Megan Thee Stallion Dumps a Cheater
All Hail Megan Thee Stallion who dumped her cheater, Klay Thompson and refused to be a chump. Shockingly (not shockingly?), she’s getting grief for this.
***
You have to be some kind of idiot to cheat on Megan Thee Stallion. Add her to the list of amazingly talented, gorgeous, successful women — Beyonce, Shakira, Christie Brinkley — who’ve been cheated on by FWs. In this case the FW was her boyfriend, basketball player, Klay Thompson.
In a statement to the gossip site TMZ, the singer said about her breakup:
“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
Megan thee Stallion
Trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable.
Louder, for those in the back!
TRUST, FIDELITY, AND RESPECT ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Amen!
THERE IS NO REAL PATH FORWARD.
Simple. Perfect message. Definitive. Truth.
I don’t know if the publicist crafted this, or Megan Thee Stallion herself, but it doesn’t matter. The message is getting out — this woman has self-respect and she’s not going to take his sh*t any longer. SHE is the prize. And she conducts herself accordingly.
No unicorn for you Klay. Go home.
TMZ reports:
The confirmation comes after the singer hopped on Instagram Saturday to share a cryptic note to her Story in which she seemingly accused the NBA star of cheating. She wrote … “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet.'”
Cold feet, mixed signals are just one signal — this person isn’t available for a relationship.
She went on … “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be “monogamous”???? bitch I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.”
Find another chump to do your emotional labor Klay. I hope you and your flaccid basketball are very happy together.
Not everyone is supportive.
Can you believe in the comments at TMZ there are people blaming her for expecting fidelity and respect from an athlete boyfriend?
Yes, Tracy. I’m well-acquainted with chump victim-blaming, thank you.
Let’s stop putting the onus on betrayed people to be mind readers. The problem is NOT that Megan Thee Stallion couldn’t see he was a cheater, the problem is that HE PRESENTED A FALSE SELF. And enjoyed her investment in him. Like, literally. Apparently she bought him quite a few expensive bobbles.
I’m glad you stopped investing, Megan. You’re an inspiration. Thanks for setting a LACGAL example.

