Lexie Brown Admits Getting Life-Threatening Messages Following Klay Thompson Linkup

Lexie Brown has always been an active voice in the league. During the CBA turmoil, the Seattle Storm star lashed out at the owners for not taking initiative about the pay-equity fiasco. Now that the salary cap has increased and a new CBA deal has taken effect, Brown looks forward to focusing on a productive season ahead.

That was until an unwanted drama drastically hindered her focus. Recently, the split between Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson has made headlines. Now, with Brown entering the equation, things just got serious.

Why Is Lexie Brown Getting Life-Threatening Messages?

Last season, Brown was unhappy with her playing time in Seattle. This year, the 2021 WNBA champion was confident about grabbing whatever opportunities came her way. But things changed quickly as the news of Thompson overshadowed even the high-octane NBA playoffs. Following cheating accusations surfacing against the NBA star, Megan Thee Stallion posted an unfiltered rant on social media. 

Immediately after, rumors circulated that there might be a possible third person responsible for the high-profile breakup. And this is where the WNBA star entered into the equation. Speaking up on the matter, the Boston native dropped a shocking confession. The 31-year-old pointed out that she was getting death threats. 

“I was getting threats on my life. I was getting threats on my health. 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 was scared for myself,” Brown said in an interview with ‘Fox News.’

Lexie Brown says she and her family have been receiving threats after she was falsely accused of being the reason why Klay and Meg broke up.

She added that she had to hire security because she’s concerned about her safety 😳

The 5-foot-9 star also said the rumors did not bother her initially. Since Brown allegedly had no connection to Thompson, the WNBA star thought somebody would surely come up and clear her name from the entire ordeal. But when that did not happen, it shocked the 31-year-old.

Lexie Brown Furious Over Why Her Name Was Not Disputed

In an ideal situation, when a controversy falsely accuses someone, that person usually admits the truth. Surprisingly, in the case of Brown, her name was not disputed once. And shockingly, the WNBA star was the only person who constantly denied her association with Klay Thompson. 

“The fact that I’m still the only one that is defending my name, I just have no idea how to process that, and that’s the last thing that 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 said. 

Surely, with a lot happening at the moment, fans will be eager to know what’s next.
