The anonymous email directed at WNBA star Breanna Stewart and her wife contained explicit homophobic slurs and a disturbing death threat, prompting police involvement.
Police investigations reveal that the internet address associated with the death threat against Stewart and her wife has been linked to multiple serious offenses, including prior death threats and bomb threats.
Breanna Stewart, an openly LGBTQ+ athlete and member of the gold-medal-winning US Olympic team, married fellow athlete Marta Xargay Casademont in July 2021, and they have two children.
The incident reflects a troubling trend, as there were 175 out LGBTQ+ athletes at the recent Paris Games, emphasizing the continued need for safety and respect within sports.
