POV: My family was extremely abusive but manage to look very sympathetic to outsiders when trying to break the NC I put in place. MYOB with this stuff.

Predators look for people with abusive families.

Maybe she identified as a 16 year old when they started dating and as a 20 year old now?

This. The NBA would overlook any personal situation for a good enough player.

The Mormon church will also do this.

The Mormon leadership cannot be thrilled with how this story is gaining traction. That church spends a ton on PR trying to convince the rest of the world they are mainstream and not a cult.

How does it look when their premier sports team’s star draft pick has these kinds of rumors swirling around him?

He went to high school in Massachusetts. The age of consent in MA is 16 years old. It’s likely that there was nothing technically illegal happening between them. (Unless they truly started dating when he was 14-15 which is when she graduated from college)

Still is weird AF.

Sounds like the 2002 movie Swimfan.

I don’t care the election anymore I want to hear more about this Mormon Grooming of Kyle Filipowski.

He did not show up for scheduled workouts with several teams. It was very unusual to say the least.

+1

It seems like this was part of the plan for her and her parents to maintain control of Kyle. Much easier to keep him on a tight leash in Utah and on a team with Mormon owners.

I hope this man is able to break free. I feel so badly for him mom. I have a 20 year old son and would be beside myself if he fell into this kind of cult and relationship.

(This story is giving me much-needed respite from the debate coverage.)

It's not about how much older than him she is. It's that she targeted him from when he was 14 and she was a college graduate. If it were the only way around, you would be outraged.

My low level research suggests she circled back to him when he was a high school senior away at prep school, when his NBA bonafides were more of a sure thing. He was a 5 star recruit to Duke. It seems unclear if they were in active communication all through his high school?

I also don’t know how you get a guy so P-whipped if you’re a Bible thumping Mormon girl and not sleeping with him. So how Mormon is she really?

Of course she was sleeping with him.

Then how isn't she pregnant already? Mormons don't believe in birth control. Two years of screwing at Duke without an uh-oh pregnancy?

The Mormon church is not anti birth control. They believe it's a family decision and it's covered as part of their health insurance plan for employees.

A couple things come to mind. But mainly...so many of these athlete guys have that same skinny blonde cheerleader type girlfriend. And golddigger issues.

If this woman is somebody he liked before he got presumptively rich and she keeps him out of drugs and other girl trouble, who's to say his life is going to be worse? And if he just wants a hot, skinny blonde wife, then mission accomplished.

There are occasional grey areas where things can work fine despite the laws or norms. President Macron being the most obvious example. And that situation was way sketchier.

The bad sign is the alienated parents.

And twin brother. And everyone from childhood. And Duke teammates. She's clearly a lunatic.
