Luke Walton is maintaining his innocence once again.
Back in April, a woman named Kelli Tennant filed a lawsuit against now Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton, saying he sexually assaulted her.
The details of the case had remained pretty closed off, until Luke Walton broke his natural silence.
Luke Walton admits he did meet up with the woman accusing him of sexual assault in a Santa Monica hotel room… but the Sacramento Kings head coach says she’s lying about what went down.
Walton claims his accuser, Kelli Tennant, was the person who initiated their meet-up, but he is adamant their encounter was “platonic” and nothing sexual even occurred.
Walton also denies any other serious personal contact between him and Tennant.
Now, Walton is pushing back against many of her claims from her lawsuit … he says he did NOT write a foreword for her book, says he was NOT her broadcasting mentor and says there was NO sexual assault when she dropped off her book at his hotel.
These new details can shake the case, but rarely do if there’s no evidence to back up Walton’s claims.
Even then, this incident occurred during Walton’s time as a Warriors assistant coach.
In the docs, Walton claims Tennant never complained to him or anyone else, including law enforcement, about any aspect of the visit that she initiated … and he points out she waited nearly 5 years to file her complaint.
