WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham Faces Stalker Threat

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has disclosed a troubling increase in stalker activity, revealing that the FBI is actively monitoring at least 20 individuals for her protection. This concerning development comes as Cunningham's public profile has grown significantly, particularly following her outspoken opinions on the inclusion of trans athletes in the WNBA during the summer of 2026.

Her heightened fame, amplified by her role with the Indiana Fever and as a teammate to Caitlin Clark, has unfortunately attracted aggressive fandom. Cunningham shared her personal distress on a podcast, recounting one specific stalker who is now incarcerated, even humorously noting the coincidence with her miniature donkey's name.

While the unpredictability of stalker behavior poses a threat, Cunningham is currently under law enforcement surveillance. As she enters WNBA free agency, her individual notoriety alone is expected to generate considerable interest from teams.
