Andrew Wiggins has been away from the Golden State Warriors for a few weeks now, and it seems like he is done for the season. Overall, fans are very concerned for Wiggins, especially since no one knows what the reason for his absence is. Anonymous Warriors players have claimed that he is dealing with matters that are bigger than basketball. However, due to the ambiguousness of these statements, fans are trying to fill in the blanks. Of course, this has led to some detrimental rumors that aren't exactly productive for anybody.
The prevailing rumor that has dominated the discourse over the past week has to do with Wiggins' girlfriend, Mychal Johnson. Fans have theorized that she cheated on Wiggins with his best friend. Furthermore, Wiggins' child with Johnson allegedly belongs to the best friend. Ultimately, this is a very extreme rumor that was never confirmed by anyone. However, in true internet fashion, people ran with it. Recently, Johnson took to Twitter where she attempted to set the record straight.
Andrew Wiggins' GF Speaks Out
"The internet is really a sick place," she wrote. "Literally the farthest thing from the truth. It’s sad y’all even doing this." You can tell just how upset Johnson is by the rumors, and understandably so. This is one of those occasions where it is clear that the internet has gone a bit too far. Overall, it is clear that Wiggins is dealing with a very serious situation, and he doesn't need to be dealing with all of these bizarre fantasies that the fans have cooked up. Sometimes, the fans should just let the players deal with personal issues. Otherwise, you end up with stuff like this.
