Jaden Ivey's wife disputes claim she 'abandoned' him after he was waived after anti-Pride Month remark

The 'Common Sense' Department thinks detrimental conduct in the NBA must be a one-way street.

The wife of NBA player Jaden Ivey has disputed claims she "abandoned" him after he was waived after comments in which he criticized Pride Month, citing his Christian faith.

Caitlyn Ivey, who has two children with her husband, posted on her Instagram story Wednesday in response to comments from social media users who have accused her of "abandoning" Jaden.

"These DMs (and many more) over one lie spoken on my name," she wrote. "If you know me, you know I have never once abandoned that man through all the trials … and I still haven’t now. There is obviously a lot more going on, so leave your conspiracies and guesses to yourselves."

Jaden made claims during an Instagram livestream that his wife had been watching his broadcast without speaking to him after the controversy involving his anti-Pride Month remarks erupted.

"Those who are around me, those who are my family members betraying because of what I spoke. The truth. Betraying me. Saying that I’m losing my mind. Saying that I’m crazy. These are my own family members, my blood. ‘Man, he’s psycho. He’s this, he’s that.’ Those are my own household," Jaden said. 

"That’s why my wife in here, and she not even texting me."

The Bulls claimed Ivey was waived for "conduct detrimental to the team" after he made the comments critical of Pride Month.

In a series of Instagram live posts, Ivey gave his thoughts on being waived by the Bulls.
