A Viewpoint from the Other Side of the Story

by Benny on January 20, 2006

We’re hearing alot of Kendra Davis’ side of the story of what happened. The fan, Michael Axelrod was drunk. He attacked her. She was in danger. Okay we get it.

However there is always two sides to a story. Looking more into the incident and hearing about Kendra’s past antics, you start to really wonder if Kendra Davis was the one out of line. Here are some dirt I found about Kendra Davis, who is no stranger to controversey.

  • Once raised hackles in Toronto when she suggested that the couple’s twin children should grow up “in America.”
  • During a playoff game while Davis played for the Toronto Raptors, she got into an angry shouting match with Latrell Sprewell from the stands. He had no idea who she was.
  • Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons said Kendra Davis left rambling, obscenity-peppered voice mails when she disliked his stories.
  • Following a loss in Toronto when Antonio was on the bench the whole fourth quarter, Kendra was overhead by a newspaper columnist that her husband would be asking for a trade if things didn’t get better. Of course he wrote about it and Antonio and Kendra said they were just joking. Uh-huh.
  • Sound like a woman that may have been a innocent bystander in the stands? Sounds more like a lunatic NBA wife who thinks she’s all that because of who she’s married to.

    Now read this eyewitness account from Deadspin. Reportedly Michael wasn’t even drunk. At Espn witnesses recount what happened, which support the story sent to Deadspin. You can also see video of some of the confrontation taking place.

    Michael Axelrod claims Kendra tried to scratch him and he did not lay a hand on her. Since this is America, he plans on suing for $1 million for battery against Kendra and slander against Antonio. I don’t think he’ll get a dime but hey he’s pissed.

    So I’ve presented the other side to the story and you know what I think? I think Kendra Davis is a nutcase. I think she is certainly responsible for most of the incident.

    A comment on Deadspin put it the best way

    Sounds like Antonio was headed into the stands to PROTECT THIS GUY FROM HIS PSYCHOTIC WIFE!!! He saw a tussle and was like “Oh great, here she goes again. Gotta get up there before our family gets sued. Bitch always fighting folks in front of our poor kids…”

    Arrest that woman. Put her away with that lady who claimed she found a finger in Wendy’s chili.

    Apparently, Mrs. Davis has a reputation for being a little bit of a hothead. Her past run-ins would certainly point to that. But look at it from AD’s perspective. All he saw was his wife and another man in a confrontation. He instinctively ran to her to investigate and protect her if need be. Did he automatically pummel the guy? Was he beligerant – yelling and cursing and threatening to rip the guy’s head off? Nope. He should be punished for going into the stands – 1 game suspension max. 5 games is too harsh.

    Good point. Thank goodness Antonio handled it very calmly. Everyone understands why he went into the stands. No brainer. He knew the consequences. But he thought his wife was in danger.

    But from this perspective it seems like she was the doing most of the physical contact.

    You think she’s nuts now? Wait until she figures out Antonio’s suspension cost her — I mean, cost him $800,000.

    He looked downright sad walking back onto the court after he was in the stands. I think that’s the moment when “man, i gotta think about losing this bitch!” thoughts are going through your head. I mean HIS head. his head.

    Saw her at a Steve Harvey concert 2005. Seated 2nd row from front they were in the front. Steve was making a joke and wanted to shake his hand (he was with curry/wife of the Bulls). Ms. K. Davis steps up and refuses to let Antonio shake his hand….Steve “let her go” recognizing Antonio had him one, i.e., her. She is an attention getter. I believe the fans story. I’ve SEEN her in action. I agree with the entry from Jeff. I’m suprised he’s stayed with her this long. Bet he’s glad when training starts. That woman is TROUBLE MAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should suspend HER for 5 games!

    About the money, Jeff, when yo umake that much money, it isn’t about the money.

    Great story Chicago. Yeah the more I read about her the more I can’t stand her. The NBA needs to do something about her if they want crap like this from happening. Because you better believe now when a fan sees her face at a game they’ll give her crap.

    What I’m dying to find out is what Detroit Piston Kendra Davis was caught performing oral sex on (as reported on WFAN New York, the KNICK
    Flag station).
    The Davises have said that they will not apologize to Axelrod.
    I hope Axelrod sues them. Not that I think he’ll get any money out of it….
    But think of it: Depositions. Character testimony. I’m sure Spreewell and Steve Simmons would appear for Axelrod’s side.
    Maybe they could subpoena the entire Piston team until someone talks as proof of her bad character.

    More telling: Someone has to have told them what WFAN said by now. You don’t hear them threatening lawsuits or claiming defamation over this Kendra/Piston sex story.

    Is it because their lawyer has informed them that TRUTH is an adequate defense in libel cases?

    Hmmmmmmmmmm.

    What do you think?

    I just want to know whether it was Big Ben, Rip, Tayshaun, or Chauncey?

    And if it was RIP, did he take his mask of first (or was he afraid of Kendra’s fingers too)?
