Klay Thompson found himself in the headlines during the NBA playoffs for reasons that had nothing to do with basketball. His reported breakup with Megan Thee Stallion quickly became a trending topic, especially after claims surfaced that he had cheated on her. None of these allegations has been confirmed, but that has not stopped the internet from reacting strongly. Many people have sided with Megan, including a podcaster whose take has recently gone viral.
The podcaster said she believes Megan’s side of the story and argued that some athletes date high-profile women mainly for global visibility. According to her, the relationship may have benefited Thompson’s public image more than people realize.
“We didn’t know Klay Thompson before Meg Thee Stallion,” the podcaster said. “While these guys have more money than these girls, these girls have social and global influence. Meg Thee Stallion made Klay a global star, whether he wants to admit or not.
These men like to use these women for come-ups and for social status because, like, don’t ever get it twisted girls, social currency is still a currency. If you are well known in your circle and you are well respected, a guy can use that for social come-up because being with you makes him look good.”
Rumors about their relationship first started in July 2025. Eventually, they made things public at a gala, presenting themselves as a power couple. Their social media interactions and public comments made it seem like they were deeply into each other, which is why the cheating rumors have caught many from the basketball and entertainment worlds off guard.
Was Klay Thompson romantically involved with a WNBA player while dating Megan Thee Stallion?
Fans quickly turned into detectives, trying to figure out who Klay Thompson might have cheated on Megan Thee Stallion with. Not long after news of their breakup surfaced, one name started circulating heavily online. Many pointed fingers at WNBA player, Lexie Brown.
The speculation spread fast, especially after people noticed Thompson’s social media behavior. He had unfollowed Brown, which only added fuel to the rumors. For many, that was enough to assume something had happened.
As the chatter grew louder and began affecting her reputation, Brown decided to speak out and shut things down. She made it clear she had nothing to do with the situation.
“I’ve seen what’s being said online, and I want to be clear, none of it is true, and I have no involvement in this situation,” Brown wrote on Instagram.
