Matt Barnes gets restraining order on ex-wife and former Basketball Wives star Gloria Govan following 'rash driving' incident

Matt Barnes is asking for full custody of his children claiming they are not safe with their mother, who reportedly had no control over her driving

Former NBA player, Matt Barnes, has finally received a restraining order from the court against his ex-wife, former 'Basketball Wives' star Gloria Govan. Govan was accused of a felony child endangerment after she aggressively drove her car with their kids inside. 

According to a TMZ report, the mother-of-two is now required to maintain a 100 yards distance from her children and former husband and is allowed to visit them once a week only in the presence of a supervisor. The couple, who got married in 2013 and parted ways in 2016, has not shared the best of relations ever since the divorce.
While Barnes had infamously beaten up the then-New York Knicks head coach, Derek Fisher, for being involved with his estranged wife, Govan had accused the former NBA player of defamation, denying his claim that she cheated on him and stole money during their marriage.
