Minnesota Timberwolves star center Rudy Gobert has battled through a lot to prove his worth. Even though he won Defensive Player of the Year, many fans, analysts, and peers did not see him as a good player. But now he and his teammates have made it back to the Western Conference Finals.

Last time around, he was the subject of incessant trolling after Luka Doncic embarrassed him. Draymond Green and Shaquille O’Neal joined in along with the Slovenian to troll Gobert. All of this kept reinforcing the notion that the Frenchman was not that great a defender as he was touted to be.

This also happened a few weeks after he won his fourth DPOY award. Green and a few others asked if statistics were the only way to determine defensive excellence, as they felt there was no other explanation to award him that trophy four times.

But at that time, his girlfriend Julia Bonilla came out to defend him. She believed he was clapping back every time anyone doubted his prowess as a basketball player. A couple of weeks later, she gave birth to a son.

Now, as per TMZ, Bonilla and her son are out of Gobert’s life. The Minnesota Timberwolves star kicked both of them out of his house before the start of the playoffs. That explains why she was last seen courtside in the regular season finale.

Sources confirmed to TMZ that Bonilla was pregnant with her second child. Now that she is out of his house, she wants to return to France. But apparently, the big man is using his lawyers to try and keep her here so that they can figure out child custody once the Wolves’ season ends.

Fans tear into Rudy Gobert for leaving pregnant girlfriend and child out in the streets

When news of this situation spread, basketball fans were taken aback. They did not appreciate how Rudy Gobert threw his girlfriend, pregnant with their second child, out on the streets. Moreover, they were aghast that he also told her to take their son along with her.

All of this is reminiscent of how his teammate Anthony Edwards has been with other women over the past year. He, too, has left women on the side after impregnating them. Fans joked that Edwards’ influence has enabled Gobert to go along the same path. Check out examples of those comments below.

This incident surprised many, as Julia Bonilla was one of Rudy Gobert’s strongest supporters. Every time anyone questioned his abilities as a basketball player, she was there to remind them of how uninformed they are. Therefore, many did not understand why the Paris Olympics silver medalist did this. However, a social media post from Bonilla might have clues.

Julia Bonilla responds to Rudy Gobert’s actions

Julia Bonilla is from France and wanted to get back to her country with her son after her boyfriend, Rudy Gobert, kicked them out. But now she has been pressured into staying back until child custody is settled. But she decided to speak out and clarify some rumors.

I considered Rudy the love of my life. I left everything for him. I gave him a child and poured my heart into our relationship. When everyone criticized him and insulted him, I stood by him, always putting him first and choosing him, always.
