A celebrity therapist hired by Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving to facilitate wellness workshops at a family retreat he hosted claims the eight-time NBA All-Star is now refusing to pay for her services — which included additional counseling after one attendee died unexpectedly during the event.
Social worker Natasha McCartney provided, among other things, guided meditation sessions, ionic foot baths, and “intuitive life readings” to Irving and his relatives at a five-day gathering in North Dakota last summer, according to a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court and obtained by The Independent. When she was forced to pivot quickly to crisis intervention and grief counseling, McCartney’s suit says she went above and beyond, acting as a liaison between police and the family, making arrangements with the coroner, and “promptly facilitat[ing] the removal of Kyrie from the scene to avoid media exposure.”
