Nowitzki story getting stranger

0506cristal_mo.jpgFirst we find out a woman who has been living with Mavericks star Dirk Nowtizki is wanted on felony warrants.

Next it's Cristal Taylor, 37, has been living at Nowtizki's Preston Hollow mansion for about a year.

Now, reportedly, she could even be pregnant with his child.

It's a bizarre series of events as the Mavs struggle in their second-round playoff series with the Denver Nuggets.

The team is saying it knew nothing about Taylor.

Apparently, Nowtizki didn't know much about her past, either.

This is a major personal drama, that could have an impact on Nowitzki's performance on the court. Think about it. Are you distracted at work when you're going through personal problems. How about if the person you are planning to marry turns out to be full of lies?

It's not easy. And it's too bad. Dirk is one of the good guys.

You can follow the latest developments in the story here.

I feel bad for Dirk. If she is indeed his fiancee, i bet he feels it was all a lie. Next time Dirk do a background check. You can't trust no one. I also bet she has been stashing away some ih his money.

jeffs said:

yes she's been stashing it alright. sounds like she may be carrying it around with her.

Reportedly? Unless you're willing to name names, you don't have much credibility here.

BillyBob said:

Aaron, when are you guys able to get in and talk to Dirk directly? I want to hear what he has to say about this.

Also...Mark Cuban is VERY paranoid about people knowing who is wife and kids are. He doesn't even want her to be on camera. Is it possible that some of this paranoia has rubbed off on Dirk and that's why we haven't heard anything about her before?

Micah said:

Dirk has worked hard to keep his private life private. And then all this. She is going to jail for a long time....apparently. The Mavs are done.

Jerome said:

WFAA and the DMN are running this into the ground because it makes a great story. None of this is true, and they're only embarrassing themselves. Stop with the nonsense which should be reserved for The Enquirer.

Reading this gives me douche chills.

Sue said:

I don't know what to think, but I do think it is none of our business as long as Dirk isn't doing something illegal.

Go Mavs!!!!!

BillyBob,
Dirk just talked for the first time, but didn't say anything of consequence about it. Other than he's keeping his private life private.

Jerome,
Do you have some information you are not sharing with us?
These are court and police records about her previous incidents.

Jackie said:

I also think that Dirk being who he is, and the people surrounding him like his manager, his should have watched his back for him. I mean the guy is a superstar. He needs someone to watch out for him. A simple private investigator would have done the job. Poor Dirk, it's bad enough with the playoff pressure, but now his whole life has been rocked! Shame on you, Cristal Taylor, you should have been more honest with Dirk.

Jerome said:

Aaron,

The point of my comment was not to argue about her previous record. The point of the comment was to complain on why a reputable news organization would immediately assume that since this woman is staying at his house, it's immediately his girlfriend.

I've been in Dallas for some time and have seen and been around him randomly over the years. I'm not a personal friend of his, but from my observations he's always had the same woman with him who was said to be his girlfriend. This woman is not her.

Jerome,
The information is from our reporters who have talked to their friends. It's not something pulled out of no where.

frijolera said:

@sue harboring a fugitive is a crime and ignorance is not a defense. If the FBI wanted to I think they could screw dirk over.

karen said:

Hmmmm...exactly HOW many different alias names did she have? This says alot to me. Someone going by so many different identities MUST be hiding something. To me it is PERFECTLY plausible that Dirk had NO idea about any of her past. Would not be the first time a man was taken advantage of......sounds like the she-cow was looking for a free ride and got busted, and Dirk is merely an innocent who was taken advantage of.

Karen,
I count 8 aliases on one of the indictments.

Jokes,
Things they have in common and things they don't:)

Dirk was doing Cristal? Hopefully, he won't be entered into the NBA's drug program.
She writes hot checks and he dates hot Czechs.
He plays no defense, she needs a good defender......
He shoots and scores........If she is really pregnant, then he shot and she scored................
If she is pregnant with twins, does that mean he double dribbled?
If she only thought she was pregnant and Dirk finds out that she's not, who is supposed to yell, "AIR-BALL(s)"
Dirk maxed out with a 7 year NBA contract, wears the same uniform, and number since he was signed.............She will also max out with about 7 years, wear a uniform, and have a number assigned too............She will also have to play with at least 4 different guards during her assigned years as well.....
Dirk has not tried to get her out of jail. I expect that emotionally, he will rebound........

I remember being petrified in getting serious with anyone because of my past. I knew I had to tell the truth. It is awful what Dirk is going through and then to fall in love with a dishonest person. A good relationship had better be open and honest.
What Dirk is going through is tough for him I hope the Mavs pull through. He may be more determined yet could be some distraction.
Until the facts become more public let's not judge anyone.
She may have been honest and the pressure he is going through decided he could not take the heat and ruin his reputaion. According to an additional news cast Dirk was forwarned about her
