She clearly didn't go public before this, but it's unlikely it was a complete secret. Organizations go deeeep into the history of draft prospects when scouting them (beyond interviews with them, they will have in depth character interviews with people all around them and can also hire private detectives to dig up stuff).

When you're hiring a lead assistant you should be doing to same due dilligence. Masai and MLSE as a whole dropped the ball on this one.



Her last tweet says shes been staying silent. Not sure how the organization would have found this if shes been staying silent?? Even if they were to interview his ex wife im pretty sure a potential employer would fall under the “staying silent” category. Also he wasnt married to her when he got here, if this abuse happened while he was working in okc why didnt they know either?

Also how does anyone know the organization didnt already conduct an investigation and found no wrong doing? Seems like a bunch of speculation in here but some people are getting extra angry without knowing any facts

How do people jump to such conclusions so easily...?


In this day and age it's much better to be ahead of things than behind them. A truly first class organization would have known about Adrian Griffin's background before enabling him. That is on the leadership.


He was hired before any of this came out so what are you talking about, the man aint walking around beating people infront of masai. Also his ex could easily be making this up, you know that right?


If potential malpractice from an employee in your organization has to be that obvious your organization is probably quite poor.

Anything is possible, but you should be ready for every scenario, not caught with your pants down.

How about we just wait until more facts come out before we go diving head first into conclusions, that goes for both sides.

If he did it, persecute him to the full extent of the law. Abusers are cowards. With that said, we need to stop this guilty before innocent narrative everyone loves to follow when it comes to a female accusing a male. Lives have been ruined over false accusations.

It's likely they didn't even bother interviewing her. Another organization dropping the ball shouldn't be seen as a victory for the Raptors.

I've seen a lot of long distance marriages break up. We don't really have a lot of info here. In divorces, its often ugly.

The opposite of misogyny is misandry.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Twitter- Not the place to air your personal and legal family matters.

That list sounds like things that took place 10 years ago as his kids are grown now, it also sounds like every single adult relationship I was privy to growing up.

I'm sure AG can post a big list of nasty thing she did to him too. Zero relevance to basketball, take him to court already.

She didn't stay with him, so there's no assumption to be made here that you can draw your conclusion from. If money was a consideration at one point, it wasn't by the time they broke up.

No, it still is.

1. She wants child support from him when the season was suspended. NBA hadn't confirmed how the pay would work, but he's supposed to pay regardless (100% what she felt).

2. He's getting HC consideration and he had a feel good moment which probably would have put him on team's lists to interview therefore increasing his earnings.

This was an obvious intent to destroy his life.


This was an obvious cry for help from someone who has spent months trying to publicize her claims that her husband has physically and mentally assaulted her many times and that despite her attempts to get the courts to force him to pay his child support he continues to not do so and is 4x in contempt of court. Yes she is doing this when he is suddenly in the news but that's because she saw an opportunity to make an impact and guess what, it worked. If her claims are true then she is the one whose life has been destroyed and he is the one who deserves to be attacked not her. get with the program man. i assume you support black lives matter? or are you on the wrong side of that one too?

1. I do support BLM and I support the methods of peaceful protests in Canada.
2. She got a divorce and it's done. If he's missing payments, I'm sure she can request that the courts make his employer aware of the order and they would deduct the child support payments to her anytime he gets paid. Therefore, 1) she must have been given terrible legal advice 2) there's another reason, such as:
3. About the child support, it has become an issue when the NBA suspended it's season WITHOUT an agreement of how the pay would work. Is he supposed to just pay her even if he's not getting paid? That's not how the law works.
3. I bet if this were you and a ex was out to destroy you, for whatever reason, you would shed a different light. Don't be a hypocrite.

I don't think this actually his daughter. He has 1 daughter named Aubrey Griffin...she plays ball at UConn and I think she has a Twitter account that is all basketball focused.

While Adrian Griffin has 3 children of his own, Audrey Griffin is a mother of 4.

Damn, but family business is private stuff and has nothing to do with the work. Why can't she waiting till we get knocked out in the 2n round because of the **** show by Siakam?

Because misogyny.


Yep. Did you expect anything else from this forum. As soon as I saw the thread, I knew where it was going to end up and I could pick out some of the people who would be going on attack mode against her without even entering the thread. This forum really isn’t a place where these types of discussions are possible in any sort of reasonable, mature way.

Audrey had a child before the 3 she had with Adrian Griffin. I'm just going by an interview she did online in 2012 where she says she is a mother of 4.

So we shouldn't instantly dismiss that girls twitter account. It is more likely she is the first child of Audrey and was raised in Adrian & Audrey Griffin's marital home.
