WNBA guard Lexie Brown has a bone to pick with Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion.
Thompson and Stallion broke up earlier this month. Stallion called out her NBA star boyfriend on social media, accusing him of cheating. The relationship is over.
“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Stallion confirmed. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
Brown, a veteran WNBA guard, was rumored on social media to have been involved in the breakup in some way. However, she's quickly shot that down - and called out Thompson and Stallion in the process.
Brown is disappointed that neither Thompson nor Stallion have shot down the rumor involving her.
"I wouldn't have minded if either one of them came out and said it because at the end of the day, they're the ones that are in the relationship, they're the ones that are dealing with this, and they're the ones who are communicating with each other. So one of them, if not both of them know that it was not me," Brown told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.
"The truth is over there somewhere, and I was expecting it to reveal itself from that side of it... for them to just allow me to get dragged, for a lot of people to allow me to get dragged through the mud... it was just really disappointing."
Brown initially couldn't believe what she was seeing online.
"I had a game to focus on, and I quite literally did not have time to handle that and in the back of my mind knowing 100% what was being said was false that surely somebody would step in and say, no, this is a lie. Please point your fingers somewhere else or don't point them at all. But don't point them at Lexi, and by the time the game was over, it had not happened," she added.
"I'm still the only person that has denied this entire situation of my involvement and claimed that this is 100% false. And the fact that I'm still the only one that is defending my name, I just I have no idea how to process that, and that's the last thing that I'm like struggling to process is that there's this massive outcry for protecting black women and nobody has mentioned Lexie Brown's name in any of those conversations."
Brown's father, former NBA player Dee Brown, isn't happy, either.
"As a father, watching the negative, hateful, and most importantly, false attacks lobbed at my daughter has been debilitating. Seeing her live in absolute fear and exhaustion over these false attacks, and then seeing these attacks repeated by so many media outlets without even a shred of proof is beyond horrifying," Dee Brown told Fox News Digital.
"I've never seen behavior like this. Being in the spotlight is not new for Lexie, but what is new is how social media and the media have changed society for the worse. Today I say, not as a former player who understands harsh opinions and critiques from fans, but as a dad who realizes that this could be anyone’s daughter, this is simply not acceptable."
