Good to know you believe in execution before trial though.


In fact, you are the one who is burning her at the stake. Questioning why she would stay with an abuser, accusing her of looking for a payday.

At no point have I said that Adrian Griffin is guilty of these accusations.

It's funny how she makes a comment about child support money, but the kids don't utter one comment about the child support money.


i dont think its fair to expect kids to call out their parents publically

Well earlier in the thread theres a tweet from the 5 star recruiting son said how much he was proud of his father. Also, I'm sure if the kids were really worried about the child support money, they would let their mom know to get a hearing date to let the court know of missing payment(s).

Loving kids usually don't give a damn about when their child support money comes.

Also, this is just a healthy relationship she seems to have with the kids, publicity going out and embarassing them too.

It might be the case where they're too young to have phones/social media. I wouldn't really go looking for an absence of evidence in that direction.

No...I believe the youngest is in his last year of HS. Therefore, she's just money hungry.

She willingly CHOSE to stay with an alleged abuser after multiple alleged incidents and is now trying to publicly destroy the man amidst rumblings of a head coaching position after already complaining about his financial shortcomings as a father.

You're right, money must clearly have nothing to do with it...

Maybe I'm crazy, but if someone dragged me across a lawn while pregnant, that would be enough to leave at that moment; but she didn't and stayed. Why? Cause she might never get another Adrian Griffin and those NBA checks/lifestyle are hard to pass up.

All of this might be true and Griffin might be a POS, but I'm waiting until the receipts get shown as she claims...


The fact that she got out dismisses your half-baked claim. You don't have to believe her, but you don't have to believe the voice in your head that made you type that out, either.

People stay with abusers for many reasons. It's a psychological mind ****. You're sounding incredibly ignorant.

And if she is right, and he didn't pay child support for long stretches, then yes... she should get that money. Money that she shelled out to support THEIR children.

Situations are always more complicated than what they seem on the surface but none of us know Adrian Griffin from the next man on the street. For people here to immediately jump to his defence is worrying to me about the mindset of some of the young men here.

Are there lying females? Yes. Are there deadbeat dads and husbands? Yes. Are all females liars? No. Are all men deadbeats? No.

Obviously something is frustrating Audrey Griffin for her to take it public like this as while it puts pressure on Adrian to do the right thing, it also sheds an unwelcome spotlight on their children who are innocent bystanders in all this.

Listen, people stay with their abusers for many reasons. Just because you think you can walk away at the first sign of abuse doesn't mean other people have the same strength or confidence in self to do the same thing. This world needs a bit more empathy.

No one here has access to any evidence to form opinions about either party. No point speculating.

1. Do you know how they calculate child support? Are you suggesting that she would need or spend that much money on them on a month per month basis?

2. It's no psychology mind abuse. It's 2020. More and more couples are getting devorced for much less reasons.

Many times, children have a sense of a strained relationship between their parents but don't know the actual extent to how bad things really are. A lot of times parents will naturally shield their children from contentious issues like money and insist everything is ok when they're really not.

It's only when things bubble over and one party starts to make things public that all the issues come to light.

With 3 of their kids already in college, they probably have no idea that their dad hasn't been paying child support.

A big problem with the world right now is self accountability. It's never my fault, but someone else's and society for failing me.

You make your own choices and if those choices are bad ones that end up ruining you...well isn't that natural selection and survival of the fittest?

Still, I wouldn't go looking at absence of evidence from the kids. It's not common for families to air dirty laundry on social media.

If you want to draw a conclusion, don't you think she'd wait until he potentially landed a much more lucrative head coaching job if she wanted to shake him down for money?

I don't know anything about the alleged abuse but the fact that she keeps mentioning the court order when she herself said he sends money to the son (while having a good relationship with him apparently) means she might just be bitter that the money isn't going directly in her pocket. Again, don't know the full situation

Well said brother, it's sickening to hear the ex-wife come out with personal matters between the two of them. Everyone has a past, but to keep dwelling on it and posting it on social media isnt going to sway me or many others to think any different of coach Griffin. We don't need these types of negativity especially going into the playoffs irrespective of how true of false the accusation is. Whether there is credence to this story remains to be seen.
Los Manos wrote:I neither believe or disbelieve it - we'll see what comes of it. However for context these allegations must be well over a decade old since his youngest kid is just about to turn 17 and his other two kids are both in college on basketball scholarships.

If the accusations hold any truth, posting on social media and demanding attention are the actions of someone not entirely in complete grip of reality. It reads very much like an ex partner upset that the child support is now going directly to his kid and no longer in her control. If he has broken a court agreement then speak to a lawyer, you won't get anywhere with this approach to retribution.

If he didn't pay child support and she supported their children, then yes, she is owed money. For their food, clothes, bills, etc.

Being abused is not a simple thing. For some people they're hit and it's 'yes I want a divorce right away'. Other people endure years of abuse and due to confidence, isolation etc... they don't get divorced.

It's incredible to me that people feel they can tell women, who have suffered years of abuse, what they're doing wrong. Empathy is always the first step.
