Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is at the center of controversy following allegations that he encouraged a woman, not his girlfriend, to undergo an abortion and offered financial compensation.
Text message images surfaced showing a conversation between Edwards and model Paige Jordae.
In response, Edwards released a statement on X, acknowledging the comments were made in the “heat of the moment” and do not align with his beliefs.
I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man. All women should be empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time.”

He emphasized women’s empowerment in decision-making and committed to handling personal matters privately. The Timberwolves, with a remarkable 19-5 record, have not issued a statement as the controversy unfolds amid Edwards’ on- and off-court challenges.
