The Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen divorce saga seems to be never ending. While the duo has reportedly been trying to work out their differences, it’s being said that Scottie has a violent past.

According to RadarOnline, although Scottie Pippen has been livid with Larsa’s rumored cheating with rapper Future, the star has his own dirty laundry. The star has reportedly been secretly arrested for domestic battery.

The site reports that more than 20 years before police were reportedly called to the family’s Florida home twice in a month for domestic disturbances, the basketball legend was arrested for getting physical with Larsa.

According to the Illinois’ Lake County Circuit Court records obtained by the site, Pippen was charged with two counts of domestic battery stemming from a May 1995 incident.

During that summer, The Chicago Sun Times reported that Scottie’s then fiancée, Yvette DeLeone told police that he had grabbed her arm and then pushed her into a car in the garage of their Highland Park home during an explosive fight.

DeLeone later told police officers that the basketball star had abused her in previous incidents. After three hearings, both charges were ultimately dropped in July 1995.

DeLeone told prosecutors that she no longer wished to pursue the charges.

Although insiders close to Larsa and Scottie have revealed that police officers were called to their home numerous times, nothing physical happened between the couple.

The divorce is still in proceedings as the basketball star has asked the court for full custody of their children and also begged the court to not order him to pay Larsa any alimony.

While rumors have been circulating that the two are trying to work things out, neither party has confirmed or denied any of the allegations.
