NBA legend and former Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo has been accused of pulling a gun on his former partner and threatening her life, TMZ Sports reported late Monday.

Ashley Bachelor, who is the mother of their two children, was granted an emergency protective order against the Cleveland Cavaliers guard.

The motion for an emergency protective order was filed in Louisville last week. In the order, Bachelor requested protection for her, her son and her daughter.

“I am extremely fearful for my safety and for the safety of my children. Rajon has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior. He is verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive. He physically hits our son and calls him names like ‘p—-‘ and accuses him of acting like a ‘b—-‘,” Bachelor wrote in the emergency order filing.

“Rajon verbally assaults our daughter. He calls her names like ‘thot, b—-, and d——.’ Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car.”

In the motion, Bachelor described an alleged violent outburst by Rondo on May 11 when he became angry after she asked their son to separate laundry while he and his father were playing video games. She said Rondo lost his cool and ripped the game console from the wall, smashed things at the house. He told Bachelor “you’re dead” when she attempted to “deescalate” the situation.

Rondo was selected 21st overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns before being traded to the Boston Celtics, where he spent eight seasons and won the 2008 NBA Championship. Since that time, he has played for nine different teams, including the 2020 NBA Champions Los Angeles Lakers.

However, his future in the NBA is now in question following the latest allegations against him. After finishing the 2021-22 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Rondo is now an unrestricted free agent. 

Rondo has played for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers and Cavaliers throughout his career.
