Two-time NBA champ Rajon Rondo allegedly pulled a gun on the mother of his children and threatened to kill her during a heated altercation, while the woman claims their kids witnessed the whole thing, according to TMZ Sports.

The alleged incident occurred on May 11, while Rondo was playing video games with their son and Ashley Bachelor (Rondo's former partner and mother of his two kids) asked the boy to help fold laundry.

As reported by TMZ, Bachelor says Rajon became enraged and ripped the game console out of the wall in front of the kid. The NBAer then continued the destructive behavior, smashing everything from a teacup to outdoor lights and trash cans.

The kids were upset after witnessing their dad losing it, so Bachelor tried to "deescalate" the situation. Though, she says Rajon responded by making a death threat, saying, "You're dead."

After leaving the premises briefly, Rondo allegedly returned with a gun.

With his mom and dad both arriving at home, Rondo eventually left the scene.

In her emergency order of protection, Bachelor wrote that Rondo "has a history of volatile, erratic, explosive behavior" and 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 'b**ch'.

Rajon verbally assaults our daughter. He calls her names like 't**t, b**ch, and d**khead'. Rajon has made several threats on my life, saying at various times he will shoot me or shoot up my car," Ashley Bachelor stressed.

Rondo has yet to be arrested and charged with any crime, via TMZ. The 36-year-old point guard split time between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2021-22 season.
