Rajon Rondo allegedly pulled a gun on his longtime girlfriend and threatened to kill her during an argument, according to TMZ Sports.

“TMZ Sports has learned 36-year-old Ashley Bachelor, Rondo’s former partner and mother of his two kids, filed for an emergency protective order in Louisville last week, requesting protection for her, her son and daughter,” reported TMZ Sports. “Bachelor says Rajon — a 2x NBA champ and 4x All-Star — was playing video games with his son on May 11 when Ashley asked the boy to separate laundry. Bachelor says Rajon became enraged and ripped the game console out of the wall in front of the kid.

“Ashley says Rajon then continued the destructive behavior, smashing everything from a teacup to outdoor lights and trash cans.”

While the argument that allegedly stemmed from a video-game related incident sounded harrowing, TMZ Sports wrote that Bachelor reported that Rondo took things even further.

“Bachelor says the kids were upset after witnessing their dad losing it, so she tried to ‘deescalate’ the situation,” added TMZ Sports. “But, she says Rajon responded by making a death threat, allegedly saying, ‘You’re dead.’

“Rondo temporarily left the home, according to Ashley, before returning about 15 minutes later, when he allegedly approached a back door and began banging on the window with his gun. Bachelor says she didn’t know what was going on, so she approached the door from the inside to take a look. She allegedly saw Rondo with the weapon and asked him to stop because he was scaring her. She says Rondo didn’t listen, and instead yelled, ‘Go get my f—ing son!'”

Afterwards, TMZ Sports reports that Bachelor said she feared if she didn’t comply something terrible would happen. She added she first brought their son — Pierre — outside, before Rondo also demanded his daughter come outside as well, where Bachelor says the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard yelled at his children for being afraid of him.

With both kids “visibly upset” according to Bachelor, Rondo’s parents arrived at the scene. While she adds that they didn’t have much success in calming Rondo, the former Boston Celtics star eventually left the scene.

Now, Bachelor is stating she fears for the safety of her family, as she wrote in the emergency order of protection filed May 13, according to TMZ Sports.

“I am extremely fearful for my safety and for the safety of my children,” wrote Bachelor, via TMZ Sports. “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—y’ and accuses him of acting like a ‘b—-.’

“Rajon verbally assaults our daughter. He calls her names like ‘t—, b—, and d—head.’ Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car.”

Ashley Bachelor was granted protection for herself and her two children by a local judge, according to TMZ Sports.

Since, TMZ Sports has reached out to Rajon Rondo‘s representation, but have not heard anything back. According to their research, the former Kentucky point guard has not been named a suspect in any crime by police, nor been arrested.
