Pettis Disses Ex Porter Jr. Over 'Psychopath' Past

Actress Madison Pettis, 27, recently discussed her past relationship with NBA forward Michael Porter Jr. on the "In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele" podcast. Pettis revealed that she ended their relationship years ago, explaining her decision by calling Porter Jr. a "psychopath" when they were in high school and college. She acknowledged that many athletes can be challenging partners but stated she wouldn't rule out dating another one due to her passion for basketball.

Pettis and Porter Jr. dated from 2016 to 2017. Porter Jr. was drafted by the Denver Nuggets one year after their breakup and won a championship with them in 2023 before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets. In recent years, Porter Jr. has garnered attention for controversial statements regarding dating, including sharing that he would play controversial podcaster Andrew Tate's content for women he dated to gauge their reactions. He also expressed a preference for dating women who have not previously been in public relationships with other NBA stars, citing potential ego issues.
