Former sports reporter Kelli Tennant spoke publicly for the first time after filing a sexual battery lawsuit against recently hired Kings coach Luke Walton.
Speaking from Los Angeles on Tuesday, Tennant recounted the alleged incident that took place in a Santa Monica hotel room years ago, when she went to visit Walton, a friend who was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors at the time.
While Tennant said she feared she was going to be raped, Walton’s lawyer has dismissed the charges, calling his client’s accuser “an opportunist, not a victim.
