Dwight Gooden Restraining Order: MLB Legend Threatened Wife And Family
Dwight Gooden was given a restraining order and was removed from his home after fighting with his estranged wife. Monique Gooden called the Bergen County Police Department on her husband after she began making threats against her and her family.
In police documents filed on March 1, Monique claimed that her soon-t0-be ex-husband made “terroristic threats” against everyone in her family. Specifically, Monique claims that Gooden said:
“All bets are off and I will hurt you and your family. You’ll see, just wait.”
Police, realizing the seriousness of the situation, immediately called a family court judge who issued a temporary restraining order on the spot. The situation was so bad that it only took the judge talking to Monique on the phone to issue the order.
Dwight Gooden and Monique are currently living in the same house as they move towards dissolving their marriage.
Along with being kicked out of his own home, Dwight has lost visitation rights with his two young children. Dwight can request renewed visitation rights when he attends the couple’s next court hearing on March 11. During the couple’s next court hearing, a judge will also determine if the temporary restraining order should be made permanent.
Dwight was not arrested during the run-in with police, and no charges have been pressed against the former MLB legend.
Along with the restraining order the judge demanded the Gooden make payments on his wife’s Range Rover and make child support payments that were already demanded during his last court appearance.
Dwight Gooden and Monique were only married for three years before she filed for divorce on November 20, 2012.
This is not the first time Dwight Gooden has attacked his wife; in 2005, he hit her after she threw a phone at him.
Gooden and his reps are not commenting at this time on the status of the restraining order or the fight that allegedly occurred.

Dwight Wooden? An unfortunate situation for all involved. And yes, proofreading is very important.

how many friendly divorces are there?–people say a lot of things they don't mean -especially if there are hurt feelings–who knows what he would do but I think it is overreacting.

Why is it that men are supposed to be totally unemotional? He hit the woman before, but after she threw a phone at him. I don't know what I would do, I hope I wouldn't hit a chick for throwing something at me, but she might have been having sex with his best friend to…we don't know what happened. And now, the woman is living in a house he bought with money from decades ago and he has to pay for her Range Rover, pay child support for children that live with him in his house and now he has to leave his house because of a restraining order. He has some anger management issues, but she may be the cause of it. Now she is about to take whatever he has left. I'm not defending him, because I don't know what happened either. I just think we should let our imaginations run wild on both sides instead of just always going for the defense of women. Women aren't too defenseless, they know to get with a rich man and take all he has. True, the dudes shouldn't be stupid enough to fall for it, but on the other hand, finding out someone has made a fool of you is enough to send you over the edge.

Wooden? Really. Editor still hung-over from the weekend uh. SMDH Come on that just kills all credibility….

You say you're not defending him but you sure could have fooled me. You've brought up every "blame the victim" angle imaginable. She's aggressive, a gold digger, and might be cheating, etc.
