NBA star Anthony Edwards issued a statement in response to the alleged texts he sent a woman urging her to get an abortion.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard released a statement on Twitter Monday, Dec. 18, addressing the alleged texts sent between him and a woman he seemingly forced to terminate a pregnancy.
“I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man,” Edwards wrote.
“All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time.”
Edwards, 22, statement came after screenshots of alleged texts between him and a woman by the name Paige Jordae were leaked online that showed a photo of a positive pregnancy test and his alleged responses telling the woman “hell nawl can’t do dis” and “Get a abortion lol.”
Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith commented on the scandal on his YouTube show noting the lesson it teaches young athletes to “watch who you feal with.”
“Let me say this, Anthony Edwards had to apologize because he is a public figure,” Smith said. “Having said that, once again here’s the bigger lesson to be learned, guard who you deal with.”
