Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans basketball star, faces serious accusations. A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles accuses him of raping and violently abusing his ex-girlfriend over several years. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims the abuse started back in 2018 when Williamson played college basketball at Duke University. She says the relationship became abusive and controlling, with repeated acts of violence and threats. This lawsuit paints a grim picture of coercion, fear, and pain that allegedly lasted until 2023.

Details of the Lawsuit and Specific Allegations of Violence

The complaint gives detailed accounts of several violent attacks. On September 23, 2020, Williamson allegedly assaulted the woman at a Beverly Hills home. He reportedly forced her to have sex and insulted her with cruel names. When she refused, he pinned her down, raped her, and then took her phone, throwing it across the room. The victim says Williamson choked her and yelled because she “talked too much.” Weeks later, on October 10, 2020, the lawsuit claims Williamson again violently raped her after she told him she wanted to visit friends. He threw her to the ground, pinned her, and sexually assaulted her in multiple ways. He also took her phone and laptop to stop her from contacting anyone for help.

Years of Abuse and Threats That Created Fear and Isolation

The woman says the abuse did not stop after these attacks. The complaint alleges Williamson continued to abuse, rape, and assault her in multiple states. He strangled her so hard that she lost consciousness at times. He pressed his hands over her nose and mouth to stop her from breathing. On several occasions, he kicked her violently. The victim says he threatened her and her family repeatedly. He allegedly told her he would have his security guard kill her and her parents. He even warned he knew where her parents lived. According to the complaint, Williamson used drugs and alcohol during many of these violent episodes. The woman felt trapped, isolated, and silenced by his power and fame.

Additional Incidents Involving Physical Violence and Gun Threats

In 2022, the lawsuit reports another violent incident in Louisiana. Williamson slammed a car door with such force that it hit the woman’s head and caused her to lose consciousness. The victim also claims he pointed a loaded gun at her head, making her fear for her life. When she tried to break up with him, Williamson allegedly threatened to release nude videos and pictures of her. These threats added emotional torture to the physical abuse she endured. She describes feeling constant anxiety, depression, and humiliation as a result of what she went through.

Legal Response and Williamson’s Denial of the Claims

Williamson denies all allegations. His lawyer says the two never dated but had a casual relationship starting more than six years ago. The lawyer claims the woman began demanding money and that Williamson reported her to the police for extortion. He plans to file counterclaims and seek damages for what he calls a false and defamatory lawsuit. Despite these denials, the victim’s attorneys say they have witnesses and evidence to back their case. They plan to hold Williamson accountable and make sure the truth comes out in court.
