If there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that Matt Barnes loves the kids. His kids, other people’s kids, at risk kids, kids in general.
Yesterday he generously opened up his heart and wallet to Ta’Kari Christie, the daughter of Basketball Wives: LA star Jackie Christie who says her mother won’t help with medical expenses, after a GofundMe account was started on her behalf to help minimize the financial burden she faces while caring for her badly burned infant son. On the same day Barnes took to his IG account and said that estranged wife Gloria Govan, GF of Barnes’ ex-teammate Derek Fisher, won’t let him see his kids.
“It’s been nearly a month since I’ve been allowed to see you guys.. love & miss you guys to death, hope to see you soon!! Daddy loves you”
Since posting the message, fans are camping out in Govan’s messages imploring her to allow Barnes to see the kids while Barnes is clapping back at trolls that don’t agree with his method and commiserating with fellow ballers like DeAndre Jordan who feel his pain. Govan has yet to respond to his allegations.
