Former Cleveland Cavalier Daniel “Boobie” Gibson was charged with assault and battery after he turned himself into New Orleans police earlier today.
Details surrounding the case are unclear, but there are reports that the alleged attack occurred at the Essence Festival earlier this month with Gibson, who is also singer Keyshia Cole’s husband.
According to TMZ:
Gibson tells us … “Earlier this month during the Essence Music Festival, I was involved in an incident with other individuals while I was out with my wife.”
He continues, “It’s unfortunate that some see opportunity in taking advantage of people who work hard for what they have achieved.”
Gibson says he takes pride in being a role model for his son and other kids who look up to him — and adds, “Once all the facts of the incident come out, I expect to be fully vindicated.”
