he wanted his kid at the wedding and she wouldn't let the kid go, yet yall support this hoe

[lamscott]

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.

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.

Hahaha. Werd.

oh look, you didnt get the point at all.

Well, his employee has a code of conduct. If he wants one of the rare jobs with his employee, then he has to follow this code. But looks like he cant, so....bye bye.

And it doesnt matter what you think about it or how the context matter when a public figure make death threats. Its how his employee feels about it.

[G35]

the fact that she KNOWS he would say something like that in itself speaks volumes about DeMarcus Cousins.

Says volumes about her no matter how much you trying to play Cap'n SAH.....

Grow up, you petulant child.

Right after you stop carrying a flag for women, they are grown and independent; they don't need you screaming your head off in their defense.....

The bitch had it coming - as it turns out - is not a recognized defence. This is why I am harping on this point.

The reasons a defence lawyer brings up context is, actually, to absolve the accused of some of the blame attaching to his or her conduct. You're taking the position of the defence lawyer, standing up for Cousin's conduct. You're doing it because you don't actually think it's that blameworthy (unless like an advocate he's actually laying you).

Lost in all of this - as I've said - is that you've rushed so quickly to defend Cousins that you've seemingly gotten all this context wrong: the ex reported it to the police and didn't sell it to TMZ (according to TMZ itself).

[NBAFan93]

There is a difference between having a poor relationship with your ex and threatening violence. I expect that the research would show that there is a correlation between uttering threats of violence to others - including but not limited to an ex - and violence directed towards children. I don't see why this wouldn't be a reason - or a factor - to take into account when determining custody and visitation rights. In fact, I am certain that it is a taken into account.

It's interesting to me that you find the ex to be "psychopathic" and that as far as I can tell this is the first time you've used that word, despite the fact that were talking about Cousins literally threatening bloody murder.

Because recording someone while you're talking about withholding his child from him so you can sell the tape to TMZ is psychotic. do you disagree?

and Cousins has a lot of anger issues he needs to resolve, this has been talked about on here and everywhere else ad nauseam, and he obviously shouldn't have taken it that far. not sure what else should be said about that. what do I need to say to prove my condemnation to you? should I call for the NBA to completely ban him? can I sit at the cool kids table then?

On the second point first: why don't we settle on you calling a man who threatened to murder the mother of his child by shooting her in the head psychopathic?

On the first point, I'm wondering why you say that she sold the tape to TMZ. According to what I have been able to find online she reported the issue to police.

TMZ reports that the source is a public court document:
"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."

Oh my. That article is pretty comprehensive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does jail time.

Could a mod clean all the "bitch" "hoe" etc?

Thank you

What size capes do you wear

[Lost Angel]

yikes

so if he’s found guilty does that mean the Lakers are off the hook for his 3.5m salary?

If he got suspended for a year, would he serve that after he came back from injury?

his career could be over
