The lives of Tantrum-prone Bernard Tomic and Headbutting partner in crime John Tomic have been ungraciously revealed by Tomic’s former hitting partner, Thomas Drouet. From the diaries during his time with the Tomics Drouet has made public it’s obvious that he probably isn’t Team Tomic’s number one fan after Papa Tomic inexplicably delivered a Zidane-like, elaborate headbutt to the unsuspecting Frenchman. Actually, you could say that Drouet actually fucking loathes Team Tomic, judging by his desire to publish an extraordinarily unflattering portrait of the family from his diaries during his seven month long tour.
Drouet traumatically sums up John Tomic’s notoriously unpredictable behaviour, saying, “I never know how John will behave from one day to the next. Every day you never know how he is going to react to something or how he is going to behave, maybe nice, maybe not. Always it’s stress, every day stress.“
Drouet also mentions John Tomic’s cruel pay cut he delivered on Christmas Day, no less, when he told Drouet, “I pay you too much…if you don’t want, you can go home.” He recounts a harrowing incident when John Tomic shot Bernard, Thomas and coach Salva Sosa with BB guns on the leg for fun, and claims that the father/son duo are “always yelling.“
John Tomic was found guilty of assault on May 4 this year and has been handed a suspended eight month good-behaviour sentence.
