Kim Mulkey: Washington Post finally publish ‘hit piece’ on LSU coach despite threat of legal action… as former Baylor player claims she made her life ‘hell’ and targeted her after finding out she was gay

Kim Mulkey has been accused of clashing with players who openly display their sexuality and targeting a former Baylor star after finding out she was gay in the Washington Post’s ‘hit piece’ on the LSU coach.

Rumors first surfaced last week of the Post planning to run a controversial story on Mulkey, who threatened to sue the newspaper if they published information she regards as ‘false’.

Despite the threat of legal action, the story in question was finally released on Saturday – and it alleges that the 61-year-old treats homosexual members of her teams more harshly than others.

Kelli Griffin, who played for Mulkey at Baylor from 2007-10, claims her former coach made her life ‘hell’ and targeted her after finding out that she was gay/

While branding her an ‘amazing coach’ and admitting she only moved to Baylor to play under her, Griffin suggested that Mulkey drew attention to her clothes and issued her a suspension that would ultimately end her career only after learning of her sexuality.

The former point guard alleges that Mulkey began asking why she dressed like a boy as soon as she arrived on campus at Baylor, while telling her that ‘a lady wears a dress’ as opposed to baggy jeans, basketball shorts or sweats. 

‘Okay, this lady might not like gay people,’ Griffin recalls thinking at the time.

Mulkey, a four-time NCAA Division 1 winner, is also accused of having a decade-long feud with Brittney Griner – once her star player at Baylor.
