And LSU’s polarizing women’s basketball coach is threatening legal action.
On Friday, Sports Illustrated college sports reporter Pat Forde posted on X that the has a “big” story about Mulkey “in the works.”
One day later, Mulkey made a preemptive strike, railing against the potential story and reporter behind it — saying she will sue the outlet if they publish what she called a “hit piece.”
“I wouldn’t normally discuss media rumors about me, but I felt the need to publicly address what exactly this reporter for the has been doing the past several years,” Mulkey said on Saturday. “And the lengths he has gone to try and put a hit piece together. This reporter has been working on a story about me for two years. After two years of trying to get me to sit with him for an interview, he contacts LSU on Tuesday, as we were getting ready for the first-round game of this [NCAA] tournament, with more than a dozen questions, demanding a response by Thursday right before we’re scheduled to tip off.
