WNBA hooper Lexie Brown is speaking up again after being dragged into that breakup drama between Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion. And this time? She’s not just clearing her name she’s calling folks out the former couple who didn’t help do so.
To keep you up to seeped, after Megan put Klay on blast last week, accusing him of cheating while dealing with his own personal issues, social media did what it always does: started connecting dots that weren’t even there. Somehow, Lexie Brown got thrown into the middle of it, with rumors flying that she was the “other woman.” Lexie already shut that down once. But of course the internet kept running with it anyway.
Now she’s speaking out again, and this time she’s making it real clear, she expected more from both Klay and Megan, especially she’s been allegedly receiving massive death threats on social media. While talking to Fox Digital, Brown didn’t hold back:
“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 said 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.”
So when it comes to her actual connection to Klay? It’s not what folks tried to make it seem.
“Me and Klay, we know each other because we do play professional basketball. I wouldn’t have considered him a friend. I do not know Meg The Stallion at all.”
Lexie also shared that she thought the situation would get corrected quickly. She had a preseason game to worry about and figured somebody—anybody—would step in and dead the rumors. Didn’t happen.
“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.”
Beyond the gossip and the headlines, things actually got scary.
“I was getting threats on my life. I was getting threats on my health,” Brown said. “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.”
While Meg has made an additional statement confirming her breakup with the NBA player, Thompson has also gone live, but to show that he has continued life as usual after their split — no correction of Lexie Brown at all.
