In 2019, beautiful sports journalist Kelly Tennant sued Luke Walton for sexual assault, accusing her of luring her to a hotel room for forced kissing, touching, and rubbing her lower body with her lower body in 2014 on the grounds of discussing co-authoring books. In 2017, Walton continued to harass her, causing Kelly to resign and change careers.

Walton has never publicly apologized. His lawyer directly pointed out that Tennant was a "speculator, not a victim", saying that his testimony was unreliable and promised to falsify the allegations in court.

The "blame-black" posture of the team involved

Lakers: The statement occurred before Walton took office, and the team was unaware of it and "no responsibility".

Warriors (Walton was an assistant coach at the time of the incident): It only said that "information is being collected" and did not make a substantial statement.

Kings (Walton just took office at the time): Announced to wait for the investigation results, but continue to let Walton coach.

The public impression has changed from a "gentle tactician" to a "suspect of sexual assault", and the family reputation of his father Bill Walton (NBA legend).

Santa Monica police confirmed that Tennant never reported the case, so he did not initiate a criminal investigation. There is no subsequent public judgment in the

case, and the two parties may reach an out-of-court settlement.

Tenant, a lawyer accused the league of long-term acquiesce of sexual assault, suppressing victims through hush fees, and forming a closed loop of gender bias.

NBA systematic shelter culture, similar cases occur frequently (such as the sexual harassment case of Suns boss Savor), highlighting institutional loopholes.

Robert Savor, owner of the Suns, has been accused of racial discrimination, misogyny, workplace bullying, sexual harassment of employees (both men and women) and displaying genitals, etc.

Tenant endured for many years because of fear of professional revenge. He filed a lawsuit only after resigning.

The Lakers, Kings and other teams are eager to cut responsibilities, exposing the professional sports management's tendency to avoid moral issues. The perfunctory response of the team and the league reflects the systematic indifference of sexual violence in the sports community.
