Kysre Gondrezick's complicated relationship with Kevin Porter Jr.
The relationship between Gondrezick and her ex-boyfriend, Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr., has been fraught with complications. The couple found themselves in the spotlight following an incident in September 2023, when Porter Jr. was arrested and charged with assault and strangulation.
The incident took place in a Manhattan hotel, where Porter Jr. allegedly assaulted Gondrezick, leaving her with a broken bone in her neck. The severity of the assault was such that Gondrezick had to be taken to NYU Langone Medical Center, where doctors confirmed she had suffered a fractured vertebra in her neck.
The incident led to Porter Jr.'s arrest and subsequent media scrutiny. However, in a surprising turn of events, Gondrezick later denied the allegations that Porter hit her or punched her during the argument. In the aftermath of the incident, Porter Jr. was released on $75,000 bail. The case has since been under investigation, with Porter Jr. due back in court in October.
