You incurable romantics out there rooting for reconciliation between Jason and Joumana Kidd can give up hope now. This thing is getting U-G-L-Y!
A website called The Smoking Gun has obtained a copy of Joumana’s countersuit against her dear hubby, and the angry misses isn’t pulling any punches. You’ll recall the Nets point guard filed for divorce in January, accusing her of extreme cruelty toward him and their three kids. Well, Joumana can definitely dish it out as well as her assist-machine husband. Among the charges;
Kidd engaged in affairs with television reporters, cheerleaders, strippers, Nets employees and season ticket holders. (Apparently, he has something against concession workers) In addition, she accuses him of being an excessive gambler and masochistic binge drinker. (What’s a masochistic binge drinker?) She also claims Jason struck her while pregnant with everything from a large rock to a cookie. (You ever get hit by a stale Nilla Wafer? Those hurt!)
Anyway, I don’t mean to poke fun at what’s obviously a messy situation for three innocent kids caught between two messed up people. But do you remember back when Bob Ryan created a media firestorm by suggesting Kidd should smack Joumana for using her son as a prop? Think Jason would like to sit down and have a couple of beers with ole “Basketball Bob” right about now?
O.K. guys and gals…have at it! Let’s hear your thoughts! Where does my post rank on the insensitivity meter?
