Sophie Cunningham fan who was confronted by Storm co-owner opens up on incident and facing trans athletes

Washington state high school athlete Ahnaleigh Wilson was pushed into a starting spot under the lights of the national culture war over women’s sports this week when she was allegedly berated at a WNBA game.

Now, in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, she and her family are speaking out for the first time since Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was suspended for an exchange with the teenager.

Wilson went viral Tuesday night for speaking out about being allegedly heckled by Keaton during the Storm’s game against the Indiana Fever. Wilson was not prepared to take on such public attention, and she and her family say it has caused them issues. The teen was there simply to support Sophie Cunningham after Cunningham took a public stand to save girls’ sports.

“She was sitting directly across from us on the court, and we hadn’t really noticed her much. And then she had walked over to talk to the people to the right of where we were sitting, and when she stopped talking to them, she turned and looked at us,” Wilson, who sat courtside, told Fox News Digital.

The family said it would welcome the opportunity to attend another Fever game. It does not expect to return to a Storm game, even if Keaton or the organization eventually apologizes.

“We can’t support an organization like that,” the family said.

“We would love to go see the Fever play again,” Elizabeth added. “But I don’t think we’d go back to Seattle to watch them play.”
