As the drama between Ray Allen and his catfish accuser continues, the former baller is chalking the situation up to obsession.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Bryant K. Coleman, the accuser, claimed he was a victim of stalking and believes Allen is out to kill him. Earlier this month, Coleman filed for a temporary restraining order against the former baller, just one day before Allen’s catfish cheating scandal was exposed.

Although Allen claimed Coleman had been posing as several different women online, Coleman said the former NBA star knew exactly what he was getting himself into. In the court docs, Coleman claimed the two had a three-year relationship, but when it ended Allen reportedly called him to “ensure that I went away and never opened my mouth again.”

“He said he wanted me to get what I deserved,” Coleman added, claiming that Allen had been spying on him and his friends. Coleman also cited an incident when a man reportedly approached him in the supermarket and told him to watch his back and another incident where he received a threatening phone call from Allen. Coleman claims he believes Allen wants to harm him and is in the process of planning a “more direct attack,” as he was seen with two armed men.

However, Allen and his legal team say Coleman is lying. “As with everything related to Briant or Bryant Coleman, his petition for a restraining order was filled with falsehoods and fantasies,” Allen’s attorney said, David Markus said. “He is a seriously deranged individual who Ray Allen has never met, never spoken with directly or threatened in any way. Coleman is the stalker here who is obsessed with Ray.”

“Ray wants nothing to do with him an dis exploring all legal options to stop him from continuing to harass and threaten him, his family and friends.”
