Ray Allen’s accuser says the former NBA star wants to murder him, according to a report.
Bryant Coleman, the alleged catfisher involved in Allen’s court battle, said in court documents that he received a call from Allen, who threatened Coleman and said he would make sure he “never opened [his] mouth again.”
“He said he wanted me to get what I deserved,” Coleman claimed in the document, obtained by TMZ Sports. He claimed Allen repeatedly sent associates to follow and spy on him in his community, with one hazy incident happening at a Publix market on Oct. 10, when a man allegedly told Coleman to “watch your back.”
Allen, through his lawyer, said Coleman is a “deranged individual” and claims his death-threat allegations are false.
“Ray wants nothing to do with him and is exploring all legal options to stop him from continuing to harass and threaten him, his family and friends,” David Markus, Allen’s lawyer, told TMZ Sports.
The 10-time All-Star filed an emergency motion on Nov. 21 accusing Coleman of stalking him, just a day after Coleman accused Allen of stalking him. Allen claimed he is the victim of Coleman’s catfishing scheme, in which he accused Coleman of pretending to be numerous attractive women who communicated with the two-time NBA champion.
Allen said Coleman attempted to blackmail him by releasing details about their communications, but the two made a side deal for those conversations to not be made public, which Allen claims Coleman broke, saying he continues to harass him through social media.
