Scottie Pippen denies physical violence vs wife Lara amid 911 call recordings

Former basketball player Scottie Pippen has addressed the calls that have been made by his wife Larsa, early October claiming that her husband was getting "aggressive" with her.

According to People, the two calls made to police by Real Housewives of Miami star were on the same week. The calls were made from Scotties and Larsa's Fort Lauderdale home for domestic disturbances.

A statement released by the former NBA player Scottie Pippen lawyer read, "Mr. Pippen is aware that some members of the press have obtained 911 recordings recently made by Ms. Pippen. While these recordings speak for themselves, Ms. Pippen did not make any allegations of physical violence by Mr. Pippen,"

Scottie's attorney Roberta G. Stanley said in a statement to People on Tuesday, "Although Mr. and Ms. Pippen both have public personas, their divorce is a private matter. Mr. Pippen requests that the press respect his "privacy and that of his family during this time."

The first call was made on October 1, which TMZ posted, where Larsa was crying asking the officer to come to her home because her husband is being "really, really aggressive with me." Scottie can be heard in the background saying that the domestic disturbance is verbal so officer need not send anyone, to which Larsa agrees. The dispatcher says that one has already been called.

In the second call made on October 4, uploaded by TMZ, Larsa says that her husband has "gotten crazy again with me." She also said that her husband was breaking things and scaring her.

Scottie,51, filed for divorce from Larsa on Oct.18, according to Florida court records. Lara was notified of the filing on Thursday.

These calls were made weeks ago before Scottie filed for divorce. Larsa and Scottie have been married for 19 years and have four children together.
