The AJC.com reports that Allen Iverson’s wife has filed for divorce:
In the divorce petition filed on Tuesday, Tawanna Iverson said her 8 ½-year-long marriage to the guard was “irretrievably broken.” In the petition, Tawanna Iverson asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.
She did not ask for a specific dollar amount.
The children range in ages from 17 months to 15 years.
The children and their parents have lived in north Atlanta since August, according to the court filing. Before that, the family claimed homes in Rochester, Mich.; Englewood, Colo.; Denver, Colo.; and Villanova, Pa.
Well, so much for that excuse that Philadelphia 76er Allen Iverson gave to explain why he wasn’t playing in regular season games for the Philadelphia 76ers. According to online reports, Iverson said he was taking a leave of absence to spend time with his daughter who was suffering from a mystery ailment.
But according to ESPN blog, Iverson won’t be back in a Sixers uniform this season.
Allen Iverson’s second stint with the team he once led to the NBA Finals ended Tuesday when the Sixers announced he would not return for the rest of the season.
Iverson has mostly been absent from the team for a month, returning to Atlanta to be with his family as they deal with an undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah.
Iverson, who returned as a free agent to the 76ers in December, has not played since Feb. 20. Read More…
Not to be deterred by his unemployment status, Iverson partied with NFL players Deon Grant and Edgerrin James last night at Vice Lounge in Atlanta. Vivica A. Fox’s man Slimm (pictured above, left, with AI) and Mr. Plush of Plush Blue Entertainment promote the popular Wednesday night parties at Vice Lounge.
Slimm’s next gig is in Toronto, Canada where he’s promoting a party hosted by rappers Julez Santana and Fabolous on March 19.

His wife just filed for divorce. Gee whiz AI, when it rains it pours.
sick kid, no job, wife filed for divorce. Mr. Iverson, you may be having a bad week.
right MKM…and east, Iverson will be playing overseas next year. I’m pretty sure he can’t afford to retire.
I just read that his wife filed for divorce. Oh well.
That last pic looks so
@corporate I’m not gonna say Plush looks gay but I will bet good money he has kissed a man. Hopefully, it wasn’t Slimm becasue I decided he can get it. Two M’s and all….
When a woman is fed up there is nothing you can do about it..R. Kelly
I pray their daughter speedy recovery…
Sandra are you working on the site. Ppl are complaining about getting error messages and all morning the main page has been white for me
OT
I wonder if the story about him parting while they had a sick child at home forced her hand. I hate to see (black) couples divorce so I’m sorry to hear this.
Allen is a perfect example of everything that glitters is not gold. Write a book Mr. Iverson I’m sure you got a great story to tell.
Allen Iverson is a damn liar ..Since leaving the Sixers he have yet to care for his ill daughter ..Within the last week his groupies and jump-offs been attacking his daughter on Twitter , Formsrping and Facebook..I am so glad TAWANNA left before the money is all gone ..Just this past sat, he was in Charlotte making it rain in every strip club imagine , poor behavior for a man with a sick daughter ..This was long over due and I glad she got the strength to walk out on him.. He’s been cheating and neglecting their kids since god knows when ..He’s only a father when the cameras are rolling ..TEAM Tawanna …AND GOOD LUCK .. Im sure Sandra will have more inside info by the end of the day ..BEWARRE his family mbrs are on Blogs attacking her trying to make him look good
I think he’s going through a midlife crisis…He’s in his 30s thinking he’s still the thugged out 20 something year old when he first came in the league. Get it together boo!!
Sandra, she filed for divorce cuz he has another jumpoff pregnant, it will soon come out cuz she is not the type to keep quiet. I am so glad his wife has finally opened her eyes cuz homeboy has been cheating since day one even before they got married he was cheatin but she married him cuz she knew he was gonna get paid and now so will she. But I still luv me some AI…

Mr. Plush has lovely skin.
Tis’ all.
dang AI…get ya life together…with yo fine self LOL i can’t lie i always thought he was sexy
I’m getting a cleaner one done in May and I’m gonna ssk him about it then…lala and nene have actually used my first clean idea (stripper, batrtender, club patron drwessed in coservative clothes) but I would have made it rain on myself since I make my own money.
oh AI
I hope u can bounce back from this..
..And maybe..just maybe another team will pick you up..and even if that doesn’t happen, you’ve already left your mark in the NBA…future HOFer yall!
I’ve never cared for AI…especilly when he ghetto ass momma who is only like 15 years older than him was on TV in a b ball jersey talking about ‘we keeps it real’ when that mess happened when he through his pregnant wife out on the grass butt ass naked.
SMH This story is so old. Hood dude from the ghetto strikes it rich playing basketball/football or rapping. Hood dude from the ghetto fuggs it all up over some stupid ish.
Even though I LOVE me some AI I hate to hear that his marriage is ending. I really don’t respect dudes that don’t care for their kids so I hope the stories aren’t true. Now if he needed to have a night out to get away from the stress that’s fine but if he’s out err night I have issues with that
Sandra I had to go on my crackberry to type this because you cannot get on your site via the web. Get it together boo
what disease does his daughter have?
I think it’s that crappy little flashing pop up – I have to refresh the sit too many times, sometimes :rollseyes:
Well its about damn time, finally she has seen the light!!! He is a nasty no good bum and finally it is coming back to him. I just hope and pray the kids are well taken care of and that his wife has some skills.. She will need them cuz his money won’t be as long as she may think. He pays for his large entourage when he parties, plus the groupies, plus whatever else.. We will be hearing about him filing for bankruptcy in the future.
I doubt if his ghetto tail can get a job as a basketball correspondent cuz he can’t seem to take the ghetto out of his dumb tail….
What a fool!!
I have a funny story about AI’s mama. I saw her at a restaurant in Virginia surrounded by bodyguards. She was wearing this raggedy fur coat and had major attitude. Everybody was laughing at how ghetto and tacky she was.
@princess…good luck with it…sounds like fun!
@windy…I’m wondering the same thing.
@Windycity, The doctors haven’t figured it out yet. Their running tests on her.

