Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes began his NBA career on a strong note as the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He quickly demonstrated his athletic abilities and validated the Raptors’ faith in him by earning the Rookie of the Year award.
Over the past three seasons, Barnes has continued to elevate his game. His performance motivated the team to solidify his future with a five-year rookie extension in July of this year after initial speculation. However, a personal controversy has come to light as Barnes heads into his fourth season with the Raptors.
Recently, Barnes faced allegations from his girlfriend, who accused him of cheating and getting another woman pregnant. The accusations surfaced in a video shared on social media, where his alleged girlfriend made the claims public.
“Let’s play a little game. Put a finger down if you were dating your high school sweetheart for almost six years. You’re holding it down for him while he’s trying to make it to the NBA. He makes it to the NBA, so you move to another country to be there with him to support him. All while studying for your masters,” the girl said.
“One day out of the blue he breaks up with you, and then months later he gets a white girl pregnant. Just me? Oh okay,” she added.
