Female basketball player threatened over alleged affair with NBA star Klay Thompson

“I was getting threats on my life. I was getting threats on my health,” Brown told Fox News on April 30. “My family started getting comments and threats from people. I’ve had to hire security to travel with me places. So it got to a point where I just was scared for myself.”

Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion had been dating since last summer and were frequently seen together in public. Speaking to TMZthe American rapper stated that she made the decision to end the relationship, emphasizing that “trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable.”

According to the New York PostMegan Thee Stallion implied that Thompson was unfaithful, and some sources suggest that Brown was involved in the relationship.

Brown completely denies the allegations and expresses her frustration that neither Thompson nor Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out against them. “I’m still the only person who 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 have no idea how to process that,” she said.

The 31-year-old WNBA player was also confused why she was dragged into the rumors, insisting she only knows Thompson professionally and does not have any connection with Megan Thee Stallion.
