We broke the news of how Gloria Govan was arrested for trying to kidnap Matt Barnes’ kids while they were at school. There were going to be repercussions from that and now we know what they are.
Matt Barnes has just obtained a temporary restraining order against his baby mama Gloria Govan in the wake of her arrest at their kids’ school, TMZ Sports has learned.
As part of the court order, Govan must stay at least 100 yards away from the kids. She can see the kids once per week for 4 hours but a professional monitor has to be present — and Gloria must foot the bill for the monitor.
Gloria is allowed to be near Matt to get the kids but she must be peaceful.
Gloria is also not allowed to take the kids outside of L.A. County during her visitation unless she gets written permission from Matt.
Good for Barnes.
Gloria if she can show she can control herself will be able to try to get back joint custody at the end of the month, but maybe she needs more time considering she almost killed her kids.
Barnes said in a signed affidavit that he was attempting to guide one of the boys out of Govan’s Cadillac SUV when she “aggressively jerked the car in reverse,” causing the boy to fall back onto his seat.
He claimed Govan continued to reverse the vehicle after the child exited the Escalade, causing a heavy door to slam against the boy’s shoulder.
Barnes said after he walked both boys back to his vehicle, Govan barreled toward him “at an excessively high rate of speed through the school parking lot” to block his exit.
“I could not do anything except sit in the car, trying to calm the boys who were terrified, screaming hysterically and crying,” Barnes wrote.
“Gloria willfully committed acts of assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment and false imprisonment,” the restraining order petition filed by Barnes’ lawyer Samantha Spector said.
She is engaged to Barnes’ ex-teammate Derek Fisher. She almost killed herself and Fisher when she caused him to crash the SUV Barnes bought her because she was giving Fisher oral sex.
