Yes, this story is about fake gay relationship from a criminal driver.
I know, these stories are wild.
My wife … it’s like she could see into the future or something. She saw everything pretty much playing out the way that it did. She always tried to warn me, too. So when I hired this ex-con to be my driver because he was cool to hang out with and liked playing video games, she told me it was a bad idea.
Then, after a few years of driving for me, that guy got an opportunity to go work for a car service that paid really well and didn’t require travel back and forth to Chicago. So I wrote him a glowing letter of recommendation, and he got the job. But when they found out about his background, the company fired him. And when I didn’t hire him back, he started calling me constantly and threatening to make up a bunch of stuff about me and go to the press. When I stopped answering his calls, he started calling friends of mine. When they stopped answering … I guess he just felt like he needed to level up.
So one night we’re playing the Mavs in Dallas and after the game a reporter comes up talking about, “What do you have to say about the sexual harassment lawsuit and the claim that you are gay and tried to force your driver to have sex with you.”
The court dismissed the lawsuit and sent us to arbitration … where I still ended up having to pay that man thousands of dollars.
At the end of the process, before the settlement was finalized, the arbitrator left the room and told the two of us to talk one last time. So it’s just me and this driver in an attorney’s office, and he’s in there crying his eyes out. I remember him telling me, like, “I’m so sorry, bro. I never meant to do this to you.” He talked about how his wife had left him and had taken his child with her. “I’m just in a bad place. I just really need some money. I’m so sorry.”
It was unreal. I just sat there in silence because I couldn’t believe this was really happening.
At one point I turn to him and am like, “So what are you saying? Are you saying that I don’t have to give you this money?”
He wipes his eyes and takes a second, and then, all quiet, he’s like: “Oh, no bro. I still need that money….
“Sorry, bro.”
I don’t think there is anything else to say.
I feel like every rookie athlete should read this after they get drafted.
One thing should be noted his wife stayed with him.
