Anansa Sims releases statement defending Matt Barnes

Anansa Sims issued a statement defending Matt Barnes after Barnes got into an altercation with Sims’ ex-husband David Patterson Jr. and spat at him.

Patterson sued Barnes for the assault and was awarded a restraining order against him.

“I exhale 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 on the journey towards a healthy place for our children can understand and relate to that. This is not a single incident, this is a series of multiple incidents.

“It was heartbreaking for me to sit back quietly and watch this unfold knowing the truth and story behind the altercation. I hate that my ex-husband has been bothering me and Matt for years, that he finally got Matt to respond. I know this is a lot to read, but if you take the time to read each of the 10 slides you will better understand what we’ve been through.”
