Advocating for Fairness: Supporting Kevin Porter Jr. Amidst Legal Proceedings
“Ms. Gondrezick wants to express her deep appreciation for the public’s support and prayers. In regards to our client, much that has been written in the press attributing statements to her is misleading and inaccurate,” said her representative Robert Hantman in a statement provided to Baller Alert. “She has not granted nor released any statements on her own volition. She asks everyone to respect her privacy and avoid speculation as to what occurred and refrain from disclosing any misleading statements as to Mr. Porter.“
Following reports of an alleged altercation between former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick and her boyfriend, Houston Rockets player Kevin Porter Jr., at a New York City hotel earlier this week, Gondrezick’s representatives have issued an exclusive statement to Baller Alert. Their statement sheds light on the incident and requests privacy and respect during this challenging time.
Porter Jr. was arrested Monday morning and charged with assault and strangulation after police received a 911 call about the alleged attack. He has since been released on $75,000 bail. Following the allegations and the ensuing public scrutiny, the Houston Rockets have decided to waive Kevin Porter Jr.’s contract.
Multiple news outlets reported on Monday that Gondrezick had informed law enforcement that Porter had struck her repeatedly with a closed fist and forcibly choked her during the altercation. However, Gondrezick has contradicted these reports, asserting that she has not provided any verbal or written statement for prosecutorial purposes.
Additionally, some reports had suggested that Gondrezick sustained a fractured vertebra in her neck as a result of the alleged assault. In response, representatives for the former WNBA player clarified that Gondrezick had not given her consent for the release of her medical records. Instead, they claimed that information regarding her injuries may have been relayed by an officer who overheard discussions among medical personnel, rather than through direct statements from the doctors treating her.
Furthermore, Gondrezick’s representatives strongly refuted claims that her relationship with Porter was tumultuous and abusive. They insisted that such narratives were untrue.
Amidst the reports of an alleged altercation between Kevin Porter Jr. and Kysre Gondrezick, it’s crucial to remember that Kevin Porter Jr. deserves his due process and is innocent under the law until proven guilty. While there have been reports of previous wrongdoings, it’s important to emphasize that he has never been charged.
In a country where Black men often face the odds stacked against them in the justice system, it’s essential to stand behind Porter while the legal process unfolds. Jumping to conclusions or speculating on the situation can do more harm than good.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that relationships can be complex, and challenges can arise. Instead of rushing to judgment, we should hope that both Kevin Porter Jr. and Ms. Gondrezick can work through their issues, learn from this situation, and emerge stronger together. In difficult times like these, unity and support can play a pivotal role in healing and growth.
