Zion Williamson is in some serious trouble.
The New Orleans Pelicans star has been accused of rape, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday. A woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles.
Williamson has been accused of showing “abusive, controlling, and threatening behavior” toward the plaintiff.
“This was submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday: NBA superstar Zion Williamson accused of rape. Plaintiff says she was in a dating relationship with him at Duke—before it got abusive,” Gardner wrote on X.
The lawsuit details multiple years of alleged abusive behavior towards Williamson’s ex-girlfriend, including physical threats against her and her family. The plaintiff made stunning accusations in the lawsuit, with mentions of Williamson threatening to kill her.
“Threatening to have his paid security guard shoot Plaintiff in the head while the security guard was present and carrying a loaded firearm multiple times in Louisiana between 2020 and 2023,” one claim reads.
“Threatening to have his paid security guard kill Plaintiff’s parents, after informing Plaintiff that he knows their home address multiple times in Louisiana between 2020 and 2023,” another claim says.
“Monitoring Plaintiff’s location at all hours, monitoring who Plaintiff was with, calling her repeatedly,” another portion of the lawsuit claims.

Zion Williamson has not broken his silence on the allegations.
The alleged victim’s attorney, however, has already issued a statement.
“We and our client do not want to litigate this case in the press,” Lanier Law Firm’s Sam Taylor told Daily Mail.
“However, I will say this is a very serious case as reflected in the Complaint filed in Los Angeles County. Our client looks forward to her day in court before a jury of her peers to obtain justice in this matter.”
Williamson, the first-overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 30 starts this past season.
The team is coming off a 21-61 season.
Adult Star Threatened To Release X-Rated Video Of Zion Williamson
The past three years have been rough for Zion, not just on the court but also off of it.
In 2023, adult star Moriah Mills became enraged after Williamson announced he was having a child with another woman who may also be an adult star.
Mills constantly attacked him for days and even weeks. She took it a step further when she threatened to release x-rated videos of their sessions.
“NBA I have sex tapes of me and @Zionwilliamson and he also has them on his trap phone @NBA @PelicansNBA trade him now he doesn’t deserve to be in New Orleans !!! Sex tapes dropping soon,” Mills said at the time.
She also added that he has erectile dysfunction and may have to take Viagra at a young age.
Unfortunately, Mills was only the tip of the iceberg. Another woman named Yami Taylor went off on Zion Williamson on her Instagram by posting some wild allegations.
“Why didn’t I get my Bentayga and my Richard Mille last summer? @zionwilliamson because I don’t let you record me? I never gave you a threesome or never had an OnlyFans, or was on PornHub, so I guess I was all play. I probably never had a chance, you nast a*s sex addict,” Taylor wrote.
