Brittany Griner married her girlfriend and fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson just weeks after their domestic violence spat that led to both of them getting arrested and Johnson with serious injuries. A month into their marriage, Griner filed for an annulment and Johnson revealed that she was pregnant. With the situation getting increasingly messy, Griner sat down for an interview with ESPN and revealed her regrets.
“Prior to us getting married, I knew I didn’t want to,…I shouldn’t have went through with it,” she continued. “You know, sometimes you feel pressured into things, and I went along with it. And I know I shouldn’t have. It was a huge mistake. I just knew it was a mistake.”
Griner said with everything going on and with the counseling, it just wasn’t the right way to start off a marriage. She said they both agreed to get a divorce or annulment and that it’s in writing through text messages.
Griner describes the past 10 months as emotional and then broke down in tears.
She says she’s just going to submerge herself in basketball.
