A Bergen Country judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Brett Yormark's former girlfriend who claims that the Nets CEO promised to stay in the relationship if she had an abortion, then after she went through with the procedure dumped her.
Reyna Purcell, 34, claimed she and Yormark began dating a year ago and she became pregnant.
Although she wanted to keep the child, Yormark wanted her to have the abortion, according to the suit. In return for her agreement to the abortion, he promised to continue the relationship, Purcell claims But in February, after she went through with the abortion, he broke up with her and, she claims, refused to speak with her again.
Judge Alexander Carver on Thursday ruled promises of support in non-marital relationships are required to be in writing and nothing was. Purcell's lawyer says he is considering an appeal. After the decision, Yormark's lawyer said, “This suit was a shameful exploitation of what otherwise should have remained a private matter."

Sounds like a frivolous case
I can only imagine the slippery slope it would have created had the court ruled differently. Women across NJ would try to trap men in relationships based on alleged “promises” blurted out for any number of reasons.

How shameful...
From a womans point of view, if I was pregnant and wanted to keep my baby. No reason on God’s green earth would make me have an abortion.
I am so sick of seeing these women use their children born or unborn as bargaining chips for a big pay off.

spoken just like a woman
it’s not hers’, but theirs. And they should both be involved in decision making
and Yormark decided to screw her. Then screw her over.

But he ain't stupid.
He knows not to put anything in writing.
And she is pretty foolish. If he wanted to keep the relationship he wouldn’t have encouraged her to get the abortion. No Brains.
Meanwhile Yormarket now has a clean separation. The woman should have learned a big lesson in the process.
That's embarassing...
but she’s absurdly naive if she truly believed what he said
Seriously, even I never met Yormark, and I know not to believe anything that presents
Of course, he preys on foolish women
Avery Johnson can go Outlaw himself.

I mean...
if you’re going to base a relationship on something like that… you have to know it’s time to walk away. She does not sound like a smart woman.
word is he was unsure of the baby's gender so before the abortion got a reversible shirt for the baby
one side said “daddy’s boy” the other said “momma’s girl”
Rumor has it what really teed him off was when she suggested they get kinky and wear paper bags

she is an idiot
1) if she had an abortion, she wanted an abortion. her choice.
2) he isnt married to her. why would he have any obligation here to keep dating her afterwards
3) she should have slept with proky.. would have been somewhat more lucrative (one would have to think proky has a fund for such things).
You can tell Orangeeater
would’ve been a great whore if he was a woman just by comment #3 lol

Well at least now that it is public, no one can try to bribe Yormarket.
I didn’t read the details, but I wonder if she was asking for money to keep it quiet?
If so, glad he didn’t give in.
silly thing to asume
if that was the case, it would have been brought up in this case by the defense.
I thought Yormark was married...
I could of sworn I remember him thanking his wife and kids during the ground breaking at Barclays.
Yeah me too...
Didn’t he say he with his family the night he scolded those two guys for wearing paper bags over their heads, and that’s what ticked him off ?
“Sit down and shut up you jerks…and we do truly appreciate you coming out tonight”
I would imagine he is divorced by now... from December 2008 article on Brett...
http://www.nj.com/nets/index.ssf/2008/12/nets_executive_promotes_new_je.html
He calls his love of work “freakish — my closest friends think I’m a nut case.” And while he concedes that it has “compromised certain things in my personal life” he is undergoing a divorce.
The judge
should not express his feelings on abortion, which is what he did with that last statement.
yourmark played her
She shoulda had a baby by Outlaw, then his salary would be going to something good.
yo that's racist!
nah, i just wanted to say it. since it’s being tossed around all over the media these days…
Avery Johnson can go Outlaw himself.

Interplanetary marriages are strictly forbidden.
My God, we are still in the Dark Ages!
it could go either way, alot of girls hook up with Proky and the other oligarchs all the time hoping for a “Blue Dream” = baby, but some guys who are married win up beating their girlfriends up, inducing a miscarriage and some like his bud Boris Nemtsov have a baby mama and 2 kids and have a wife with kids too. Most of the married oligarchs don’t even pay attention to the legal kids they do have so it’s all about the multi million dollar lifestyle of the baby mama not the kid.
