An Instagram model has accused NBA player Anthony Edwards, who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves, of pressuring her to kill his preborn child in an abortion, and even paying her $100,000 to go through with it despite her protests.<\/p>\n

According to messages posted online<\/a> by Paige Jordae, she and Edwards had a seemingly illicit relationship, which resulted in Jordae becoming pregnant<\/a>. Edwards is already expecting a child with girlfriend Jeanine Robel.<\/p>\n

After sending Edwards a photo of a positive pregnancy test, he immediately told Jordae to “get a abortion lol” [sic], which she initially refused to do. “Honestly I had an abortion with my son around [two] years ago and I regret it every day,” she said, adding, “I said I had an abortion [two] years ago and I regret it.”<\/p>\n

She further added, “Being cool to [you] is just going to get an abortion by myself [and you] not doing s*** [and] going about your day… that’s being cool to [you]. Obviously [you] been through this before, judging by [your] reaction.”<\/p>\n

Edwards seemingly continued to push the abortion on Jordae, even offering her money to go through with the procedure, though she seemed to continue resisting. “I’m not trying to force you to be a dad to a baby [you] don’t want,” she said. “I just don’t like abortions. [T]hat doesn’t make me wrong. If [you] really don’t want to do this then fine… I won’t.”<\/p>\n

Edwards then demanded \u2014 incessantly \u2014 that Jordae send him pictures and videos of her taking the abortion pills to prove she went through with it. Meanwhile, she sent pictures of babies, saying how cute they were, but Edwards was evidently unmoved. He responded by repeatedly texting, “Send [the] video.” Eventually, a screenshot of a video was sent, with Jordae saying she had done what he asked. She then shared a screenshot of a $100,000 wire transfer from someone with the initials “AE.”<\/p>\n
