Raptors Assistant Coach Adrian Griffin Accused By Ex-Wife Of Choking Her, Giving Her STDS

The Toronto Raptors were the second best team in the continuation of a condensed regular season in the NBA Bubble and finished their eight games with a 7-1 record, while securing the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference.

So it’s been easy cruising for the team and things seemed to be going incredibly smooth for the reigning NBA champions.

But the Raptors and assistant coach Adrian Griffin now had to respond to accusations made by Griffin’s ex-wife, Audrey Griffin, who said that he choked her, assaulted her while she was pregnant, threw her into a wall, abused their children, threw objects at her, and gave her STDs.

The Raptors issued a public statement after Griffin posted these allegations to Twitter.

Per TSN:

“When we saw these allegations this morning, we were dismayed — Adrian is a valuable member of our team. Our leadership immediately spoke with him, and he flatly denied the allegations in the posts. We will support the process as he and his former partner settle these matters,”

Griffin also personally responded and denied any of the accusations:

“This morning, accusations were made against me on social media by my former wife that I vehemently deny. We are involved in a longstanding legal dispute over alimony and child support arrangements. I am disappointed to have to address false accusations in this way, and I apologize for any distraction this has potentially caused for our team at this important time.”
