Sophie Cunningham Hires 24/7 Security After Stalker Claims

She says the move is meant to protect her after sustained threats, with law‑enforcement verification still pending and her WNBA future unresolved.

Overview

  • Cunningham said on her No Hesitation podcast Monday that she has hired private security that will travel with her around the clock starting next week.
  • On Theo Von’s podcast she also said she believes the FBI is watching about 20 people in connection with threats to her, a claim that law‑enforcement spokespeople have not independently confirmed.
  • Marion County prosecutors charged Kevin Singh in June with felony stalking and intimidation and a misdemeanor harassment count linked to Cunningham, and court affidavits recount a September 2025 package delivery and Cunningham’s reports of nightmares and staying home more.
  • Cunningham is an unrestricted free agent and the Indiana Fever have lost their president and dismissed their general manager, leaving decisions about re‑signing or trading her to incoming leadership operating under new salary‑cap and collective‑bargaining constraints.
  • Her controversial offseason comments on transgender athletes drove outsized social engagement, sold‑out merchandise and publisher interest, but that visibility has also changed her day‑to‑day life and prompted the security measures she described.
