More on this storyline

The woman alleges that in 2020, a little over a year after Williamson left the Blue Devils to join the New Orleans Pelicans, the basketball player raped and assaulted her in Southern California. According to the suit, the violent incident took place on Sept. 23, 2020 … after the woman had gone to Williamson’s Beverly Hills home. The accuser says she told Williamson she was tired and wanted to go to sleep … but he called her “stuck up” and a “bitch,” and told her “she could not go to sleep without having sex with him.” -via TMZ.com / May 30, 2025
A woman claiming to be one of Zion Williamson’s exes has filed a lawsuit against the NBA star … alleging he raped, kidnapped and terrorized her on multiple occasions throughout their yearslong relationship. The explosive suit, which has been obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed in Los Angeles on Thursday by a Jane Doe, who says she began dating Williamson in 2018 … while he was playing for the Duke men’s basketball team. -via TMZ.com / May 30, 2025
Williamson then allegedly pinned her down on the bed and sexually assaulted her. Afterward, the lawsuit states, Williamson took her phone, threw it … and then choked and screamed at her for “talking too much.” The woman alleges Williamson emitted an odor of alcohol throughout the encounter. Days later, on Oct. 10, 2020, the accuser alleges Williamson raped her again after he got angry that she wanted to leave him to visit friends in San Diego. According to the suit, Williamson took her phone and laptop following the sexual assault … preventing her from getting medical care. “These two incidents were not isolated,” the lawsuit states. Williamson “continued to abuse, rape, assault, and batter Plaintiff in California and other states, including Louisiana and Texas, until the relationship ended in 2023.” -via TMZ.com / May 30, 2025
