JASON KIDD FILES FOR DIVORCE - CLAIMS SPOUSE ABUSED HIM
Thursday, January 11, 2007

Hoops superstar Jason Kidd yesterday slapped his knockout wife with shocking divorce papers - claiming he’s an abused spouse.
The New Jersey Nets’ All-Star point guard - once busted for allegedly hitting his sexy bride, Joumana, in the face over a french fry - charges in the explosive court document that she has been punching, kicking and throwing “household objects” at him virtually since their wedding day in 1997.
“The defendant’s behavior has left the plaintiff concerned for his well-being,” say the sensational papers, filed in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack.
The star athlete stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 210 pounds.
The couple has a mansion in upper-crust Saddle River, where they live with their three young kids - son T.J., 8, and twin 5-year-old daughters Miah and Jazelle.
According to the court papers, Joumana’s “extreme cruelty” toward Kidd has included trying to make him look bad in front of the children by talking trash about his career - not to mention tossing paint on his beloved golf clubs.
Kidd charges that his wife even recently used T.J. to “sneak into” the team’s locker room to rifle through his belongings and dig up dirt on him.
On Dec. 27, she swiped his cellphone and then left the boy alone to take a front-row seat at the game - where she proceeded to openly taunt her husband with “personal insults,” the court papers allege.
Sources said Joumana waved her hubby’s phone at him and punched in numbers from his personal address book as she screamed at him.
Six days earlier, according to the papers, an irate Joumana sat on the hood of Kidd’s car and refused to budge, preventing him from getting to practice.
“On other occasions, the defendant has laid in front of the plaintiff’s car in order to prevent him from attending professional obligations,” the papers claim.
The “increasingly jealous and paranoid” Joumana, 34, also installed tracking devices on all of Kidd’s vehicles and computers to trace where he’s been and whom he’s been talking to, according to the legal document. Kidd says in the papers that his wife finally agreed to dismantle the devices after he confronted her - only to secretly reactivate them.READ MORE AT FOX NEWS>>>
I remember watching them on MTV cribs…never know whats poppin’ behind closed doors eh?
A tit for a tat Jason - you slap a crazy woman over a french fry, expect war. That doesn’t justify her acting like a nut and mistreating their kids as he also claims, but her lavish spending habits? What NBA wife doesn’t spend their man’s money?

I feel like they are BOTH to blame here. They have three children that have had to witness this madness. They are both adults and should’ve handled this in a different manner. Resulting to domestic violence was not the right answer. And still wound up headed for divoce. Small children are very perceptive and know when something’s wrong with mommy and daddy.
I hate to see them end up liek this, but it’s better to be apart then hurt the children emotionally any longer.
And yes, ALL NBA and NFL wives spend that PAPER! That’s one of the PERKS of dealing wtih the constant cheating! It ain’t right, but it’s REAL!

U know what, it matters not what the situation is NO ONE should be putting their hands on any one other than in an affectionate manner. If that is not the case keep your hands off.
We may not want to believe it, but men are abused too and they take the heat for it to not be made fun of. It is not easy to admit to people that you are being abused by a woman and if this is the case then I admire him for standing up. If Kidd’s wife is the agressor in this matter, trust me it will come to light, and no one will be more embarrassed than she will be at that time.
I do hope that they can come to some form of agreement where the kids are concerned cause from reading some of these responses they are really getting the raw end of this deal. Her head ain’t all that small and that could attribute to the size of the kids head.

@20..CHRAISMATIC: “why were most of y’all all on Tyrese….” Nice Point.
I for one do not totally believe Jason Kidd. Smells a lot like positioning for a divorce that he long has sensed coming. He just don’t wanna pay child and spousal support. If he proves child abuse, he won’t have 2.
I’m not saying his wife don’t have “issues” but he has his share to. Hitting somebody over a french fry.
Pleaze.

That’s just his side of the story, it sounds like he’s been cheating on her and has got caught so he rushed to file divorce to discredit her. Pre-nups usually go out the door around the 10 year mark, and adultery can void a pre-nup. If she is checking his phone and tracking his movements it sounds like she got proofs he is cheating.
He claims, she’s been crazy since their marriage started, yet he stayed with her for 10 years. This divorce is about to get ugly when we hear her side of the story.
This is the first time he has even said anything about her, even when he was accused of assault and battery. I think they are both crazy and all this drama is over money.

