Dillon Brooks Files For Restraining Order Against Ex After Threatening To Cut Off His Fingers, Social Media Ties It Back To Drake Lyrics
We're only a few days into the offseason, and it's already been pretty eventful for Dillon Brooks, who was not only traded to the Phoenix Suns but also faced some surprising legal action.
Brooks has now filed for a restraining order against Heather Andrews, the mother of his children, according to TMZ .
He claims that he started dating Andrews back in 2018 after meeting her in Las Vegas. The courtship moved fast, and within months, she was pregnant with their first child, which is when he says the harassment started. He even alleges that she'd send him 'emotionally abusive' messages, only to send screenshots of his response to gossip blogs to paint him as the bad guy.
But he proceeded to ignore the red flags and had a second child with her, and she became 'increasingly more aggressive and threatening.'
In the lawsuit, he includes alleged screenshots of the violent threats she sent him, including an attempt to end his NBA career.
'I'll habe [sic] someone cut each one of your f-cking little fingers off one by one… So you can never play basketball LOL… And actually now I understand why people are racist.'
In her purported texts, she also threatened to hurt his mother, and while a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, she vandalized his home.
'You suck b-tch,' she wrote on his outdoor fireplace mantle alongside his No. 44 jersey number.
He added that she tried to further paint him as the aggressor by hacking into his account on the coparenting app Our Parenting Wizard and sending herself threatening messages.
This is only the most recent happenings in their relationship falling apart since last year, when she filed for a restraining order against him, alleging similar threatening and harassment tactics.
Somehow, within the serious allegations, Drake's name has been invoked on social media. The Canadian rapper name-dropped Brooks, his countryman, on the 2023 song 'Just Another Late Night,' even mentioning the finger-removing threat.
' Shawty rinsin' Dillon Brooks, can't believe this n-gga talkin', ' he raps and a few bars later says , ' Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes .'
Brooks nor Andrews has spoken publicly on the nasty legal battle or Drake's alleged involvement. See how social media is reacting below.

Pistons' Malik Beasley reportedly being investigated for allegations of gambling
Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is being investigated by the U.S. District Attorney's office for allegations of gambling on NBA games and prop bets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Beasley has not been charged, his attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN. "An investigation is not a charge," Haney told Charania. "Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything.' 'We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors' investigation," NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said in a statement. Advertisement A prominent U.S. sportsbook noticed unusual betting activity on prop bets for Beasley beginning in January 2024, according to ESPN gambling reporter David Payne Purdum. Beasley was playing his lone season with the Milwaukee Bucks at that point. He started 77 games, scoring 11.3 points per game and shooting 41% on 3s. Per Charania, the Pistons were in "serious talks" with Beasley, 28, on a new three-year, $42 million contract, but those are now on hold. That likely applies to any interest Beasley attracted as a free agent, as well. Beasley is ranked No. 14 on Yahoo Sport's NBA free-agency big board and the fourth-best shooting guard on the market by Morten Stig Jensen. "Beasley signed just a one-year contract last offseason, outplayed it spectacularly, and now the Pistons are left with two options to keep him: find a way to create cap space to sign him into that, or see if he'll bite on the non-tax [mid-level exception]." Advertisement Last season, Beasley emerged as an impact player for Detroit as the team returned to the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2019. Signing a one-year, $6 million deal, he averaged 16.3 points and shot 41% on 3-pointers, finishing second in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting. Beasley's 319 3-pointers made were second in the league behind Anthony Edwards' 320 for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Beasley became the third player in NBA history to hit 300 3s while shooting at least 40% from behind the arc. Detroit selected Tennessee sharpshooter Chaz Lanier in the second round of last week's NBA Draft and is reportedly among the top suitors for free-agent guard Nickeil Walker-Alexander. This development with Beasley could potentially increase urgency for the Pistons to move on both of those fronts.

The feds are investigating NBA player Malik Beasley over gambling
The proliferation of legalized gambling has had plenty of unintended consequences. In the NBA, another serious set of consequences could be playing out. reports that federal authorities are investigating Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley on gambling allegations. Advertisement The case traces to the 2023-24 season, when Beasley played for the Milwaukee Bucks. A prominent sportsbook detected "usually heavy betting" on Beasley's stats in January 2024. "An investigation is not a charge," attorney Steve Haney told "Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now he has not been charged with anything." The NBA told that it is cooperating with the investigation. Last year, Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter received a lifetime ban from the NBA for his role in a gambling scheme based on Porter's "under" propositions in multiple games. The NFL has managed to avoid a major gambling scandal since the U.S. Supreme Court opened the floodgates for states to adopt spots betting in 2018. It feels as if it's just a matter of time before it happens in America's most popular sport.
