Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards is having the best season of his young NBA career. But he has jeopardized all that by getting himself into a world of trouble. The 22-year-old was accused by an Instagram model of pressuring her into getting an abortion. Paige Jordae exposed several screenshots of the conversation between Edwards and her after she told Edwards about her pregnancy. She even claimed the Timberwolves star wired her $100,000 to go through with the abortion.

Anthony Edwards responded to the leaked conversation and issued a lengthy statement hinting at guilt in the controversial abortion saga.

Anthony Edwards issues an apologetic statement following the abortion controversy

A day after finding himself in trouble for allegedly pressuring Instagram model Paige Jordae to get an abortion, Anthony Edwards issued a statement regarding the controversial allegations. “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 supported and 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.” Edwards wrote on X. However, Edwards’ statement is contradictory to the leaked conversation he had with the Instagram model.

According to the leaked screenshots, Anthony Edwards immediately asked Paige Jordae to get an abortion after he found out she was pregnant. He ignored Paige telling him that she regretted the last time she had to go through with a similar thing.
