Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith addressed accusations of cheating on Twitch following allegations from her ex-girlfriend, DiJonai Carrington. Carrington, a guard for the Chicago Sky, claimed Smith was involved in a multi-player scandal, naming Aces teammate Deja Kelly, Atlanta Dream’s Aaliyah Nye, and others.

Smith dismissed the timing of the allegations, questioning why Carrington took it public a year after their breakup. Smith insisted that their past issues should remain private and unrelated to anyone else. She stated, “Whether she cheated on me and I cheated on her, why are we bringing that to the internet a year later when nobody did anything to anybody?”

“Like what? That doesn’t even make sense. And 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.”

Smith criticized Carrington for involving Kelly and Nye in their personal dispute, saying they woke up to baseless allegations. According to Smith, it was unfair for their names to be included.

The confrontation stemmed from an earlier incident where Carrington confronted Smith, resulting in security intervention. Smith described the scene where Carrington accused her of talking to other women, leading to arguments.

“Here goes DiJonai. ‘You talkin’ to that b****. You talkin’ to that b****.’ I’m like ‘Why I gotta be a b****?'”

This altercation led to more tension, with Smith claiming she was just sitting and minding her business, not trying to spy on anyone as suggested by online commenters.

Smith speculated that alcohol might have fueled Carrington’s behavior, leading to the public dispute. Despite the drama, the focus turns to their upcoming face-off on the court when the Sky hosts the Aces.
