Chile, the messiness continues with recent exes Matt Barnes and Anansa Sims. What initially seemed to be a mature breakup has turned into nothing but drama—and now the two of them are currently at war on social media and coming with the receipts to prove it.
As we previously reported earlier this week in an exclusive Roommate Talk, Anansa claims that she is being stalked and threatened by Matt and his sister Danielle Barnes—she also alleges that he is using social media to paint the picture that she is a bitter baby mama like he did with his ex-wife (and mother of his two sons) Gloria Govan. As you’ll recall, Matt and Anansa have a young son together named Ashton.
Fast forward a few days later and things are messier than ever between the former couple. Matt is now accusing Anansa of posting text messages sent between them that have altered, taking fake photos from Google to make it seem like she’s been traveling and attempting to get $15,000 a month from him in child support when she only receives $1,100 for her three sons with her ex-husband.
In response to Matt’s claims, Anansa posted the following lengthy message regarding all the drama:
“Since our break up a month and a half ago, I have honored Matt’s requests to see our son and he has seen him on every request except one on February 17th, 2020 that I rescheduled through our attorneys due to the restraining order. Matt did not show up to the visit that was scheduled on Monday, February 24th, 2 days after his post was made.
The statement that Matt made on his post February 22nd, 2020 was not truthful. Particularly “Hopefully I’m allowed to see you soon”, alluding to a falsehood that I had kept him from seeing our son, Ashton. This statement was false, hurtful and damaging. The post got the reaction he was looking for. Matt mislead our friends, his followers and fans into attacking me in his comments, in my comments and my dm’s, because they were given false information. It widend the divide between black men and black women with the false narrative of the black mother keeping her child away from the black father. It is particularly egregious when men of power and privilege misuse their platform to abuse, threaten and silence.
The pictures and videos posted on Matt’s highlights and main feed are not old. They are true to the date. Our visitation schedule will be determined by the Judge not by me. I grew up as a child of divorced parents. I’m blessed that both of my parents played an active role in raising me. My father was my best friend and role model for what a father should be. I believe that fathers should be in their children’s lives 1000%. I prefer family matters be private, but it was necessary that I respond publicly. If you do not tell your story, someone else will. I look forward to co-parenting peacefully. – Anansa Sims”
We’re sure this story is far from over…and we’ll definitely keep you posted on what’s next.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
