Jason Kidd claimed in divorce papers to be a victim of spousal abuse on Tuesday and on Wednesday, his wife's attorney rejected claims Wednesday the New Jersey Nets point guard had reason to fear the woman.

"He says he's threatened by her? He's a star athlete. She's 5-foot-2 I think, and 105 pounds," said celebrity New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder, one of the attorneys representing Joumana Kidd.

"It's shameful what he did here. The truth will come out," Felder said of the allegations.
