First reported by numerous media outlets, the news is that a woman who claimed that she dated Derrick Rose from 2011 to 2013, is now claiming he and a couple of his friends drugged her and raped her in 2011. Reports also say Rose broke in to the house as well. One of the friends accused is Rose's personal manager.
She apparently didn't first report the case because she was "ashamed and embarrassed."
If these rumors turn out to be true, it could get ugly for the Chicago Bulls superstar.
It hasn't been a quiet offseason for the Bulls guard. He was accused of having a feud between teammate Jimmy Butler during the playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although both Butler and Rose have denied a rift, the feeling around Chicago is that it still exists.
The Chicago Bulls and Rose have yet to comment on the situation. But as the investigation begins to open up, more and more facts will be shown and we can all get a better understanding of the situation. Right now it is barely an accusation and a charge hasn't been made against Rose.
Losing Rose would obviously be a huge for the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls were expecting to make a deep playoff run behind the duo of Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose. The potential media mess that this news will create will cast a dark cloud on this season.
The Bulls have gotten used to Rose not on the court as he has missed multiple seasons due to knee injuries but this time it's different. This time, Rose may not come back.
It has been a horrible summer for Chicago sports stars as Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane was accused of rape as well this summer.
Right now these are just rumors and all basketball fans are hoping that this is just a crazy rumor, but it will be a shame if this news turns out to be true.
