We are so disappointed in Jason Kidd. According to divorce papers his wife Joumana filed, he cheated on her with six women. Six? Jeesh, we thought it’d be in the thousands.
Anyway, court papers, filed by super lawyer Raoul Felder on behalf of Joumana, have so many nuggets, we hope this fight drags on for like ever.
