Zion Williamson, the extremely talented basketball player for the New Orleans Pelicans, is currently involved in a controversy off the court involving adult film actress Moriah Mills. Mills claimed to have personal tapes of her and Williamson and threatened to make them public.
On Monday, Mills took to Twitter to declare the presence of evidence proving his relationship with Williamson. She also called for him to be traded to the Pelicans. These demands come amid reports that the Pelicans are interested in selling Williamson to the Portland Trail Blazers or the Charlotte Hornets.
Mills accused Williamson of adultery on several occasions, claiming that he had been intimate with her while dating another woman called Ahkeema. Mills broke the surprising news that Ahkeema is pregnant with Williamson’s child. Mills also accused Williamson of being a “sex addict” and claimed that he planned to move her to New Orleans to be with him.
While Williamson chose not to comment on the matter, his stepfather denied the rumors and warned against trusting everything that is said or seen. However, the alleged sex video controversy adds to Williamson’s already turbulent season.
For months, the star striker has been suffering on and off the court due to illness and rumors of negotiations. Dissatisfied with his problems off the court, the Pelicans may be thinking of transferring him to another team.
However, this incident has the potential to tarnish Williamson’s character and reduce his value in the league. According to sources, Mills may be motivated by a desire to get financial backing from Williamson, which could lead to a nasty legal fight in the future.
Williamson is a powerful force around the rim and a formidable rebounder, known for his speed and explosiveness. Despite being criticized for his lack of lateral defensive agility, he has shown signs of excellence during his NBA career.
Williamson repeatedly showed his brilliance on the court despite being hampered by illness, including a knee injury that kept him out of the first 24 games of the 2020-21 season and a foot injury that kept him out of the first 22 games of the 2021-22 season.
