LiAngelo Ball, the professional basketball player and brother of NBA stars Lonzo and LaMelo Ball, is currently embroiled in a public scandal following accusations of infidelity from his ex-girlfriend, Nikki Mudarris. The drama unfolded as Mudarris recently accused the 25-year-old of cheating on her and abandoning their children, sparking a fiery exchange between her and Ball’s new baby mama.
Social Media Accusations
Mudarris, a reality TV personality known for her appearances on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, took to social media to air her grievances. In an Instagram post, Mudarris accused Ball of infidelity during their relationship, alleging that he had walked out on her and their children. The accusations quickly gained traction on the internet, fueling public speculation about the athlete’s personal life.
“I want to clear this up and speak my truth. I am just as surprised as you are. We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he chose to walk out on his kids and me,” Mudarris wrote in the post shared by PEOPLE, referring to her children, son LaVelo, 1, and daughter LaNiyah, 2 months, whom she shares with Ball.
The former reality star continued, saying that Ball had told her he “got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her.” The post was accompanied by an emotional caption, detailing her hurt and disappointment in the relationship.
New Relationship
In response to the allegations, Ball recently shared a selfie on his Instagram Story with Rashida Nicole, adding a black heart emoji, which seemed to confirm his new relationship.
Ball was thrust further into the spotlight when Nicole, who is the mother of his child took to social media to defend herself against accusations of being a “homewrecker.” According to Yahoo! Entertainment, she denied the allegations, asserting that Ball had already ended his relationship with Mudarris before they started seeing each other.
Back-and-Fourth
The back-and-forth between the women has intensified the drama surrounding the Ball family. Fans and followers of the NBA star have been vocal, with many expressing their opinions on the situation online. Some have sided with Mudarris, sympathizing with her claims of abandonment and deceit, while others have supported Ball and his current girlfriend, suggesting that the former relationship was rocky from the start.
While the allegations are serious, neither Ball nor Mudarris have provided concrete evidence to support the claims made in their social media posts. Legal experts suggest that without verifiable proof, it is challenging to substantiate the accusations. Ball’s legal team has not issued any formal statement on the matter as of now.
The incident has added to the ongoing drama surrounding the Ball family, which has often found itself in the public eye due to the high-profile careers of its members. LiAngelo’s brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, have both made waves in the NBA, with LaMelo Ball earning a spot on the Charlotte Hornets and Lonzo Ball playing for the Chicago Bulls. Despite his family’s prominence in professional basketball, LiAngelo has struggled to find a consistent role in the NBA but has played for the Greensboro Swarm in the NBA G League.
As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how this public feud will impact Ball’s career and personal life moving forward. Fans will likely continue to watch closely as new developments emerge.
For now, the cheating allegations and social media spat are the latest examples of how celebrity relationships often collide with the public eye, leaving fans and critics alike to speculate on the truth behind the headlines.