I’m not familiar with her, but any woman who stands up and says “no path forward” is a hero to me.
The phrase “no path forward” was one of my favorites when justifying why I refused to reconcile. His family and most of the people at my church at the time were questioning me about that. Why didn’t I “try harder”? Can’t God fix anything? Fifteen years of his pill addiction and mental health issues, and then the obsession with s*x. I had tried everything. I was over it.
No path forward.
Eugh, I’m so sorry you went through this. Funny how they always seem to omit the cheater from their “why can’t you do better?” suggestions.
He took off to the beach to find himself. In time, I realized that the blame was mine partially because I wasn’t the one who ran off. I became the target, in part, because I was still around.
But in my religious circles, they tended to blame the wife if there was infidelity, which is just plain garbage. And who unzipped his pants? NOT ME.
I cut off his very religious family and left that church some years later when I decided that I was over with them. The new church has divorced people, many of us chumps. Also, a lot of former spouses of alcoholics/addicts. All good.
Well said.
Beautiful, talented, and did anyone else see the video of the Thanksgiving feast she prepared for he and his family?
Klay, if I can offer some unsolicited advice… the big head would probably make better life choices. Give it a try.
Yet another example of how these FW’s are emotional black holes. Entitled to…well everything! Anything! Whenever they want it! Well done, Megan! And if she wobbles, which will all pray she doesn’t, we will also understand. But I’m hoping she has this f***t’rd’s number and has nipped it in the bud forever. It’s bad enough being a private person when this happens with all the petty judgement. I truly can’t imagine what it is like for the person who is a public figure.
There are just TOO MANY VOLUNTEERS out there who lay under cheaters every single night. RESPECT is zero SELF RESPECT SUBZERO. I applaud anyone who ups and leaves a cheaters…there is no other way. Thank you Tracy
As Tracy said, I really liked the way she announced this, whether it was her own words she came up with, or her publicist’s.
It was very straightforward, pretty concise, and REALLY understandable.
That whole opening statement is a beautiful thing to probably any chump who wishes they could go back and address their cheaters scummy actions against them with words Iike these.
It’s like The Declaration of Independence from FW’s for Chumps!
“I’ve made my decision to end my relationship with…”
“Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable…in a relationship…”
“…when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.”
“I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
Then she calls out how happy he was to take what she would give him. Putting up with him cheating (??; Okay, that’s not good but she’s realized that it seems and moved forward to leave him behind, clearly), playing house for him around his family (partner-appliance), how he got cold -feet (discard?), how she put up with his HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment of her when he was working (general *ssholery, which is awful when layered in with all the rest of his scumminess).
Then he tells her he’s not sure he can be “monogamous.” Pathetic. Absolutely effing pathetic. He’s not a man. He’s a physically large, mentally and emotionally undeveloped immature little baby boy.
Grow up, Klay. But I think you lost out on a woman who definitely knows her worth (this is me asking the Universe for her to not take him back, please!😡). Let him figure out how to be mature, honest, caring and trustworthy. Maybe another woman will take a chance on him then. Maybe they won’t.
What I really hope is that no woman takes a chance on him till that happens. He gives the male gender a bad name. Unfortunately, like so many others.🙄 But hats off to Megan Thee Stallion. Way to be mighty!😁
“Can you believe in the comments at TMZ there are people blaming her for expecting fidelity and respect from an athlete boyfriend?”
This is so frustrating. So, of course we are all aware that there is a “trope” that big time althletes cheat.
But Megan thee Stallion is rich, famous and beautiful. If what she wants is a committed, monogamous relationship, the line to fill that spot is loooooong and full of great candidates. She is not desperate. And presumably, Klay said that is what he wanted.
People focus on the wrong part. Sure, he is a star athlete, he will have the opportunity to cheat, but if what he wants is an unlimited P***y buffet, he can just..have that. He didn’t need to get inviolved in a monogamous relationship with Megan.
She isn’t wrong for assuming the guy she was seeing wanted what he said he wanted.
Geez.
Wow, dude. You fumbled Megan Thee Stallion? Megan Thee Stallion????
I’ve respected how she talks about her work. This is a woman who is able to be that baddie hiphop megastar, and can tell you the lineage southern Texas rap that she grew up in. While building that career, she got her degree in Health Administration “to honor her mom and grandma.” She is the sole backer of a foundation that works on education, health and housing for women in Houston.
Good for her kicking his butt to the curb and putting out a clear statement.
I imagine she’ll fix her picker. Maybe some lovely, “boring,” stable SVP of public health somewhere will get to love her and together they can do hot girl shit like jogging, eating veggies and founding hospitals.
There’s a nice video of the crowd at Moulin Rouge yelling out their support of Megan.
That statement is iconic; absolutely to the point, powerful and not a single word wasted. I do not know her music but, from from those words alone, I love her work.
I would hope that Megan Thee Stallion can turn the phrase “Trust, fidelity and respect” into an absolute banger in an Aretha Franklin R.E.S.P.E.C.T for the 21st Century (perhaps with a pinch of “Peace, Love and Understanding” by Elvis Costello thrown in) kind of way.
And I would hope that, every time that Klay Thompson hears it, he feels about an inch smaller than he already is.

Maybe she and Shakira can join up for a diss track.
Not so much a “Diss” track …. more a “I am worthy of respect” track perhaps?

Hi friends —
Divorced now 10 years, and No Contact since then. A friend reached out to tell me that James Bond has died. I was a little sad, but I promise, not at all sentimental.
I love this!
We need more public figures blasting CL message loud and clear to spread the word. So.much better off than Cardi b
I believe the message of Chump Lady is permeating the ether and setting free chumps everywhere … To think that all this time we had the option to simply say “NO!” not just to FW, but to the lies of wreckonciliation forced on us by toxic media, religion, family and worst of all ourselves via internalized abuse. Power to Megan Thee Stallion for stating it loud and clear.
