Remember Megan’s 2015 mugshot? Klay Thompson’s girlfriend explains what really happened
Years before her current relationship, a mugshot from 2015 resurfaced online, prompting Megan to explain what happened during an Instagram Live session. The incident occurred when she was around 19 or 20, attending the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, with a boyfriend at the time.According to Megan, she discovered her then‑boyfriend had cheated on her and fathered a child with another woman during the concert. She said she attempted to walk away, but the situation escalated when her partner allegedly pulled on her and even snatched and smashed her phone, limiting her ability to call for help.A witness reportedly called the police as the argument continued, and when law enforcement arrived, Megan said she began to fight back and then found herself appearing to be the “aggressor.” She later joked about seeing her own mugshot, but also described the relationship as “toxic.”In her explanation, Megan described trying to keep the peace but acknowledged that tensions boiled over. She recounted telling police her boyfriend did not hit her because she didn’t want him to go to jail, even though later he suggested she had struck him during the altercation. The case was ultimately dismissed in April 2016 after her then‑boyfriend did not appear in court. Megan has also used the incident to reflect on relationships, advising others not to tolerate toxic behavior, and noting that she was young at the time. She made clear in her remarks that the relationship was unhealthy and that she has learned from it.Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2025, making their red carpet debut at her Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. Thompson, a four‑time NBA champion and Dallas Mavericks guard, has been described by Megan as the “kindest person” she’s ever dated, and the couple has drawn positive attention for their supportive dynamic.Also read – 41 things you didn’t know about LeBron James as he celebrates his 41st birthday
