From the Newark Star-Ledger’s Kevin Manahan.
Joumana Kidd planted tracking devices on her husband’s cars and computers, used their 8-year-old son, T.J., to smuggle her husband’s cell phone out of his locker during a home game and threatened to ruin him with phony domestic violence complaints, according to divorce papers filed yesterday by Nets star Jason Kidd.
In filing to end their 10-year marriage, Kidd said his wife has been guilty of “extreme cruelty,” which began immediately after their wedding and culminated with her taunting him from courtside at the Continental Airlines Arena last month.
In his six-page divorce complaint, the 33-year-old Kidd paints a picture of a wife who was convinced he was unfaithful and was determined to prove it. It states:
Joumana Kidd’s way of dealing with frustration is to hit, punch and kick her husband, “or throw nearby household objects” at him.
With her husband having a previous conviction for domestic violence when the couple was living in Phoenix, Joumana Kidd “is constantly threatening to call 911 and file fictitious domestic violence reports.” She has told her husband she has “complete control over him because she can easily make up incidents and file false reports.”
On Dec. 27, she sat in the first row of a Nets home game and shouted “personal insults” at him throughout the game. During that same game, he alleges, she had their son, T.J., snatch his father’s cell phone so she could investigate the names and numbers on it. He said she has called numbers on his cell phone and has demanded to know that person’s relationship to her husband.
She has sat on the hood of his car to prevent him from going to practice and has laid down in front of the vehicle to keep him from meeting professional obligations.
Not only did the unfazed Jason score 10 points with 14 assists and 8 rebounds in the Nets’ 101-86 defeat of the Raptors last night, but he’s told everyone the couch at Bob Ryan’s place really isn’t that uncomfortable.
so he’s not the Gay Net?
his ditching the beard is all.
Here’s a link to the full complaint:

Great scoop – – – imagine if she’d been married to Kobe!
I hope he had a prenup.
she is so,so,so,beautiful.i would never in 1 millon years leave her!!!
Can’t turn a ho into a housewife…
its hard to enjoy all the spoils of being married to a hottie when theres a constant throbbing in your ass that comes with this chic
i only have two words…..Robin Givens.
omg he is being such a punk i love him to death but come on Jason you are going to let your wife hit and kick you WHAT IS YOUR PORBLEM.
Sadly, the real victim here is their son. Mostly because he looks like both of them, some kind of goofy Danny Thomas-meets-Kid-from-Kid-N-Play look. But also the whole “having two parents who are childish morons,” too.
TWO parents that are childish morons?? I’m sorry but Jason Kidd is a class act.
No, they are both acting childish. They should have been in counseling and getting help for their problems. You don’t do this crap to the person you love. They should have gotten help.
He learned the hard way that a beautiful face can be a curse rather than a blessing! And the heifer is lucky hos mama taught him not to hit girls cause he could have gone Ike Turner on her for real!! Hopefully it will not be too painful for their children!
Wait, let me see here… the guy with multiple cases of physically abusive behavior towards women, and an arrest record for domestic abuse was the victim here? WTF? what a bunch of idiot, go back to your caves.
To douglass: You certainly are shallow.
To Yeah: What makes you think they loved each other? Each one of them especially Joumanna could have been just as shallow as Douglass. Kidd could find tons of women after him also for his money and popularity, just like Joumanna was.
Take the garbage to the curb Jason!
Jason did not have multiple cases of physically abusing anyone. He had one case of physical abuse and that was with his ex-wife. She was a psycho and I know other women just like her. They want you to hit them so they can play the victim and be in the limelight. They also like to be in control….never trust a pretty face and a smile. It is good that they are divorced. Some people will not accept counseling and it does not change them. They feign healing and change to the psychaitrist or psychologist so that the sessions end, but they are still the same. I know…I had a psycho, who wanted to control me. But thank God…bye bye…forever! I moved 12,000 miles away to ensure that we would never meet again, after the legal dust settled in my favor. Blessed that we had no children involved…
