WNBA star Brittney Griner recently opened up in a tearful interview about her marriage to fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson, describing it as a “huge mistake.” The 24-year-old filed for an annulment with Johnson just one day after Johnson announced her pregnancy, and merely a month after their wedding.
Griner candidly spoke with ESPN, expressing her regret over the rushed decision to marry Johnson. She admitted that she knew prior to the wedding that it wasn’t the right choice but felt pressured into it. Griner cited the ongoing domestic violence counseling and legal issues they were facing as contributing factors to their tumultuous relationship.
Their marriage was swiftly followed by domestic violence charges after a physical altercation, resulting in both players being suspended from seven games and Griner agreeing to undergo domestic violence counseling as part of a plea agreement. Despite their efforts to work through their differences, Griner acknowledged that they should have taken more time to address their issues before tying the knot.
In a surprising turn of events, Johnson announced her pregnancy just before Griner filed for an annulment. The timing of the announcement caught Griner off guard, leaving her stunned by the news. Griner expressed her shock during the interview and emphasized that it was too early to comment on the situation.
The emotional toll of the past months weighed heavily on Griner as she struggled to contain her tears during the interview. She described the experience as “emotional” and admitted that it had been a challenging period for her. However, Griner found solace in her commitment to focus on her career and immerse herself in the game.
The decision to file for an annulment was not taken lightly by Griner, who explained that she attempted to postpone the wedding multiple times before ultimately going through with it. Despite the mutual agreement to part ways, Johnson was reportedly blindsided by Griner’s decision, expressing her hurt and disappointment through her sports marketing agent.
Griner’s candid revelation shed light on the complexities of their relationship and the difficulties they faced both on and off the court. As she navigates through this challenging time, Griner remains determined to prioritize her career and look ahead to the future with optimism.
