The FBI is monitoring around 20 individuals believed to pose a threat to WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, she told podcaster Theo Von this week.

Asked about stalkers fixating on league players, Cunningham said it is a major problem for her.

‘We do have a lot of stalkers. I know I do,’ she told podcaster Theo Von. ‘And like that’s a negative side of things that people don’t think about. And so you do want to feel secure.

‘We’ll have to check if I’m even allowed to say this,’ Cunningham continued. ‘I have, I think, 20 people, kind of, that the FBI are watching for me.’

Cunningham went on to reference Kevin Singh, a defendant currently being held in a Marion County, Indiana detention center on charges of felony stalking, felony intimidation and misdemeanor harassment. Singh has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

‘I know one of them,’ Cunningham said of her alleged stalkers. ‘He’s locked away now… His name’s Kevin.’

Cunningham went on to reference Kevin Singh, a defendant currently being held in a Marion County, Indiana detention center. He has pleated not guilty to allegations of stalking 

Cunningham attempted to lighten the mood by mentioning her pet donkey, also named Kevin, and her newfound dilemma over his name.

‘Do I need to rename Kevin?’ she asked.

Contacted by The Daily Mail, an FBI spokesperson declined to comment on Cunningham’s claims.  

The Indiana Fever veteran has been alternately criticized and praised by liberals and conservatives, respectively, after voicing her objection to trans athletes competing in women’s sports. However, she did not specifically claim her stalkers are motivated by the controversy over her opinion in the matter.

Cunningham did praise the WNBA for implementing more security in recent years.

Singh was arrested in June. He allegedly hand-delivered a package addressed to ‘Sophie’ at Gainbridge Fieldhouse that was found to contain a Guns N’ Roses t-shirt sprayed with men’s cologne, as well as a letter, according to prosecutors.

Shortly after, prosecutors say, Singh began crossing the line with persistent social media messages, some of which are described as explicit.

According to a probable cause affidavit in the case, Singh began escalating his behavior in February, when prosecutors say he became increasingly threatening, even after being sent a cease-and-desist letter. He was ultimately banned from the arena.

‘The organization literally threatened me with JAIL,’ Singh allegedly wrote to Cunningham over social media. ‘Over what?? Because you can’t stop looking at what I post?? Do you have ANY f***ing clue what that threat feels like? I can’t go there for ANY reason. Any concert, comedy show… bc if you, & your F***ed UP mental health.’

Singh has also sued the Fever’s parent company Pacers Sports & Entertainment after being barred from the arena, claiming he ‘suffered financial losses, embarrassment, emotional distress, and loss of use of purchased event access’ as a result of the decision, according to the lawsuit.

Cunningham initially dismissed the alleged harassment, but then became fearful, police said

According to prosecutors, Cunningham initially thought Singh was ‘another guy posting nasty things,’ but is now taking more caution in public.

‘She has been staying in her home more, and she’s been having nightmares,’ read the court file, reported by Fox59.com. ‘Sophie Cunningham also said she feels like she is always watching her back, doesn’t feel safe and is fearful of Kevin Singh.’

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the case has added weight due to Singh’s prior criminal history.

As reported by WISHTV.com, Singh is on probation in Hendricks County (Indiana) after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy. Prosecutors in that case dismissed a stalking charge and four other felonies, according to WISHTV.com.

Cunningham is sadly not the first Fever player to be stalked. In July of 2025, a man named Michael Lewis pleaded guilty to stalking Caitlin Clark and was subsequently given a 2.5-year jail sentence.

A Fever spokesperson declined to comment on the matter to The Daily Mail, citing pending litigation.

‘The internet has made it easier than ever to target, harass and intimidate others. Threats of violence, whether face-to-face or behind a keyboard, will be taken seriously,’ Mears said in a statement.

‘Coming forward is never easy, regardless of a person’s position or public profile. The victim is setting an example by speaking out. No one should have to endure harassment, intimidation or threats of violence, and every person deserves to feel safe in their workplace and throughout our community.’
