Seattle Storm guard Lexie Brown said she and her family have been receiving threats after she was falsely accused of being the reason NBA star Klay Thompson and rapper Megan Thee Stallion broke up, and that the situation has grown serious enough that she has hired personal security.
“Me and Klay do know each other because we both play professional basketball. I would have considered him a friend. I do not know Meg Thee Stallion at all,” Brown told Fox News in an exclusive interview. “Today, I’m still the only person that has denied this entire situation of my involvement and claimed that this is 100% false.”
Brown said she was troubled that neither Thompson nor Megan Thee Stallion has publicly cleared her name, expressing frustration at being left to defend herself alone.
“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,” she said. “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 she initially expected that someone with firsthand knowledge of the situation would step forward to correct the record.
“The truth is over there somewhere, and I was expecting it to reveal itself from that side of it the side that actually has the issue,” she said. “Because again, I have no idea what is going on. I have no involvement. I had no communication at all whatsoever during their relationship.”
Brown said she waited days for a correction that never came, even after the threats began escalating.
“For them to just allow me to get dragged through the mud for, I don’t know, it seems like three, three, four days now, knowing 100% what was being said was false that surely somebody would step in and say, no, this is a lie,” she said. “Please point your fingers somewhere else, or don’t point them at all, but don’t point them at Lexi.”
Brown said the threats eventually forced her to take action.
“I was getting threats on my life. I was getting threats on my health. My family started getting comments and threats from people,” she said. “I’ve had to hire security to travel with me places, so it got to a point where I just was scared for myself.”
Brown also noted what she described as a glaring absence in the broader public conversation about protecting Black women.
“There’s this massive outcry for protecting Black women, and nobody has mentioned Lexi Brown’s name in any of those conversations,” she said. “And the fact that I’m still the only one that is defending my name I just have no idea how to process that.”
