Brown expressed deep frustration that neither Thompson nor Megan Thee Stallion publicly denied the affair accusations. “I wouldn’t have minded if either one of them came out and said it,” she told Fox News. She argued they knew the truth better than anyone. “For them to just allow me to get dragged, for a lot of people to allow me to get dragged through the mud, it was just really disappointing.”
“I’m still the only person that has denied this entire situation of my involvement and claimed that this is 100 percent false. And the fact that I’m still the only one that is defending my name. I have no idea how to process that, and that’s the last thing that I’m struggling to process is that there’s this massive outcry for protecting Black women and nobody has mentioned Lexie Brown’s name in any of those conversations.”

Lexie Brown’s Health Crisis Makes Situation Worse
The stress couldn’t have come at worse timing. Brown has battled Crohn’s disease for three years. The inflammatory condition has caused severe complications. She missed most of 2024 and 2025 recovering from multiple surgeries. She lost 30 pounds during her darkest period. Finding the right medication and routine took months of hard work.
Now, with her health finally stabilized, the death threats and social media chaos threatened to trigger a flare-up. “It absolutely could have,” she noted, explaining how anxiety impacts her condition physically. Deleting social media entirely proved crucial. “I’ve got myself to a really, really good place, physically and mentally,” she said, crediting her decision to unplug completely.
What Comes Next for Lexie Brown and the Klay Thompson Statement on Rumors?
As of April 30, 2026, Klay Thompson has not publicly addressed the affair rumors. Megan Thee Stallion has also remained silent beyond her initial breakup announcement. Brown emphasized that either could end the speculation instantly. The longer the silence, the more it spreads online. Her father, former NBA player Dee Brown, called the media outlets’ coverage “beyond horrifying” for reporting unverified claims.
Brown is focused on basketball and her mental health above all else. She deleted her social media comments to protect her peace. She’s working with security teams to ensure her safety. Will Thompson or Megan finally step forward? The clock is ticking, and Brown‘s patience is running thin.
