“Boobie” Gibson came forward and addressed the second-degree battery charge he’s facing in Louisiana. The 27-year old free agent guard says he was simply defending his wife (singer Keyshia Cole) from a very rude person, when an altercation broke out. Per TMZ: “Daniel ‘Boobie’ Gibson says he was just defending his wife’s honor when he got into an altercation with a man at the Essence Music Festival earlier this month after the guy disrespected Keyshia Cole in a ‘profane way.’ […] Boobie says Keyshia was performing at the event when some guy approached her and spouted off some very ‘disrespectful’ comments toward the singer. Boobie says an altercation broke out and ‘safety was threatened’ so Boobie says he ‘needed to take action.’ Despite the allegations against him, Boobie says he did nothing wrong — adding, ‘I have nothing to be ashamed of or hide.'”
