LSU is gearing up for their second NCAA March Madness tournament game, yet Tigers coach Kim Mulkey felt compelled to address rumors regarding an anticipated exposé by the Washington Post. Mulkey, speaking to reporters via the New York Post, acknowledged the forthcoming article and expressed her dismay over the reporter’s persistent efforts to construct a negative narrative about her over the past two years. She criticized the journalist for contacting LSU with a barrage of questions just before their first-round game, insinuating manipulative timing.
Mulkey also referenced a previous negative article by an unnamed Washington Post reporter targeting football coach Brian Kelly, implying a pattern of behavior. Although she didn’t name the journalist, it’s apparent she was referring to Kent Babb.
The specifics of the impending report remain unclear, but Mulkey stated her readiness to pursue legal action, affirming her resolve to enlist the assistance of a top defamation law firm and sue the Washington Post if they publish any false information about her.
Despite the looming controversy, LSU is scheduled to face Middle Tennessee in their upcoming game on Sunday at 3 p.m. EST, with the victor advancing to the Sweet 16.