That is just his side of the story!!! He’s no better slapping someone over a FRY! If she is that way it’s probably because he helped nurture that insecurity, and he should know it’s cheaper too keep her cause she has 3 children can we say “MONEY IN THE BANK” You have too know who your marrying as far as her spending alot of money what else does she have too do? Jason if she is this way ur right jealousy doesn’t work and it gets old and u have too go. But please know that all you’ve done too her is coming too the light, and she’s beautiful trust and believe she’ll be on a nother MILLIONAIRES arm,

Well, if he had married the black woman who has his eldest child( Jason Jr.), he just might not be going through this. But then again, she said that he was abusing her. Maybe she is the lucky one?!

dang… that boy has a hugeeeee head! she’s only going thru his stuff so that she can try to claim infidelity on his part so she can get more out of him after the divorce. we know she signed a prenup! and since she’s the one actin a fool, she’s going to get less that what she was in the first place… now.. i wonder who she’s gonna try to golddigg after next? she shoulda came in from the jump like juanita did so she could get it all!

She seem like she real crazy from what happened back then! Im glad a man finally stepped up and left shyt most of them make themselves miserable for years just to save some money. In the long run she wont benefit only the kkids. I can honeslty believe she was crazy, come on now these females just the same as a regular female she just married a rich man. i totally beleive Kidd and he probably cant focus on his game fucking around with her crazy ass. maybe he will start something and more rich men wont be so afraid to leave their wives just because they know she will get money. If the made sign prenups they have nothing to worry about.

Wait, so what I’m getting from these comments is that it’s o.k for a woman to hit a man because he somehow had to do something to deserve it but when the shoe is on the foot and it’s a woman hitting a man it’s bloody murder (as in the Tyrese situation).
I don’t care what a man does, just like a man doesn’t have the right to hit a woman a woman doesn’t have the right to hit a man FOR ANY REASON.
Yall are comparing him to ALL players in the NBA like you are in the hotel room when he supposedly cheats with other women. It’s a sterotype of the NBA but it doesn’t mean ALL of the players mess around.
I’ve always heard that his wife was a bit off. She’s been described as difficult, and opportunist and just plain off balance.
I wont even comment on how embarrassing it is for mostly grown people to be talking about the size of a child’s head or saying he must be retarded or slow. This board amazes me more and more everyday.
All you ragged on New York about her ignorance.

Bottom line:
Both of them are full of it. If it ain’t working then go to court sort out the finances and get going.
All this he said she said, he did, she did is bulls87t. People they are loving the drama. Cause 10 years of physical abuse (no matter who hit whom) is not worth it.
Her ass needs to get that paper for those kids and then get a career/start her own business.

Thursday, January 11, 2007 /
Yeah, she is crazy. She only agreed to marry him in 1997 after he signed a nine year 60 milion dollar contract. She also knew that he had a son(jason Jr.) from a previous relationship and that he was accused of abuse in that relationship. He paid for every knot she got on her head. It couldn’t have been that bad, she stayed for ten years. I guess he finally hit her hard enough to knock some sense into her. Oh. well…

Kids are beautiful, so it’s all in good fun. Divorce is never an easy topic, and I wish them both well in whatever they do in the future.

1. They will both be ok. People get divorced all the time.
2. The kids will be fine. Most kids live in divorce situations.
3. She’s a groupie. So, this outcome was expected.
4. He’s an NBA player. So, this outcome was expected.
5. She is incredibly fine. And, because she is fine rich men will line up to date and marry her (ex: Tracy Edmonds) — despite her having 3 kids riding in the back seat of her SUV.
6. He is Jason Kidd. So, even if he was video-taped practicing Ultimate Fighting Championship kicks and punches on his wife, women would eagerly line up to replace her.
7. They are probably both lying their asses off.
8. Its all so sad. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING comes down to money in modern American relationships.
…And people think Jamie Foxx and George Clooney are crazy and selfish bachelors for saying that they never want to get married.

