"Last Wednesday, Glory and I agreed to either legally separate, get divorced, or annul our marriage," Griner said in a statement Friday. "I can confirm that today I filed for an annulment. In the week prior to the wedding, I attempted to postpone the wedding several times until I completed counseling, but I still went through with it. I now realize that was a mistake."Despite Griner's statement that the couple had discussed a divorce or annulment, Johnson's agent, D.J. Fisher, said in a statement late Friday that she was unaware of the filing and was "extremely hurt and blindsided" by Griner's actions.
"She loves Brittney and made a huge sacrifice to carry a child, put her career on hold, invest in their relationship and their future," Fisher said, adding that Johnson was requesting privacy.
The two WNBA stars married May 8, just three weeks after both were arrested in Arizona on domestic violence charges.
Griner entered a diversion program, agreeing to plead guilty to disorderly conduct and attend 26 weeks of counseling. Once the Phoenix Mercury center completes the program, the charge will be wiped fromer record. Johnson's case was transferred to a jurisdiction without a diversion program, so her case is still pending. She must either fight the case in court or reach a plea agreement.The news of Griner's filing comes one day after Johnson announced on that she is pragnant.. The Tulsa Shock later confirmed that Johnson would miss the 2015 WNBA season due to the pregnancy.
