Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson Divorce: Court Orders Pregnant Tulsa Shock Player to Leave Couple's Arizona Home
Tulsa Shock player Glory Johnson, who is pregnant with twins, will soon get booted out from her and Brittney Griner's Arizona home after a recent decision from a court.
An exclusive TMZ report revealed that obtained court documents disclose that the Phoenix Mercury center was granted exclusive use of the residence while they settle their split.
It added that the court is already asking Johnson to immediately vacate the home and "has to schedule a date with Griner to go back to the home so she can pick up her personal belongings, including clothing, toiletries and luggage."
The same report, however, said that the pregnant basketball player should be escorted by a police officer when she visits the home only for 20 minutes to avoid any untoward incidents.
According to Daily Mail, Johnson is due to give birth in January.
Last August, Maricopa County, Arizona, Superior Court commissioner Jacki Ireland denied Johnson's request for a $20,000 per month spousal support from partner Griner.
Johnson mentioned in an earlier hearing that she's already in debt since she is pregnant with twins via an IVF procedure, as per ABC 15.
She asked for $7,000 a month for food, another $6,000 for hired help and the remaining amount for their sustenance.
"When I go to the grocery store I literally spend $300 every week, sometimes it's less because I don't have it," Johnson testified.
But Griner, who appeared personally in court during the said hearing, said she could not afford what Johnson was asking for.
Twenty-eight days after their marriage on May 28 and a day after Johnson announced her pregnancy, Griner filed to annul their union, according to USA Today. She initially said that Johnson made false statements to pressure her into marriage.
But on July 13, Griner file a motion to change her initial petition and revealed the Johnson has been in constant communication with her ex-boyfriend during their engagement, noted a separate TMZ Sports report.
The Phoenix Mercury star also clarified that had she known about the infidelity, she would have never asked to marry the Tulsa Shock player in August last year.
It was added in a New York Daily News report that Griner also learned that her wife had sex with a man in the summer of 2014, the time when they were starting to date.
"And Brittney doesn't want to be an ATM -- saying Glory doesn't deserve spousal support because they were only married for 28 days. Plus, neither got paid during that period due to their WNBA suspensions for domestic violence," noted the TMZ report.
