Brittney Griner testifies in ugly divorce battle; Glory Johnson says she needs $20k per month
PHOENIX - WNBA star Brittany Griner was back in court Monday trying to convince a judge she should not have to pay alimony to her ex-wife, basketball player Glory Johnson.
Johnson is seeking $20,000 a month after her 28-day marriage ended with Griner.
In court, Johnson’s lawyers argued because she's pregnant with twins, via an IVF procedure she underwent while still with Griner, her doctor won't clear her to play basketball so she won't get paid.
Appearing by phone, Johnson said she's already in debt.
She's asking $7,000 a month for her food budget and $6,000 for hired help and the rest to live on.
“When I go to the grocery store I literally spend $300 every week, sometimes it's less because I don’t have it,” Johnson testified.
On paper Griner will make about $1 million this year but says she has expenses too.
“Even with your contract with Nike and your WNBA contract would you be able to pay $20,000 a month?” asked Griner’s lawyer, “No.” Griner responded flatly.
The judge has 60-days to decide if Griner should pay alimony.
