Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins unleashed profanities at Bee reporter Andy Furillo
Cousins told the reporter: We’re going to have some real f---ing issues. Don’t ever mention my brother again"
Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins unleashed some profanities at a Sacramento Bee reporter, Andy Furillo.
Per The Sacramento Bee, Cousins angrily jabbing a finger into Furillo’s face, shouting in a profane and threatening manner, because of a column The Bee published last weekend. Cousins then refused to talk to any reporters in the post-game interview while Furillo was in the room. That’s a tactic he’s employed before when he’s angry about coverage, and it is behavior aimed at controlling and censoring the media.
Furillo’s column was about an incident at the Avenue club in New York and a subsequent lawsuit that alleges teammate Matt Barnes choked a woman and Cousins “sucker punched” her boyfriend.
At the end of the column Furillo briefly referenced a well-publicized incident with Cousins and his younger brother in a Tampa, Fla., bar in May, which ended with his brother, Jaleel – who also is an athlete and public figure – arrested while friends hustled out Cousins.