See folks what did I tell you. As a man, whenever you get into any kind of conflict with your wife or girlfriend, make sure you highlight to the proper authority, that you are the real victim the situatuion. Beat her to the punch and go to the precinct before she does, do whatever it takes. Or in Kidd’s case, initiate the divorce. It softens the blow that you’ll have to sustain later. Just look at it, if she was the one who filed for divorce stating domestic violence, Kidd would have been labeled a “wife beater”, he would have ended up losing endorsement and his career would have been over.
If y’all don’t believe me, just read the past posts on the alleged Tyrese incident. Everybody was jumping to conclusion calling him a monster and so forth.
Kidd is a smart man!

Men can be abused in a relationship just like woman can. There is no protection or shelters set up if a man is being abused. Men can’t defend themselves or the authorities will flip it and say that the man is the abuser/aggressor.
It’s really unfair, because if you have a woman who is prone to physically hit, etc., then you really have no way of defending yourselve, because as soon as the man lays a hand on her, she’ll go straight to the police and say he assaulted her.
Society will believe a woman before they believe a man.
If they are both prone to violence then they need to part ways and get individual counseling.

Thank you @ # 20 Charismatic
He should have never married this crazy ass gold diggin’ chick in the first place. Yeah, we know the story… he hit her in 2001, that’s flat out wrong, no excuses; even though Chris Rock said it best “There’s a reason to kick an old lady down a flight of steps… just don’t do it”.
She’s obviously petty and disrespectful, snappin’ on the man for “swiping one of the baby’s fries”. He says (That means it’s alleged) that she’s been abusing him since they’ve been married (10 years), physical as well as mental abuse, he says she’s involving the children, placing tracking devices on his vehicles and other electronic devices, she’s prevented him from going to work (Practice & team meetings) at times by sitting on his car or laying down in the in the driveway to keep him from leaving and she’s even fuckin’ with him while he’s at work (During games).
If this shit is true… This bitch is crazy!
For those asking; “How come he stayed so long if he was being abused?” The same reason women stay in abusive relationships; maybe he was in love, or at least thought he was. And if it is positioning for a divorce, bottom line is… shit had to awfully wrong in order for him to file for divorce in the first place; her lawyers said that she didn’t see it coming though.

First off I dont blame Kidd for divorcing her ass! Abuse is abuse, at least he had the balls and common since to say he want out of the relationship. Most men woulda slapped the dog sh*t out of her and kept on moving. A lot of yall were trying to play Tyrese just the other day because he “ALLEGEDLY” his his girl, and people called him all kinda names for being a woman beater, now Kidd is trying to avoid a bad situation so he’s divorcing that braud!! Dayum, a n*gga cant win for losing. A CHICK REPEATEDLY PUTS HER HANDS ON A MAN, AND HE DIVORCES HER TO KEEP FROM HITTING HER ASS BACK, HE GETS CALLED A SISSY (6′4 200LBS) ON THE OTHER HAND, A CHICK REPEATEDLY PUTS HER HAND ON A MAN, AND TO BLOW OFF STEAM HE KNOCKS THE SNOT OUT OF HER ASS, AND HE GETS CALLED A WIFE-BEATER AND HIS REPUTATION AND CAREER IS OVER!!
I think what he did was a very responsible and MANLY thing to do. If he did hit her ass once or twice, he has evidentally learned from it and has decided to hit her where it hurts this time…the BANK! So how much splurging Ms Thang is gonna be doing now. He probably has a prenup in place too, but most likely she gets nothing if HE divorces HER!!!
Good Luck KIDD! And for the rest of the men out there, LEAVE these hoes when they wanna start swingin, cuz as soon as you swing back…your done!

If she is abusing him…shame on her…That’s right Jason get to putting out warrants and other what nots before she does because if she gets there first then you don’t stand a chance….Much luck to you Mr. Kidd you deserve better…..

If that really happened over a French fry, that’s a damn shame. But it’s some women out there, who will do anything to try to get a man to hit them, just so they can do things like this.

Why is everybody so surprised; she’s a typical scorned black woman. Of course J.Kidd was fukin other hoes, hell what man in his position wouldn’t? But his wife is a dime, can’t front about that. You women have to understand the way of the world, all men cheat. Every last one of us cheats, and the ones that don’t cheat mentally by fantasizing about other women. We’re just designed to be like that. Its the testosterone…. Anyhow, J.Kidd been a dog for a minute, she is just fed up with the shit and probably lost her mind.

My brother is mentally retarded (he’s an angel to be around), and I’m personally offended by some of the comments being posted! I hope some of you never have kids!
