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

[freethedevil]

I think it was just talk from a guy who clearly has problems controlling his emotions/temper.

I'm sorry but f*ck his babymoms... it's the man's wedding and she's not letting his child be a part of a huge moment in his life

His child isn't obliagated to entertain him. You should feel sorry you think otherwise. The last paragraph is tabloid level assumption so it's not worth addressing.

demarcus is in the wrong for snapping, but the baby mama is just as in the wrong here and there should be severe consequences for her actions. women do this **** daily and get away with it because of laws favouring women.

unless she can prove to the court that cousins is a bad father, then she should suffer some sort of consequences.

don't quote me if you're a female or a beta male.

Alpha here. You're a moron.

if you have to call yourself an alpha male, you're most definitely not one.

beta man, sit the f down.

look, you don't gotta be alpha or beta to know or understand that Boogie shouldn't have said this ****, and it's probably warranted that she files a restraining order against him

but you also don't need to be an alpha or beta to understand that **** gets said in crummy situations like this and it looks like she was using the boy to bait and sabotage's boogie's wedding day

both of these thoughts can be had at the same time, it's not either **** or

family law aside, the threat needs to be investigated properly by the police to determine if there's an actual threat and lay the appropriate charges if the victim chooses to do so.

odd that she released the tape a few days after the wedding (which will come up in the investigation). she's clearly mad she won't be riding his dick anymore. bitter ass woman be happy with your child support and be civil with your ex. the child suffers most at the end of the day.

don't quote me if you're a female or a beta male.

oops, i quoted you. what are you gonna do about it alpha dog

People like you are the reason disgusting men get away with abuse and rape in this god forsaken culture. I hope one day you manage to look inward at the insecurities you're desperately trying to mask behind your very strong alpha misogynist persona

both rape and abuse are wrong, i've been indirectly affected by BOTH. so sit the **** down.

i'm just saying that both parties need to be heard equally, which is what some of you can't grasp. cousins' threats need to be investigated but so do her actions for being a petty "mother" on his big day.

That’s fair enough. As far as the comparison I’m just saying until it’s shown that Boogie had the money or moves in place to go for the kill it was a stupid emotional outburst.

[mademan]

If you really believe that threats aren't classified as assault then honestly don't know what to you tell you.

He could defend with lack of intent but it is 100 percent a crime that can be brought to court. And I don't care about how many people threaten to kill each other every day. It's immaterial to the law.

I'll spell it for ya since you seemingly dont know how to goggle. Intent is the entire case. For it to be a crime, they'd have to prove that Cousins has real intent to kill her. A 5 second outburst in a heated moment does not intent make.

Forget it though, this threads been derailed about it not being a crime enough.

You may be right that this is not a crime in Alabama but I would ask if you have it for the reference in their criminal code. In Canada as I understand it the essence of the blameworthy conduct is not the intent to kill but rather the fear and terror caused by the threat. That is the root of the punishment even if you don't ever intend to go through with it. It only matters that you said it.

Ya, the US takes free speech further than almost every other 1st world country. i think theyre the only ones who have it codified in their constitution (or equivalent for other count). The crime is named intimidation. The crucial aspect of the crime is that there has to be a reasonable suspicion that it will be carried out. A 1 time convo where he utters the threat in a moment of anger would not lead a reasonable observer to believe that he's going to buy a gun and put bullets in her head.

[idonk]

i can understand his anger but threatening to put a bullet in someones head is a little too much

Admitting making an assumptions about the victim here was stupid would be a nice start.

Is it true that she didnt let Cousins take his son to his wedding? Im not sure if its rumour or verified

Does it matter?

Cousins isn't entitled to his son appearing at his wedding.

Yes. And Yes. It colours the entire convo/interaction.

If you are talking about this legally, what Cousins did is not a crime in the US. If you are talking about this morally, everybody in this picture is a POS. Stopping a dad from having his kid for his wedding is a huge azzhole move.

it's only an azzhole move if the kid wanted to go and it wasn't against the kids interest to do that. Since you don't know that, you should stopp trying to falsely equate dmc and his ex here.

