Sophie Cunningham hires 24/7 security after stalking concerns

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 17:32 · Archive

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has hired round-the-clock security to travel with her following stalking concerns.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has hired 24/7 security that will travel with her starting next week, she revealed on the 'No Hesitation' podcast. She said her increased public profile means she is now recognised in all states and cities, not just certain places where basketball fans previously knew her.

Cunningham described the attention as affecting her daily routine and normal life. She said online critics have 'so much hatred in their heart' but acknowledged the need to balance maintaining ordinary routines with personal wellbeing. Her trainer Drew Hanlen, who co-hosts the podcast, said he also receives hostile messages over his association with her.

Cunningham previously stated on the 'This Past Weekend' podcast with Theo Von that she believed the FBI was watching approximately 20 people over stalking concerns involving her. She did not identify those individuals or explain the agency's involvement, and this claim has not been independently verified. In June, Indiana prosecutors charged Kevin Singh with felony stalking and intimidation and misdemeanor harassment in a case involving Cunningham. According to court documents, Cunningham told investigators that unwanted contact had caused her to have nightmares and stay home more frequently.
