Detroit — Former Detroit Piston Rasheed Wallace fouled his ex-wife by forcing her out of their mansion and leaving her penniless, threatened by the repo man and creditors during a bitter divorce that preserved his $80 million fortune, according to her lawyer.
The divorce fight reached the Michigan Court of Appeals on Tuesday, when ex-wife Fatima Sanders continued a nearly two-year quest for spousal support and a piece of the fortune — most of which was earned during their 16-year marriage.
The fight is illustrated in dozens of pages of legal filings that quote poets, cite novels, mock the 7-foot-tall Wallace’s history of committing technical fouls and featured Sanders’ lawyer calling an adversary’s legal tactics “balderdash, bumf and bushwah.
