Zion Williamson sued for rape

NBA star Zion Williamson is facing a very serious lawsuit. The New Orleans Pelicans player has been sued for "sexual, physical, emotional, and financial abuse" by a former partner he was with from 2019 until 2023.

The lawsuit mentions two cases of rape in 2020. The first incident occurred in September of that year in Beverly Hills, California. According to the complaint, the woman told Williamson that she "was tired and wanted to go to sleep," but Williamson insisted she couldn't sleep without having sexual relations with him.

Subsequently, he allegedly immobilized her with her hands behind her back and raped her. The lawsuit also adds that Williamson threw the woman's phone across the room and strangled her.

The second alleged rape took place in October 2020, also in Beverly Hills. The woman claims that after telling Zion she wanted to visit a friend in San Diego, she was "violently raped."

Furthermore, Zion Williamson is also accused in the lawsuit of making "death threats" to the woman and her family. The plaintiff is seeking financial compensation, reportedly asking for "between 18 and 50 million dollars" according to ESPN.
