In the recent issue of Sister 2 Sister Magazine Basketball Wives' Gloria Govan says her fiance Matt Barnes' domestic violence arrest was a small situation that got blown out of proportion by the neighbors.
Basketball Wives watchers remember Gloria Govan and her eternal fiance Matt Barnes as the obnoxious couple who liked to brag about how different Matt was compared to typical pro athletes.
Fast forward to their wedding being "postponed" [click here if you missed that] and Matt being arrested for domestic violence [click here if you missed that].
Gloria tells Sister 2 Sister,
"I just think it was something that got blown out of proportion because Matt is from Sacramento. It’s completely false. Matt is very aggressive on-court, but at home, he’s one of the best fiances. He’s an amazing father and he’s just a teddy bear. We just moved to LA together, so we are fine. I hate for him to be painted with that type of reputation, but we’ll work through it."
"I think it became a headline because we live in a community that’s just nosy. We were outside kind of arguing so I think that kind of got people interested real quick. I think the neighbors just got involved too quickly (and were) too irrational."
