ancient Los Angeles Lakers star Christian Wood accused his ex Yasmine Lopez of placing a tracking device in your child’s diaper bag to try to find out his home address, Us Weekly can report exclusively.
On Tuesday, Jan. 6, Wood, 30, who shares a 2-year-old son named Kobe with Lopez, filed court documents claiming the device was found by his sister after a recent custody exchange.
Wood claimed that his sister went into Kobe’s diaper bag and “discovered a crack inside the backpack, which contained a ’tile’ tracking device.” (According to court documents, Lopez denied Wood’s claim that she was tracking him.)
“The tracking device was carefully hidden inside Kobe’s diaper bag with the intention of not being found,” Wood alleged. “It was never visible or disclosed, and I have not authorized any tracking devices to be placed on Kobe’s belongings.”
He explained: “Based on the concealment of the tracking device, it was placed for the purpose of tracking my movements and location through Kobe. This would give (López) confidential information, identifying my residence and whereabouts. The court has ordered that (López) be prohibited from obtaining this information.”

As Us first reported, Wood was granted primary custody of Kobe. The order was modified to allow Lopez time with her son.
“The last time (Lopez) had my home address, there was an attempt on my life. My safety has been compromised again because of (Lopez),” the former NBA star wrote. “Placing the hidden tracking device in Kobe’s diaper bag was a conscious attempt to monitor Kobe and I, it was not a mistake.”

Wood wrote, “I am extremely concerned for my safety and the safety of Kobe. (López) has continually demonstrated to me and this Court that he has no regard for the orders of this Court. Ms. Lopez is so focused on obtaining my residential address, that she has used Kobe as an instrument to do so.”
“I’m not sure what information (Lopez) has gathered from this tracking device, and as a result, I’m now looking for 24/7 personal security to prevent my life from being taken.”
A representative for Yasmine clarified her exclusive use of the tracking device we. “Yasmine uses location trackers for both of her children at all times as a standard safety measure. The device is kept in their school or diaper bags and travels with them daily, even when they are with family members such as Yasmine’s mother. This practice has been in place for some time and is not specific or directed at Christian. It is simply part of Yasmine’s approach to ensuring the safety and peace of mind of her children.”
In court documents filed the same day, Lopez accused Wood of improperly obtaining his temporary restraining order. She flatly denied playing any part in the attempt to break into Wood’s home.
Lopez claimed that Wood used the break-in at his home “to distract him and try to get custody of our son.”
