Former Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey says his wife isn’t speaking to him after the team cut him amid fallout from anti-LGBTQ+ comments he made on an Instagram live stream.
“That’s why my wife in here, and she not even texting me,” Ivey, 24, revealed on another Instagram live stream on Tuesday, March 31, “Those who are around me, those who are my family members betraying [me] because of what I spoke. The truth. Betraying me. Saying that I’m losing my mind. Saying that I’m crazy. … Those are my own household. All because of the Gospel. All because I said the truth.”
Ivey, a Purdue University alum, married former Boilermakers volleyball player Caitlyn Newton in 2022 and the pair shares son Noah, 3, daughter Shiloh, 2, and son Isaiah, 13 months.
The former Detroit Pistons draft pick first came under fire on Monday, March 30, when he railed against the NBA for celebrating Pride Month while on a stream.
NBA Suspends Employee After Social Media Posts About Charlie Kirks Death Related: NBA Suspends Employee After Social Media Posts About Charlie Kirk’s Death “The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” he said. “They proclaim Pride Month. And the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness.”
Ivey’s rant came on the heels of a series of live streams in which he appeared erratic and combative with followers in the comments section. He wrote to one fan, ”Catholicism is a false religion. And is not the true Doctrine of Christ. [It] does not lead to salvation in Jesus Christ.”
The Bulls waived Ivey on Monday, citing “conduct detrimental to the team.” Head coach Billy Donovan addressed the situation Monday evening before the team lost to the San Antonio Spurs.
“I think there’s a certain level of standards and expectations that are here,” he said. “I mean, we have people from all different walks of life working in the building and players from all different walks of life, right? So, the first thing is, everybody comes with their own personal experiences. But one is, we’ve got to all be professional. I think there’s got to be a high level of respect for one another, and we got to help each other and then be accountable to those standards.”
Ivey also appeared on Kerrigan Skelly’s “Pinpoint Podcast” on Tuesday, where he opened up about the mental toll his injuries took on him last season and how it impacted his faith.
“I’ve almost committed suicide multiple times,” he said. “And I’m not ashamed to say it. I’m not ashamed because God was merciful to keep me here. I had [oxycodone] pills in my hand. And my wife was telling me, ‘Don’t do this. Don’t go down this road.’”
He continued, “I get surgery, I’m rehabbing, right? And I’m under this false doctrine of once saved, always saved. That you’re righteous, but it doesn’t matter if you sin, it can’t touch your soul…And so I still had no peace, and I went back and…during that time, I had my two children, and I was back in the world, back in the world again, trying to figure out what, what, what is the truth?”

She needs to take that cross off her neck.
Best thing that could happen to him, time to dump her.
He asked for it! If you don’t like what your employer is doing, remove yourself!
And if you’re involved in a spectator sport which counts many Catholics as fans, you’re nuts to go about declaring that Catholicism is a ‘false religion’.
I don’t know if he’s just stupid or has a screw loose; but when someone is paying you to do a job, you play by their rules or you leave.
Sorry you had to find out this way.
Liberal young females is not an unfounded meme.
Polls show young men and women continually move farther apart ideologically and I believe mostly due to the “fairer” sex.

He’s welcome at my house. Have an empty room where he can stay for several weeks, free room and board. I am completely serious. Get a PM to me with a phone number let’s move on it. Pity ANY person who comes on the property to bother him.
I have him covered if he’ll come and stay with us a few weeks. I am completely honest and sincere about the invite.
“I have him covered if he’ll come and stay with us a few weeks. I am completely honest and sincere about the invite.” There is a side of me that’s inclined to ask ‘what do you have in mind’?
Peaceful living for several weeks, option of going to services with us, introduction to a truly Godly young woman should his wife decide to leave him (AFTER that takes place), helping him find employment here in Texas. Ready to go here. Let’s roll!
SUE
There are plenty of Christian women out there who would love to be texting with you and more. Dump that heathen and move on.
No, Caitlyn.
Not a very supportive wife.
Well, that’ll teach him not to be on God’s side.

I think Jayden should review the epic poem “gold digger” by Kanye West, it’ll explain the situation in language he’ll understand
Too bad he didn’t see her for what she was before marrying her.
