The WNBA star, 24, broke down as she described the ’emotional’ past few months in an interview with ESPN
She filed for an annulment with Glory Johnson last Friday – just a day after Johnson announced that she is pregnant and a month after they wed
The month before, they were both arrested in a domestic dispute
In the interview, Griner said she knew she didn’t want to marry Johnson but she felt ‘pressured’ and ‘went along with it’
WNBA star Brittney Griner has said in a tearful interview that her marriage to Glory Johnson was a ‘huge mistake’.
The 24-year-old filed for an annulment with Glory Johnson-Griner last Friday, just a day after Johnson-Griner announced she’s pregnant and only a month after the two players wed.
Just days after filing the paperwork, Griner spoke candidly to ESPN about her decision.
‘Prior to us getting married, I knew I didn’t want to… I shouldn’t have went through with it,’ she said. ‘I talked to Gloria about it but, 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.’
Tearful: Brittney Griner struggled to contain her emotions as she spoke to ESPN about filing for an annulment from her new bride, fellow WNBA star Glory Johnson, last Friday after only weeks of marriage
Struggle: She sobbed when asked how the past 10 months have been. ‘Emotional,’ she responded
The 6-foot-8 Phoenix Mercury star married Johnson just three weeks after they were both arrested on domestic violence charges for a fight at their home in suburban Phoenix.
Both players were suspended seven games after their arrests and Griner agreed to undergo 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling as part of a plea agreement.
In the aftermath of the fight, both players apologized and said they worked out their differences – but Griner said she should have given herself more time before they walked down the aisle.
