Brown's Statement on the Affair Rumors
In an interview with Fox News Digital on April 30, 2026, Lexie Brown directly addressed rumors claiming she had an affair with NBA star Klay Thompson. Brown emphatically denied the allegations, stating that she is the only person who has publicly defended her name and claimed the rumors are completely false. She expressed frustration that neither Thompson nor Megan Thee Stallion, his ex-girlfriend, had publicly disputed the rumors despite being in the relationship themselves and knowing the truth.
Brown's Disappointment with Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion
Brown stated that she expected Thompson or Megan Thee Stallion to come forward and deny the rumors themselves. She told Fox News: '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.' Brown emphasized her disappointment that both remained silent while she was publicly dragged through negative rumors, calling it 'really disappointing.' She noted that while she was focused on a WNBA preseason game, she expected at least one of them to step in and clarify the situation.
Death Threats and Security Measures
The rumors escalated to dangerous levels, forcing Brown to take serious safety precautions. She reported receiving threats on her life and health, with her family also becoming targets of comments and threats from online users. As a result, Brown was forced to hire security to travel with her, creating a frightening situation that left her fearful for her own safety. Her father, former NBA player Dee Brown, described the experience as 'debilitating,' noting the false attacks and media repetition of unproven claims.
Health and Mental Well-Being Impact
The stress from the rumors posed a serious physical health risk for Brown, who has battled Crohn's disease for the past three years. She acknowledged that this level of anxiety could have triggered a severe flare-up of her condition. In response, Brown completely deleted social media apps from her phone to protect her mental health and focus on basketball. She credited this decision, along with her excellent medication routine, with preventing a serious health crisis related to the stress.
Brown's Relationship to Those Involved
Brown clarified the extent of her connections to the people named in the rumors. She stated that she knows Klay Thompson because they both play professional basketball but emphasized she would not consider him a friend. Regarding Megan Thee Stallion, Brown was direct: 'I do not know Meg The Stallion at all.' Brown is a 2021 WNBA champion with the Chicago Sky and currently plays for the Seattle Storm.
