Gloria Govan of ‘Basketball Wives’ family has accused her ex-husband Matt Barnes of beating her up during their volatile marriage.
The couple, who starred in the first season of the VH1 series, has seen their relationship splattered across headlines via tales of money problems, infidelity and violent fights.
Now, Govan has revealed that Barnes would sometimes spit on, shove and backhanded her during disagreements via court documents.

In documents filed by attorney Mark Gross, Govan also says Barnes took her 9-carat engagement ring and wedding band and hawked them to buy himself and their kids diamond necklaces. She wants the court to force Barnes to reimburse her for the value of the rings.
She claims Barnes is a danger to the children, and includes a deposition from August 2017 where under oath she claimed Barnes slapped her with the back of his hand while they were driving with the children in the car back in 2014. She also claims during a fight with fiancé Derek Fisher that Barnes became so enraged he spat on and tried to shove her.
Barnes is yet to respond.
