Anansa Sims issued a statement defending Matt Barnes after Barnes got into an altercation with Sims’ ex-husband, David Patterson Jr, and spat on him.
Patterson sued Barnes for the assault and was granted a restraining order against him.
“I’m exhaling, because I hate making private matters public, but in this case our personal family matters are already public,” Anansa wrote. “Co-parenting can be challenging and I’m sure those of you who are on the journey to getting to a healthy place for our children can understand and relate. This is not one incident, this is a series of several incidents.
“It’s been heartbreaking for me to sit back silently and watch the way this has played out knowing the truth and history behind the altercation. I hate that after years of my Ex Husband harassing Matt and I, that he finally provoked Matt into reacting. I know this is a lot to read, but if you take the time to read each of the 10 slides you’ll have a better understanding of what we’ve been going through.”
