As more details have emerged from the “incident” first reported last night, it appears the controversy stems not from anything that happened at the airport, but an argument between West and his newlywed wife, at the couple’s apartment. Once again, WOIO of Cleveland has reporting:
Wife Files a Report Accusing Delonte West of Domestic Violence
Cleveland Cavaliers player Delonte West and his wife reportedly got into a spat Saturday evening that ended with West’s wife filing a domestic violence report.
The two reportedly fought at their apartment when Delonte tried to take her wedding ring off. Mrs. West left their home and headed to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, where she filed a domestic violence report.
Cleveland Police tell 19 Action News there were no signs of abuse or injury. Mrs. West then got on her flight and flew out of Cleveland.
A video report elaborated, saying that West tried to “rip off her wedding ring” during the argument. Sounds slightly worse than, “tried to take her wedding ring off.” Whatever the case, it seems this is further evidence that Delonte is, sadly, a danger to both himself and the people around him. The Cavaliers, for their part in all of this, are “aware of the situation” but have so far declined to comment. We’ll have more developments as they emerge.
