Jaden Newman has said her social media account was hacked after alleged private intimate material involving the basketball player began circulating online, prompting her to ask people to stop sharing or discussing it.
The 22-year-old, who plays for the Cal State Los Angeles Golden Eagles, addressed the situation during a Twitch livestream in early August. Her brother, former youth basketball player Julian Newman, later defended her in a YouTube video and alleged that an ex-boyfriend was responsible for the material. That claim has not been independently verified.
