Rajon Rondo is in the news for all the wrong reasons on Monday.
Earlier today, TMZ reported that his longtime girlfriend, Ashley Bachelor, is filing a protective order after she alleged the point guard pulled a gun and threatened to kill her in front of their two kids.

Per TMZ Sports:
“Bachelor says Rajon — a 2x NBA champ and 4x All-Star — was playing video games with his son on May 11 … when Ashley asked the boy to separate laundry. Bachelor says Rajon became enraged and ripped the game console out of the wall in front of the kid.
Ashley says Rajon then continued the destructive behavior, smashing everything from a teacup to outdoor lights and trash cans.
Bachelor says the kids were upset after witnessing their dad losing it, so she tried to “deescalate” the situation. But, she says Rajon responded by making a death threat, allegedly saying, “You’re dead.”
Rondo temporarily left the home, according to Ashley, before returning about 15 minutes later, when he allegedly approached a back door and began banging on the window with his gun.
Bachelor says she didn’t know what was going on, so she approached the door from the inside to take a look. She allegedly saw Rondo with the weapon and asked him to stop because he was scaring her. She says Rondo didn’t listen, and instead yelled, “Go get my f**king son!”
Ashley says she feared if she didn’t comply with the alleged gun-wielding hoops star something bad may happen, so she brought their son, Pierre, downstairs, but kept the backdoor closed.
Soon after, Ashley says Pierre opened the door and Rondo “yanked him outside.”
Bachelor says Rondo, who was still allegedly holding his gun, was screaming at Pierre, asking why the boy was scared of his dad.
Ashley, who claims her son was “visibly upset,” says she didn’t intervene because she was scared Rajon would shoot her.”
Ashley Bachelor also told the court that she fears for her life due to Rajon Rondo’s recent behavior.
“I am extremely fearful for my safety and for the safety of my children. Rajon has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior. He is verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive. He physically hits our son and calls him names like ‘p***y’ and accuses him of acting like a ‘bitch.’”
“Rajon verbally assaults our daughter. He calls her names like ‘thot, bitch, and d**khead.’ Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car.”
Rajon Rondo spent the last season playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But appeared in just 21 games due to injuries.
We’ll await any more information on this troubling story.
