Ex-SJSU trans athlete makes disputed claims about female teammate's eating disorder and academic setback

EXCLUSIVE: Prominent transgender athlete Blaire Fleming has made allegations about former teammate Brooke Slusser's lifestyle and academics. Slusser has disputed the allegations. 

Last Sunday, on the one-year anniversary of their final college volleyball game together for San Jose State, a conference championship loss, Slusser told Fox News Digital she developed an eating disorder, which led to anorexia and the loss of her menstrual cycle. 

Slusser said the ailments stemmed from the emotional distress suffered during her final season with Fleming in 2024. Slusser waged multiple lawsuits after discovering Fleming was transgender and that the two had shared changing spaces and bedrooms during their first season together in 2023.

Fleming responded to Fox News Digital's social media inquiry for a response to Slusser's revelations.
