DeMarcus Cousins sought on arrest warrant for domestic violence charge

[Westtncat]

Just to be clear, I never said any of this was OK. I never said it was legal. I'm simply saying if a woman is holding a kid from a father it can trigger some intense emotions. Things are said in a fraction of a second. Cousins has issues, I think he has since the beginning. No one here knows the whole story. We can all post here in this forum as Dudely Do rights. If a lot of our lives were exposed I bet there are plenty of shady characters here.

I'm sure we've all acted in ways we're not proud of, but I can say with complete honesty that I've never threatened to put a bullet through someone's head.

Roughly 16 years ago my ex wife took out a restraining order (EPO) and accused me of grabbing her arm and pulling her air, I wasn't able to see my kids for a month, all this came out of left field two days after Christmas, never saw it coming, could not believe she made this false claim. To make matters worse, two weeks later at the first court appearance she played the Hollywood scared victim role and the judge tacked on another 6 months, unbelievable after 12 years of marriage. That same day i hired a P. I and 4 days later, i found the truth. Four months later she was out of my home and i had my two sons living with me 75% of the time, i refused to have my reputation ruined over a false claim.Years later she apologized and said he lawyer told her to do that so that she could take control of the family home and custody of the kids, claimed it gave her a advantage in the divorce which initially it did. Still the fact that someone can tell a simple lie and destroy you blows my mind, i was in a dog fight from the get go in my divorce but in the end, i won....

With that being said, yes i do know that sometimes it is not all what it seems but in Cousins case, no doubt in my mind he made a serious threat that should not be taken lightly. I hope that Cousins can get some help and find some peace either through counseling or maybe through the Church and through God...

I'm assuming there's proof, or it's just a case of she said, he said. If there's proof, threatening to shoot someone is against the law even if there are extenuating circumstances.

The article says she recorded the phone conversation where Cousins made the threats.

[boomdaddy]

Think about that for a minute. She recorded the conversation. I would think that she said a bunch of hateful, nasty things to him, including the line where she will fight to the death to deny him any visitation. She then hangs up on him and records him when he calls back, after she has pushed all of his buttons. Money grubbing ho's are evil incarnate. You guys can choose to see one side of the story all you want. The fact that she had him recorded points more to a set up than to Boogie's character, imho.

I'm sure there are worse takes than this but...I haven't seen many.

Well, it could cut the other way too. She might have recorded the conversation because he'd made previous threats. Who really knows.

I tend to put a little more credence into her version only because Cousins is a known commodity at this point. He's had run-ins for years with people. We know he has anger problems. It kind of checks out for me that it would go down like she says.

But maybe Cousins had been entrapped or something. It's possible. I have noticed the times Cousins has run into issues he usually has people making apologies for him and saying he's simply "misunderstood." That's happened for years.

I understand what you are saying and yes some of these ho's are scandalous but at the same time, what type of man would even consider putting his hands on a woman or putting a bullet in they head? What's Cousins going to do, clip the momma and then tell his child down the road he shot her? Cousins has to be smarter than this, is he too damn stupid or arrogant to not think that every move is put under a microscope in the age of cellphone technology and social media?

Anyways, he will get a slap on the wrist and that will be that but one thing is for sure, he will be paying out his ying yang child support and will more than likely have supervised time with his child, he dug his own grave in this matter, no family court judge will rule in his favor if it's verified he made threats on tape. Cousins will be ordered to see a psychologist with and without the children, his honeymoon is over, chickens have come home to roost......

If only Nicole Brown Simpson hadn't provoked OJ.............

[boomdaddy]

Saying and doing are two different things. How many people have heard somebody say that they are going to kill somebody, when they are mad? Do they kill somebody? No.

Comparing Boogie to OJ is just plain wrong and in poor taste. OJ had a history of roughing up Nicole and finally killed her. Jim Brown had a history of beating up women. He never killed anyone, as far as we know. The only people we know of Boogie beating up are weak girly men who shouldn't be playing in the paint.

Just stop it. He threatened to put a bullet through her head, and there's no amount of false equivalency that's gonna downplay that. You're just making yourself look more foolish.

And, if you want to do some research instead of excusing Boogie's bad acts, look into domestic violence on women that don't get reported versus the number that turn out to be false accusations.

[justford]

Unless the law has changed, using a phone to make threats or to leave a threatening message is now a Federal crime.

OJ made threats prior to roughing her up. Excusing threats with "she must have pushed his buttons" is, how do you say? Oh yeah. In poor taste.

[boomdaddy]

Yes Sir, comparing Boogie to OJ is very poor taste. I have never had anyone in my family connected to a woman who used the children as weapons against the father, I do know people that have. It is not a good situation. keep on believing Boogie is just a bad seed and that the baby momma is Mother Theresa. I wouldn't wish that kind of evil woman on anyone, even if I didn't like them.

I never said that Boogie didn't lose his temper. I am saying that it is just too convenient. Is it a coincidence that this blows up, right when he gets married? I think not. Can imagine the baby momma is seething that he kicked her to the curb and married somebody else. You can't visit your kid! I will make sure of it. I will tell them that you beat me and are mean o the kid. Yes, I can see it happening.
