WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick is speaking out against the handling of her ex-boyfriend, Kevin Porter Jr.’s, assault case. Gondrezick claims that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has perpetuated a false narrative despite her repeated denials of the alleged attack. In an exclusive interview with TMZ Sports, Gondrezick expressed her frustration, stating that the District Attorney’s handling of the September incident has exacerbated her trauma more than the actual experience.
Shortly after Porter’s arrest, Gondrezick provided a statement to officials, clarifying that the original criminal complaint did not accurately represent what had occurred. She maintains that she wants the D.A. to publicly acknowledge her side of the story, emphasizing that she fell and hit her head after Porter abruptly woke her up following a night out. According to her account, Porter never physically assaulted her, despite the accusations.
It was initially reported that Porter had hit Gondrezick multiple times and put his hands around her neck, resulting in a fractured neck vertebra and a laceration above her eye. However, it was later revealed that the neck injury was not caused by Porter, as it was pre-existing. Gondrezick also asserts that the laceration was a result of the fall, and she provided evidence in the form of a makeup smear on the hotel room wall to support her claim.
While Porter was initially arrested for assault and strangulation, one charge was subsequently dropped due to insufficient evidence. Gondrezick has been adamant about speaking up to protect herself, not Porter, as she refuses to let authorities silence her. She is also calling for those responsible for perpetuating the current narrative to be held accountable.
Gondrezick’s attorney, Bobby Altchiler, echoed her sentiments, expressing concern over his client receiving death threats due to the mishandling of the case. He emphasized the ethical and moral imperative to correct the information already in circulation.
Ultimately, Gondrezick and her legal team are advocating for transparency and honesty from all involved parties, urging the District Attorney’s office to acknowledge her account of the events. Meanwhile, Porter is due in court later this month to address the ongoing legal proceedings.
TMZ Sports reached out to the Manhattan DA’s office for comment but has yet to receive a response. The story continues to unfold as Gondrezick fights to be heard and for her version of events to be acknowledged.
