Story here.

The article states that the woman threw things, name-called, displayed outbursts in front of kids, spends lavishly, and is abusive. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK — Hoops superstar Jason Kidd yesterday slapped his knockout wife with shocking divorce papers - claiming he's an abused spouse.

The New Jersey Nets' All-Star point guard - once busted for allegedly hitting his sexy bride, Joumana, in the face over a french fry - charges in the explosive court document that she has been punching, kicking and throwing "household objects" at him virtually since their wedding day in 1997.

"The defendant's behavior has left the plaintiff concerned for his well-being," say the sensational papers, filed in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack.'

I am glad this guy is acting like a "REAL MAN" and publicly admitting that he suffered from domestic violence during his marriage. I hope it gets him a good settlement in the divorce and gives other abused men the confidence to admit being DV victims also. Good for him!

But reality is it will most likely have the opposite affect. He will get accused of not being a "real man" for allowing these thing to happen and get blamed for the whole thing because he must have somehow provoked the bastion of virtue and innocence that his wife must surely be.

If it backfires he'll lose it all and have a criminal record to boot.

I think this is great, more men need to drop the bomb before it gets dropped on them.

I agree.

It has largely been a positive reaction, but one male dullard, passing me on the road, extended his middle finger.

He was either displaying his IQ score or kissing his chains.
