Zion Williamson drama with porn star Moriah Mills is ‘a common occurrence’ according to Andrew Bogut
NBA champion Andrew Bogut has said Zion Williamson’s engagement to porn star Moriah Mills is a “common occurrence” and labeled the wider media coverage of the situation as “disgusting.”
Bogut gave extensive comments on his Rogue Bogues 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-off in the NBA, you’re dead wrong, dead wrong,” Bogut said. “This is common with a lot of teams I’ve been to, this is a common thing 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 this isn’t something you should be shocked about, because it happens a lot. There are girls that I know have player payrolls to be a side girl. Unfortunately, the stupid thing about that is that the tap can’t be turned off, mate.’
Mills has put Williamson on edge since last Wednesday, saying – among other things – that he “better praying” that she’s not pregnant and leaked texts, reportedly from the Pelicans star, urging her to delete the Twitter diatribes.

Williamson has yet to comment on the social media hysteria. Last Thursday night, a woman named Yamille Taylor berated the 22-year-old, calling him a “sex addict.”
Despite the circus, Williamson was on hand when his foundation announced Friday a partnership with Jefferson Parish Schools — a system of 81 schools serving about 50,000 children in Louisiana’s largest district. Williamson’s foundation has pledged $250,000 to the system to provide assistance to those in need of uniforms.
“Once you pay a girl or a man – this can go either way these days – you pay a side payment to be a side payment – the moment you stop paying that side payment, your wife will find out about that, mate, that’s the way the world works,” Bogut explained.
“So the moment you think, ‘Holy s***, I’m retired, I can’t keep paying you 20,000 a month to be my side hustle because I can’t afford it anymore,’ that’s going to go public. That’s just the reality of the world. I saw it mostly in the NBA in silence, I had a few people I played with and people paid against and stuff. It’s normal bro, I gotta say it’s normal.’
Bogut – who played 15 seasons in the league for the Bucks, Warriors, Mavs, Lakers and Cavs – gave an anecdote from when he first joined the Association, explaining to the NBA some of the schemes pursued by money-hungry women. used.

Williamson was described as a “nasty sex addict” by Yamille Taylor, a “digital creator” (above)
‘[At] our rookie transition program… they mentioned that at some point before I got into the league there was a group of girls who would take the condom when the guy was done, and take it – wherever it was from the trash or whatever – drop it outside the door to another girl and then try to conceive that way. Not the best way to get impregnated, but there were scenes like that.
“There were cases where, you know, women said they were violently assaulted in a room, and then there was elevator footage of them beating themselves, you know, so there are plans to get these players, to beat them up beat, for money from them.’
However, the Australian refused to put all the blame on the “side pieces” NBA players associate with, attributing partial responsibility to Williamson in this case.
“I don’t always say it’s not the player’s fault because it takes two to tango, but the fact that the media likes this kind of thing, I hate that. I hate doing this, but if you’re Zion, you’ve got to be smarter than that man. You just can’t do that kind of thing.”
