Earlier this week, Williamson and his girlfriend Ahkeema announced they're expecting a baby girl through a video posted on YouTube by Ahkeema. What followed the announcement shocked the NBA world.

Adult film star Moriah Mills went on a tirade on Twitter posting expletive-filled Tweets, accusing the 22-year-old of cheating since the two have relations. Mills also shared several screenshots of their alleged conversations.

Another woman also accused the Pelicans' big man of cheating on Ahkeema despite knowing she was expecting a baby.

Williamson made his first public appearance since the scandal. He was attending an event for his foundation where he donated $250,000 to help Jefferson Parish Schools students get new uniforms, per SI.

His stepdad Lee Anderson said everything said on social media are inaccurate. He declined to address the social media storm his stepson was caught up in this week.

“All I will say this morning,” Anderson said. “Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear...We’re not doing interviews,” Anderson said. “We are here to focus on our youth. No questions about nothing else because none of that foolishness bothers us,” via NOLA.

Williamson is a two-time All-Star but has played only 114 games with the Pelicans since they drafted him No. 1 overall in 2019. He averaged 26.0 points on 60.8% shooting last season but only appeared in 29 games. His promising career has been plagued by injuries.

Sports Brief earlier reported on adult actress Moriah Mills launching a scathing attack on Williamson on Twitter.

Mills also shared screenshots of their alleged conversations. She claimed she helped the NBA star get back in shape after his recent struggles with injuries.

Mills made several accusations that will likely tarnish Williamson's good name in the league.