********************************************
don’t these athlete/entertainer-wife stories always end the same? she put a lot of years in and, after all them damn babies, she needs to go ahead and get paid. he’s gonna pay up but i don’t think he’s sweating her. probably glad he’ll soon be single.

******************************************
never. he was the reason the commish made them all start wearing suits to games. expect him to now become a c-list atl club rat. dude could have went out better than that.
It’s always sad to see a family break up, especially when little ones are involved. I hope they can remain civil during this, with the baby being sick.
As for his career, the Nets could use him. Hell, I could probably lace up for the Nets and get a triple double
AI is a mess but I hope his daughter gets better!
Wasn’t Tawanna Iverson the NBA wife that ran out of her house naked because of threat of injury by her spouse some years back? Or am I mixing up NBA wives again?

YUP i was gonna mention this but i’m getting tired out from this c-list mess. she should’ve quit him then but continued to have more babies.
:OFFTOPIC:
Sandra since you always claiming black men are on the dl…check out this YT REPULICAN sentator…http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2010/03/04/crimesider/entry6266524.shtml

Mr. Plush can GET—IT. sexy ass. Sandra, any details on this gentleman?
people break up. now that AI got so much time on his hands, he apparently wants the freedom single people have. she’s giving it to him, at a price. it’s a personal matter and I hope they work it out to at least remain civil for the kids.
Slimm’s dreads look like they come off with the cap. he’s just not sexy to me…his face is too long, kinda like the characters in Antz.
YESSSSSSS finally after all these years i get my chance, i always loved AI…#dontjudgeme
lol@ pointhimout and his crush on Mr. Plush. Everytime a picture of this man is posted, he’s e-sighing and what not.
Maybe Tawanna finally has gotten it into her head that the abuse is not going to stop… and it’s time she choose herself .

threw her in the yard bucket nekkid becasu ehe foudnout she was messing around. Member of the entourgae (his cousin/uncle/ pookie) goes out there and covers her up, takes her to a safe house (traphouse, people’s house whichever yall call it) he shows uop wielding a weaopon and we findout that the dude who saved her may or may not be the fathe rof the child she is carrying.
and that child she was carrying that fateful day is the ones that’s sick now…..
but i aint the one to gossip so you ain’t heard this from me…
A.I. and his wife have been fighting on and off since the beginning. I thought they were both doing each other dirty but stayed together because that’s how hood love goes.
he is a classic case of too much, too soon. i hope he gets things together because he still has some balling left in him.
prayers for his daughter though.

After all these years, A.I. is still as sexy as ever, but he definitely has some personal demons he needs to overcome. I’ve always been an A.I. fan, but he’s been making it hard to remain one these days. SMH A.I. Get it together boo. Partying it up, when your marriage is in shambles and your daughter is sick, is just not a good look. I pray that he and his wife will do what is best for their children. Maybe they can work it out. 20 years together (8.5 married) is a lot to throw away. Granted A.I. hasn’t been a model husband and father, but still. Obviously his wife has had enough and for good reason. His life is falling apart, and he seems unfazed by it. I feel sorry for him though. His family (besides basketball) seemed to be the only thing to give him stability. Now he has neither. Sad.
I always thought AI was a cutie pie
I love me some Allen Iverson. I wish they could have work it out but like his daughter said maybe its for the best. Allen has grown up a lot if you been following him, his real fans know. I applaud him for that. No one know what happen between them but they been together since high school, maybe they grew apart.This can happen in a marriage. It time to explore other things and people. Allen is still my dude love you very much. God doesnt make no mistakes and im out.
Hello All. I’ve always had a big crush on doe-eyed Allen Iverson. He has such a passion for basketball and you have to respect that. (Most people never find their passion in life.) I’ve never respected most professional athletes, who are mostly black and make plenty of money entertaining the masses. We are so much more than entertainers. We are mathmaticians and artists, dancers and teachers, story-tellers and comedians, sweet-talkers and hustlers. WE HAVE SOUL. What we need to get rid of is so much ignorance and jealousy, then we would be something to contend with!! Oh well, let me stop preaching, let me stop dreaming. I know my mere words can’t change much but remember, the pen is mightier than the sword. (Read your Bible.) Love you SandraRose family, if only from a distance. Peace.
@netta0281
Last year you called me a lie and said I didn’t know what I was talking about. I told you Philly was going to be a disater the same that it has been at every team that he has been on. I told you to watch how it was going to turn out. Question, do you still think I don’t know what I’m talking about?
@rjk8
ok lets keep it 100& the team was fuck up before he got there so dont act like the team got like that after he got there.you still wrong and dont know what your talking about lol
Their nothing no one can say to break me or make me feel any different toward Allen Iverson…
There was a rumor going around a few years ago that the whole reason AI threw his wife out was not only because she was cheating, but because she gave him HERPES…
