Rumors are swirling on the internet involving Kristen Saban, daughter of renowned football coach Nick Saban, and James McCoy Taylor, a former contestant on “The Bachelorette.”
Taylor has made public claims of an extramarital affair with Kristen, who is currently married.
Taylor alleges that he traveled to Alabama to meet with Kristen while she was still married to Adam Setas. He further claims to have been picked up by Kristen and spent time together, later sharing a photo of the two kissing. He also stated that he is being blackmailed with these images.
In an Instagram post, Taylor explained his predicament: “Someone got these pictures and is blackmailing me saying if I don’t pay them X amount of money they’ll send these pics to TMZ and the news etc., and tell them I’m a cheater and a home-wrecker… They claim there are more pics and I wouldn’t believe them except for the fact that they knew we went to Innisfree one night and told me exactly where we were in there and what we were wearing.”

Taylor opted to go public with the information himself: “Tomorrow’s my deadline to decide, so I started consolidating some cash to pay, I thought about doing nothing and calling his/her bluff… I thought about a lot but decided to go the Eminem route and call myself out on my terms with the truth instead of letting someone else twist it.”
He later escalated the situation by posting another intimate picture of Kristen on his Instagram story, threatening more disclosures: “Naahhh bro, don’t fall for that photoshop stuff,” he wrote. “I was trying to put an end to this but if we aren’t playing nice – I got an endless supply of proof of how this girl wanted me. I’ll give it to the weekend to chill but if it keeps going… come back for some actual fireworks… absolutely not having this one twisted.”
Amidst the unfolding drama, Kristen Saban posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story from the account @RisewithMe77: “Next time someone tries to bring you down, remember. Confidence is quiet, insecurity is loud.”
She has since deleted her Twitter account but has kept her Instagram active.
Kristen married Adam Setas in 2015 in a lavish ceremony at the Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, complete with a ride around the field in a Rolls-Royce and fireworks. The couple, who were childhood sweethearts, are now facing a challenging time due to these allegations.
