Joumana Kidd filed her divorce papers against Jason Kidd the day after Valentines Day and it reads like 27 pages of pure FIRE. Luckily for you and for me, somebody on my favorite message board broke it all down for us. Wanna hear it? Here it go:
So far she has recounted in October 99' accompanying Jason to a basketball camp, and him locking her out of his hotel room knowing there were no more rooms available at the hotel. She said she had to go room with the trainer which was "humiliating" for her. Jason's locked her out of the house in her nightgown, hit her with a baseball bat, threw her down the stairs, shoved her and broke her rib when she was pregnant with TJ, punched her in front of a friend, on their 3rd wedding anniversary he knocked her unconscious with her purse and pour champagne over her head and told her he needed "professional help", threatened to hang her with a belt he had was holding, and began hitting her in the face regularly during January 2001, and recounted the publicized fight where she called 911.
No domestic violence in 2002. Then in 2003 he hurled a large cookie in her face like a frisbee during a flight home from Mexico vacation, her lip was cut, Jazelle fell off her lap, Jason blamed TJ. The next day Jason admitted he threw the cookie, and the nanny witnessed this incident. In 2004 Jason began staying away from home, and never told Joumana where he was. One day he told TJ he was going out for luggage in the car, and didn't return causing TJ to panic. Joumana states she attempted to calm TJ down, but he knew Jason wasn't at home that night. When Joumana confronted Jason he kicked her in the torso, and the nanny who witnessed this called another household employee and her husband to come over. In summer 2004 which Joumana states as one of the "most severe acts of physical abuse" was when Jason was choking her, she grabbed a candle stick, and he grabbed the candle stick and beat her in the forehead with it. She had a head injury and went to the hospital where it was determined she had a slight concussion, and hasn't regained the feeling in that area of her head.
Continuing from summer 2004-they're sitting in a car in their driveway arguing, he grabs her by the back of her head, and smashes her head in the middle console of the car. She sought medical treatment, had damage to right eardrum, needed a tube inserted into her ears, and had hearing loss.On October 12, 2004 as they prepared for TJ's birthday party Jason backhanded Joumana in the face leaving her with a swollen lip which was visible to those at the party. About November 2004-Joumana gets Jason involved in church, he recommits to Christianity in November 2004, and as part of the spiritual process he admits to his infidelity throughout entire marriage (Duh) and is remorseful for physical abuse.Beginning of 2005-Jason comes home from a road trip in which he didn't call home and speak to family. He comes home intoxicated and sleeps in upstairs bedroom. Joumana goes upstairs the next morning, another argument, he kicks her in the stomach. The next day she finds blood in her urine, and Jason states "He doesn't give a fuck." Later apologized and said he may have chemical imbalance (Watch out for Tom Cruise Jason).Towards end of 2005-Joumana was sitting on bed with labtop ignoring Jason's attempts to argue, he punched her computer hard enough that it broke, and pieces cut and bruised her legs.
Early 2006-Jason threw a wooden brush at Joumana as she was walking away from him during an argument, hitting her in the back causing bruising, and followed her throughout the house taunting her as she cried.Mid 2006- He twisted her arm causing a sprain. Septmember 2006-He threw a baseball in her face.October 2006-Argument over a pre-paid phone (that wouldn't generate a bill) that he told he would get rid of in 2004, asked to see phone, he refused, she still was trying to get phone, TJ enters room, Jason states they were playing around then becomes angry and shoves Joumana who falls into TJ, and they both fall on floor. Jason leaves the room while Joumana follows him. He slams the door on her hand, and held the door closed. They continue to argue in backyard, he throws a rock the size of a football in her face, she raises her arm and arm gets hit with rock, arm swelled tremendously. Jason sarcastically tells Joumana "you should probably go get that looked at", and took a nap. Joumana calls her friends over who Jason greets before entering bathroom.TJ comes to say goodnight, and Joumana tells TJ Jason is in the bathroom. TJ doesn't find Jason in bathroom, and window screen was missing. Joumana and her friends were astonished that he climbed out of bathroom window and left the house. TJ was upset and confused. Joumana heads to the hospital for medical treatment.
December 28, 2006 (last beating)- Jason moved into apartment. They were talking about their marital difficulties, and Jason pressed his forearm into her neck causing Joumana to lose her breath. He left the apartment, and told her to "lock up, bitch." On the way out he mockingly told defendant he should call the police and tell them she had broken into the apartment. After he left she realized he took her keys, and had to get a ride home from a neighbor of his. Jason's Threats-"Who are they going to believe, you or me?" Think about it."At the end of the day, I'll always have the last word.""Whatever I do in my life, I will always land on my feet like a cat.""I'm sick. I know I need help.""All you've ever done is protect me, and it makes me resent you more."The rest of the pages are about the gifts, his drinking, briefly the infidelity, destroying her clothing and purses, and him taunting her as she cried after he beat her such as mocking her needing tissues, ice, and medical treatment.
