Meet 'Comrade' Stephen Jackson, The NBA Star Who Dumped His Fiancée At The Altar And Went To a Party After She Refused To Sign a Prenuptial Agreement 'In Case Of Divorce'
Retired NBA star Stephen Jackson didn't go ahead with his marriage to his fiancée, Imani Showalter after she refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement.
A prenuptial agreement, often abbreviated as "prenup," is a legal document that two people sign before marriage. Its purpose is to specify the division of assets and debts in the event of a divorce or separation. It can also address other issues, such as spousal support and the rights of each partner during the marriage. Both parties agree upon the terms of a prenuptial agreement, and can provide clarity and security for both individuals in the event of a potential divorce.
Sharing his story some time ago, Jackson said that while he was in love with Showalter and was looking forward to marrying her, he would never walk down the aisle without the contract.
The basketball player revealed that the two had previously agreed that they would have a prenup and even understood what the terms of the contract were. However, when they received the document, she mischievously delayed signing it.
“We get the prenup back at least 3-4 months before the wedding. This is all true y’all. I give it to her. When I give it to her, she shouldn’t be surprised by it because me and her sat down and agreed upon the prenup,” Jackson says.
“A month passed, two months before the wedding, I’m like, we need to get that prenup signed, so when we get down there to Houston, we ain’t gotta worry about it. I tell her that like two or three times.”
Later Jackson says that Showalter had another issue. She was adamant about a particular pastor officiating the ceremony. He explained later that when he told the clergy that he would not marry her if she didn’t sign the agreement, the pastor tried to manipulate him by telling him ‘let God handle it.”
Jackson said the pastor clarified that he didn’t believe in prenuptial agreements.
“God is telling me to put the pen in her hand and make her sign this godd*mn prenup,” Jackson said,” That’s what God tellin’ me. So God tellin’ you and me two different things.”
Jackson and Showalter eventually never married. Instead, Jackson, who dumped her at the altar, says his friend, Stephon Marbury, DJ’ed an impromptu party where the first song he played was Kanye West’s “Gold Digger.”
Watch the Video of Stephen explaining why he did it:
It is hard not to read this story and be reminded of Moroccan Footballer Achraf Hakimi, currently labeled the only man to win a fight against a woman.
Following his involvement in an alleged rape, the wife of Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi went to a French court demanding a divorce and half of his money but walked away empty-handed.
To the amazement of his 36-year-old Spanish wife, Hiba Abouk, the Moroccan defender, he had no assets or money in the bank, according to the court, since Hakimi had registered his riches in his mother's name.
According to media sources, the wife filed for divorce and claimed half of the World Cup star's money before discovering the painful truth that Hakimi's mother owned everything.
What could this mean for other men in general? Were these women Golddiggers, as Jackson labeled his ex-fiance?
