Six-time NBA All-Star Amare Stoudemire expected Saturday to be a day full of celebration as he was graduating from the University of Miami with a master’s degree. Unfortunately for him, it ended with him in jail following battery charges after he hit his daughter.
According to a report from notorious talk show host Andy Slater, Amare Stoudemire was arrested on Saturday night just hours after receiving his master’s degree. He told police he gave his daughter a “whooping” because she was being “disrespectful and a liar.” The incident apparently led to blood, as Slater reports that police saw blood stains.
“JUST IN: Former NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire was arrested in Miami on Saturday just hours after graduating with a master’s degree. Stoudemire, charged with battery, allegedly told cops his daughter ‘received a whooping from him for being disrespectful and a liar,’ sources say,” Slater reported in a Tweet. “Stoudemire allegedly punched his daughter in the jaw and slapped her several times after ‘giving attitude,’ according to a law-enforcement source. Police say they saw blood stains. Stoudemire’s bond is listed at $1,500.”
These are certainly horrible accusations against the former NBA All-Star. He has been out of the NBA since 2016 and hasn’t played basketball since 2020, when he played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
