JACKSON THOMPSON: Sophie Cunningham says she hired ’24/7′ security amid claim of FBI intervention
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham says she has hired security to travel with her around the clock, after describing concerns about stalkers and unwanted attention. Her comments highlight how increased public visibility has affected her daily routine and the boundaries she is trying to establish.
Cunningham previously said she believed the FBI was watching about 20 people over concerns involving her, but that estimate and the agency’s role have not been independently verified. In June, Indiana prosecutors charged Kevin Singh with stalking, intimidation and harassment; the charges are allegations. Cunningham also criticised the WNBA’s selection of players for its three-point contest, despite shooting 41.9% from three in the 2026 regular season, and called for tougher coaching.
In short
- Cunningham says round-the-clock security will travel with her.
- Her claims about FBI monitoring have not been independently verified.
- She also discussed fan boundaries and WNBA coaching and contest selection.
