NBA Baller Richard Jefferson Gets Cold Feet, Dumps Fiancee Two Days Before Wedding
Posted by Media Outrage on July 16, 2009
Richard Jefferson who will now play for the Sanantonio Spurs dumped his fiancee only 2 days before their $2 million wedding. Worst thing about it is, he did it via email while on a plane to Paris. We were wrong, the worst thing is that he did NOT notify some of his family and friends, so they still showed up to the swanky Mandarin Oriental hotel dressed and ready to throw rice. SMH.
Via NYPost:
Former New Jersey Net star Richard Jefferson bailed on his stunning fiancée — pulling the plug on his posh Manhattan wedding at the 11th hour without even alerting some of the guests, The Post has learned.
The cold-footed forward’s decision to ditch onetime Net dancer Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols was so last-minute that some of his oblivious friends had already shown up last Saturday at the swank Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle for the $2 million wedding that never happened.
Jefferson — who was traded in June to the San Antonio Spurs — dumped Nichols just before the weekend, according to sources.
She immediately called her family and friends to say the ceremony was off.
But Jefferson waited much longer, his friends told The Post.
“He called about two hours before the wedding. It was nuts,” said one Jefferson pal.
He never showed up at the hotel, but “all his boys were there,” the friend said. “He gave his best friend the Black Amex [credit card] for the night.”
Jefferson’s guests made good use of the credit card to party on their pal’s dime.
Nichols did check in to the hotel on what was to have been her wedding day, and was upgraded to a suite on the 45th floor with a king-sized bed and a Central Park view, according to a source at the Mandarin.
The would-be bride was stunned, but “not entirely caught off-guard,” by Jefferson’s unsportsmanlike conduct, according to a family friend.
“She just wants to keep this as quiet as possible and move on. She’s doing just fine,” a Nichols family insider said.
Mediaoutrage- Wow, we understand calling off the wedding if you’re not ready to abstain from your stable of jump-offs but not notifying your boys and family? LOL!

I dont blame him, dont ever do nothing if your not 100% sure of it, or 100% wanting it also. and never let anyone push you into something you are not ready for fuck that, i dont give a damn what they look like, or have, looks dont mean shit, nor does it mean you have the perfect mate. i aint mad at him!!

He was stupid to try and Marry a jump off anyway. He probably got her “Sexual credit history report” and said fuck it! My thing is why would he spend that kind of money on a fucking NETS dancer?!??!?!

Yeah, it was better for him to dump her before the getting to the altar!
Cause two of my friends just got divorces, its messy and a horrible event!!

His Paris jump-off must have called him and then sent a pic to his phone of her deepthroating a bananna and pickle.

Richard could have handled the cancellation of the wedding better but IMO it was best to call it off now if he had any doubts and lose $2 million, than get married, stay together for a year or two and lose 10 times that much in the divorce settlement.

That’s the rumor I’ve been hearing 1coolazzchic, his man was standing for being second too no one, especially a beautiful woman. His ex fiancée is taking it well because she knew about his down low status and was paid very well to keep her mouth shut. I guess we will be seeing her on some dating reality show in the near future.

Oh man ..you know how many ppl going to talk trash about him on the court and locker room ? not good
Yeah I Said It said
She could’nt tell dude wear panties by the dark eye shadow over his lids. The light blush on his lips and the foundation on his skin.
He did good to tell her over email, he could have said nothing and allowed her and her peeps to show up for nothing and got a bball bat beat down behind it.
Me myself I would have filled the gas cans, and char-grilled his D*ck-sucking,booty-poppin trick ass.

Yeah, I heard he was a tambarine player also, and she is taking it so welll because he gave her a half a milli. Shit some of these golddiggers are new and improved these days, I guess he is saving him and his man lover some trouble down the road. His decision to break up with her was so abrupt because he heard the dude from the Tyler Perry movies broke up with his lover and he is going after that piece. He sprung for them to go to the French Rivieeeeeeeera

I can’t say I blame him- better to end it beforehand than lose twice as much in a divorce. Gay or not, he would have been a dumb ass to marry a jumpoff cheerleader. I guess he figures ya’ll can call him a lot of names, but stupid or broke won’t be any of them…
