Former NBA player Matt Barnes' dispute with his ex-wife, Gloria Govan, has been widely documented in the recent years. Just recently, they both get involved in yet another dicey situation, with Govan being arrested for felony child endangerment.
TMZ Sports posted an article of what happened as told to them by their sources.
Gloria's kids were at their school Friday, about to get out for the day, and ex-husband Matt Barnes was scheduled to pick them up. We're told according to their child custody agreement, Matt had custody for the long, Labor Day weekend.
Our sources say at 2:55 PM — 5 minutes before school let out — Gloria arrived to get the twin boys. She got the children in her car and that's when Matt showed up and told her it was his weekend for the kids.
We're told Matt told the kids to get out of Gloria's car and into his. It appears the kids followed Matt's instructions, because we're told Gloria then flew into a rage, tried to follow Matt's car, screaming and cussing. Our sources say she then blocked Matt's car with the kids inside, and that's when someone called 911.
Gloria was arrested for child endangerment and also violating a court order. After police took Gloria to jail, they let Matt take the kids after he showed them paperwork he had custody this weekend.
As of posting time, Govan was formally released from jail after posting a $100,000 bail.
The ‘Basketball Wives' TV series star's divorce disputes with Matt Barnes started when the latter engaged in a fight against Derek Fisher when he found out that Govan and the former New York Knicks coach were seen together in a party. A series of verbal altercations followed that incident, which resulted in them officially getting a divorce in 2016.
Just early this year, Govan and Fisher are officially engaged with each other.