Im not equating anything. I asked if DMC's baby mama stopped their kid from going to his wedding. You implied it didnt matter. I answered that it did, and you switched it up to "WELL YOU DONT KNOW WUT HAPPENED".

And miss me with the 'what if the kid didnt wanna go' chit. Even if true, he's a kid. He has no choice in the matter.

Wtf are you even talking about?!?! lol

"Entertain him"?!

Who the hell said anything about being entertainment. It's completely normal for people to want their FAMILY to be a part of a special moment.

He wasn't upset because his child refused to come perform a cover of Michael Jackson for everyone lol. He's upset the MOTHER DENIED (keywords - NOT the child, the mother) and did not ALLOW his child to be a part of a special moment for DeMarcus. It's quite obvious by HER (not the child) actions waiting to record his response (provide any rational reason she would do so, I'll wait). The child is being USED by the mother against Cousins so miss me with that noise.

taking into account the months of planning and pics and vid from the wedding, it looked like he spent a fortune and had all his famous celeb athlete friends in attendance there as well. pretty sure he wanted his offspring there to enjoy the momentous occasion as well, she's probably been recording everything he says for a while baiting and waiting for him to fly off the handle, as she isnt the lucky bride this was the perfect storm to capture him at a low point, a week after a acl tear ending his season and his big elaborate wedding a week later and u dont want to let his son be apart of it, yeah she's a vile woman. and he said what i'd expect him to say with all things considered he's not exactly a choir boy.

So he spent months planning this elaborate wedding and didn’t have time or money to get an attorney to figure out or do what was necessary to make sure his son could be there in the event that his bitter baba mama (who I assume had custody of the kid during the weekend in question) tried to not allow him go? Just sounds like getting the kid may have been an afterthought or there is already some type of situation where he doesn’t have custody or visitation at all and the lawyer couldn’t do anything about it.

And I’m sure these threats he made aren’t going to help his case for seeing his kid more often.

[clyde21]

And you have no reason to assume that.

Just like your shouldn’t assume the threat wasn’t just heat of the moment we need more information all around.

I don't need to make any assumptions, because it doesn't matter what motivated the threat, the threat was a crime and clearly wrong. It doesn't matter if it was pre-meditated or in the heat of the moment. Your false equivalency is false.

you're arguing against strawmen, if anyone here said that what Boogie said/did wasn't wrong, please show us.

in your effort to try and prove how self righteous you are, you're not even reading the thread.

Cousins isn't entitled to his son appearing at his wedding.

and, as far as we know, she's not entitled to keep his son away from him, either.

Alpha here. You're a moron.

if you have to call yourself an alpha male, you're most definitely not one.

beta man, sit the f down.

Enjoy strike three, seven days should cool you down, Alpha Chadington.

Using the word beta automatically makes you a beta

Guess I dug my own grave on this one

When Russ went off on that fan in Utah, and he said he would f*** him and his wife up, he was understandably extremely angry and felt disrespected and violated. Of course everyone knew he wouldn't hit a woman. So you want to say the same thing about Boogie. Cause I personally don't believe he would resort to that. But, the huge difference is that Russ said that complete strangers in front of over 19,000 people in public, and in front of cameras. Boogie said this in private, with his ex, who he's had issues with in the past. And we've seen domestic violence with athletes go as far as murder. And saying you are going to f*** up someones wife is way different that putting a bullet in someone's head.

People also need to understand Hip-Hop culture, and using certain phrases and slangs in the right context. Saying stuff like "catch a body" or "murder", or anything like that are terms derived from the streets to use as metaphors in an art form. Whether it's in rap, or in sports, it's fine to use within that context. But when you start using those in your personal life, which Boogie may have been doing (using it as a metaphor of he's going to ruin her life), it's not okay. At all. I just need to wait for the details, but it isn't a good look.

And people, if you are in a toxic relationship, get the **** out. Don't worry about who's fault it is, just get out. It brings out the worst in people. This goes for anybody.

[Domejandro]

I am actually going to close this one. Speculation over a situation this contentious really isn't in the spirit of a basketball discussion board, in my opinion. Just sets up disastrously uncomfortable and dumb conversations.
