DeMarcus Cousins allegedly threatened to shoot ex-girlfriend in recorded audio

The Los Angeles Laker allegedly threatened to shoot the mother of his child in the head when she said she would not allow their son to attend his wedding over the weekend. TMZ Sports leaked audio of the alleged altercation and the Lakers have since released a statement.

DeMarcus Cousins reportedly told his ex-girlfriend that he’d put a “bullet in [her] f*cking head” if she didn’t allow their son to come to his wedding. The ex-girlfriend says there is audio of the conversation.

DeMarcus Cousins audio was ugly. All the way around. Made the mistake of sharing it for a few seconds. Quickly thought the wiser. If you’re interested in hearing it, you can find it somewhere. But you’ll feel uncomfortable afterward.

Many people have defended DeMarcus Cousins as misunderstood for a long time but if that recording by his ex is really him, he’ll have a lot bigger worries than his reputation. There’s really no defense for those words.
