Assessing the Details of DeMarcus Cousins Allegedly Threatening Ex-Girlfriend

According to a 22-second phone call recording obtained by TMZ, Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins warned his ex-girlfriend, Christy West, that he would “put a bullet through” her “f---ing head” if she forbid their seven-year-old son, Amir, from attending a wedding between Cousins and his new girlfriend, Morgan Lang. The recording was allegedly made last Friday, one day before the wedding would take place in Atlanta.

Levi Edwards of Al.com reports that West filed a police report with the Mobile (Alabama) Police Department over the alleged threat. Edwards also notes that West previously sought court protection from Cousins on account of his alleged verbal and physical abuse.
