WNBA All-Star Weekend was supposed to be all about the incredible plays from Azzi Fudd, Jonquel Jones, and Olivia Miles. But let’s be real, something else grabbed everyone’s attention way harder. Sky guard DiJonai Carrington went OFF on social media Sunday, publicly accusing former partner NaLyssa Smith of cheating on her with multiple teammates towards the end of their relationship. Seriously, this accusation overshadowed everything and became one of the most talked-about moments of the entire two-day extravaganza.
Carrington Dropped the Bombshells on Threads
Carrington didn’t hold back, taking to Instagram Threads to air out her grievances against Smith. She claimed Smith cheated on her when she joined the Aces, specifically alleging affairs with Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye, both of whom played in Las Vegas last season. This wasn’t some quiet whisper, either. Carrington’s allegations absolutely *torched* social media, becoming the main talking point of a weekend that should have been celebrating on-court talent. These two used to be one of the league’s most recognizable couples, so when Carrington dropped this explosive reveal, X, the site formerly known as Twitter, went into an absolute frenzy with speculation.
Smith Responds, But Doesn’t Deny the Big One
Social media detectives were even theorizing that Carrington was pushed to speak out after showing up to parties with her current partner, Jackie Young, only to allegedly find Smith there uninvited. Smith fired back on a Twitch stream, insisting she had no clue what venues Carrington and Young were hitting up and said she *was* invited to the event they were at. She also confirmed a “brief verbal confrontation” with Carrington at the event. Now, here’s the kicker: Smith didn’t outright deny Carrington’s accusations of infidelity. Instead, she seemed more frustrated that their failed relationship was back in the spotlight a year after it ended. “Whether she cheated on me or I cheated on her, that has nothing to do with anybody,” Smith said on stream. “That don’t even make sense. Then, to bring it to the internet a year later is crazy. Just for fun? That’s ridiculous. Especially when you’re in a happy, healthy relationship. I would never do that to anybody.”
So, while Smith didn’t exactly confirm or deny the cheating itself, she certainly didn’t shut down those specific allegations from Carrington. The WNBA world is definitely watching how this all plays out.
