NBA champion Andrew Bogut said Zion Williamson’s engagement with porn star Moriah Mills was a “common occurrence”, revealing he had seen it perform with teammates, before calling the media coverage of the “disgusting” situation.
Bogut offered wide-ranging comments on his Rogue Bugs Podcastdismissing the hysteria surrounding Williamson’s alleged behavior following a gender reveal with his girlfriend, not Mills, last week.
“If you think this is a one-time NBA event, you’re very wrong, you’re very wrong,” Bogut said. “It’s a common occurrence in many teams that I’ve been on, it’s a common occurrence in the league, where they have different relationships and that’s how they have their relationships.”
‘Some [partners] know about it, some don’t – but it’s not something you need to be shocked about because it happens often. There’s girls I know for a fact, there’s player pay for being a side girl. Unfortunately, the stupidity of this is that the faucet cannot be turned off, bro.
Mills blasted Williamson from last Wednesday and – among other things – said he ‘better pray’ she isn’t pregnant and leaked texts, allegedly from the Pelicans star, urging her to delete the tirades on Twitter.

Williamson has yet to comment of any kind on the social media hysteria. Last Thursday night, a woman named Yamille Taylor lambasted the 22-year-old, calling him a “sex addict”.
Despite the circus, Williamson was present when his foundation announced a partnership with Jefferson Parish Schools — a system of 81 schools with about 50,000 children in Louisiana’s largest district — on Friday. Williamson’s foundation pledged $250,000 to the system, providing assistance for those in need of uniforms.
‘Once you pay a girl or a man – it can go both ways these days – you pay for an accessory to be an accessory – the moment you stop paying for that accessory your wife is going to find out at this topic bro, that’s how the world works,” Bogut explained.
“So the moment you’re like, ‘Holy shit, I’m retired, I can’t keep paying you 20,000 a month to be my sidekick because I can’t afford it anymore’, that’s fine. going public. It’s just the reality of the world. I’ve seen it mostly quietly in the NBA, I had people I played with and paid people against and so on. It’s normal brother, I have to say it’s normal.’
Bogut – who played 15 seasons in the league for the Bucks, Warriors, Mavs, Lakers and Cavs – provided an anecdote about her first entry into the Association, in which the NBA explained some of the schemes used by hungry women. ‘money.

‘[At] our rookie transition program…they said there was a group of girls at some point before I got in the league who would take the condom when the guy was done, and take it – wherever he would have come out of the trash or whatever – drop it outside the door to another girl and then try to impregnate yourself that way. It wasn’t the best way to soak in, but there were scenes like that.
“There were instances where, you know, women said they’d been violently abused in a room, and then there was elevator footage of them punching themselves, you know, so there are schemes to bring these players in, knock them up, to get money out of them.
However, the Aussie refused to put all the blame on the ‘side pieces’ NBA players associate themselves with, attributing partial responsibility to Williamson, in this instance.
“I don’t always say it’s not the players fault because it takes two to tango, but the fact that the media loves this stuff, I hate it.” I think it’s disgusting to do that, but if you’re Zion, you must be smarter than this man. You just can’t do that stuff.
