A woman has reportedly received an emergency protective order against Rajon Rondo after she says he pulled a gun on her in front of her children.
Multiple outlets, reported that the woman filed the order last Friday, writing, “I am extremely fearful for my safety and for the safety of my children.”
“Rajon has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior,” she reportedly added of the Cleveland Cavaliers player, 36.
She filed the restraining order in Louisville, Kentucky, two days after she asked a boy who was playing video games with Rondo, their son, to separate laundry; at which point Rondo allegedly became “enraged” and “ripped the video game console from the wall,”
In the EPO, the woman wrote that Rondo told her “You’re dead”, before the basketball player allegedly left the house briefly and came back with a gun.
The reports claim he yelled at both his daughter and son outside of the home while holding the gun, continuing to ask them why they were scared of him.
Former interim Louisville Metro Police Chief Yvette Gentry arrived at the home, at which point the woman locked herself inside with the children.
Gentry obtained Rondo’s gun at some point and he left.
Multiple outlets reported that a judge granted the woman the EPO the same day she filed, ordering the NBA star not to communicate with her and to stay at least 500 feet away.
In a statement to ESPN, Mike Bass, a spokesperson for the NBA, said that that organization is “aware of the report and are in the process of gathering more information.”
Rondo was traded to the Cavaliers in January and has played for several teams over the course of his career including the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
Just another highly paid spoiled professional ball player with no class, no respect for a woman or her children, and just basically trash. What more is there to say. I’ll be surprised if he’s punished at all.
