NBA Star, Richard Jefferson Saves Himself The Grief By Not Marrying Fiance

NBA player, Richard Jefferson and Kesha N. Nichols
in what looks like happier days before
reality set in.


The web is abuzz about the highly publicised postponement of the nuptials of the NBA star to his fiance, Kesha Nichols. The former Nets player Richard Jefferson dumped his bride-to-be, Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols, just days before their walk down the aisle via email. Jefferson told sources that there was a lot of stress and tension in the relationship and that they’ve been through a lot — but we just couldn't continue he said during a telephone interview.

It seems at least seems like Nichols got a nice parting gift — Jefferson, who was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the San Antonio Spurs last month, said is giving her a “six-figure” settlement so she can start a new life. Jefferson has refused to say a negative word about Kesha and has stated that she is still one of his best friends to the woman, who he courted for nearly five years.

He also said things came to a head when they celebrated July 4 in LA, a week before their planned July 11 wedding at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental on Columbus Circle. After Nichols boarded a plane back to New York the next day, Jefferson said, he sent her the devastating e-mail. The couple had planned to top off their $500,000 wedding with a honeymoon in London, where they had tickets to one of the Michael Jackson comeback shows.

Of the money he’s giving Nichols, Jefferson has said that he's not trying to buy her off, he just wants her to have a lump sum to help her move on with her life. (Good for him to care enough to comfort her embarrassment.) He also added that he also made mistakes in the relationship, 100 percent of the time. But at the end of the day, there were some people who were responsible for the demise of it.

He has even had to field the ever present rumor that he’s gay, which has nothing to do with the breakup. Jefferson has said that he is not gay and that couldn't be any further from the truth and he has nothing to hide. Even if it is true, that still does not have anything to do with this man coming to his senses and not thinking with his "little head" stuck in a zipper like most of these ball players and celebrities often do.

Most people know that they are with people that they don't want to marry, but go on with the whole ceremony because they are cowards and ashamed to admit that they want to call off the wedding for fear of what others will say about them. Reports have claimed that she knew, but insisted on acting as if everything was okay to save face. The jilted bride, a former Net dancer, checked into the Mandarin and spent what would have been her wedding night in a luxury suite.
They reportedly wasted 2 million dollars for the whole shebang! Well 2 million dollars is always better than half of what he's worth, especially if she did not love him in the first place.

This whole incident has some women calling 'foul' because of what he did to her. You can't build a marriage if there is no foundation to start with and money and beauty disappear over time. Some women don't realize that when a man has canceled the nuptials, he has saved you a lifetime of pain and heartache. I say, move on, establish your own life and path because a man is not a plan regardless of how much money he's worth! Get your own!

One thing that I have to agree with Jefferson when he said.“If you aren’t 100 percent certain about something, you shouldn't do it." At least he didn't have to go through the extremes as some jilted grooms and brides have done so in the past, no one kidnapped him and took him to Mexico. He spoke the truth, now that's a "Slam Dunk", one of the best I've seen in a long time, common sense prevailed for once.Sphere: Related Content
