The LSU Tigers women’s basketball program is now experiencing turmoil as Head Coach Kim Mulkey becomes entangled in a controversy over a future article in The Washington Post. The piece purportedly revisits previous charges about Mulkey’s treatment of LGBTQ+ players while at Baylor University.
Mulkey has publicly threatened legal action against The Washington Post in response to the anticipated publication, accusing the newspaper of pursuing a “hit piece” to damage her image. She believes the article contains false information and has hired a defamation law company to handle the situation.
The incident has placed a pall over the LSU women’s basketball team, which has achieved great success under Mulkey’s direction. The program’s stakeholders and fans are currently debating the ramifications of these charges and their potential impact on the team’s future.
As the situation develops, the LSU community remains vigilant, hoping for a resolution that protects the program’s integrity and supports all those involved.
