A WNBA star who has been accused of being the woman Klay Thompson cheated on Megan Thee Stallion with is denying her role and demanding both celebrities clear her name.
Thompson, the four-time NBA champion and Dallas Mavericks guard, is alleged to have cheated with the 'Body' rapper, leading to their eventual split. Rumors have suggested that the other woman in the affair is Seattle Storm guard Lexie Brown, resulting in a flurry of negative comments directed her way.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Brown says that she only knows Thompson due to their shared profession and that she does not even consider him a friend. She also denies knowing Megan Thee Stallion. Moreover, Brown told the outlet that she has received death threats due to these rumors, targeting both herself and her family, leading the WNBA star to hire security.
Now, she is demanding that both Thompson and the rapper, born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, help her to clear her name. 'The fact that I'm still the only one defending my name, I have no idea how to process that,' Brown said. 'And that's the last thing I'm 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 admitted that she was expecting both parties in the now-finished couple to help her clear the air, but it never happened. 'Surely somebody that knows the truth -- and that is almost everybody involved knows that I was not involved in the situation at all -- would surely step in and say something ... and it didn't happen,' she said.
News of the couple's split was confirmed on Saturday afternoon after the rapper shared a blistering post to her Instagram story, signaling an end to her time with the veteran NBA star. Taking to her Instagram, she wrote: 'Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house... got 'cold feet' Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don't know if you can be 'monogamous'???? b**** I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall'.
The rapper also provided an exclusive statement to The Daily Mail on Saturday, which read: 'I've made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. 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.'
