A delicate topic for Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball has hit the headlines again, as his girlfriend has responded to repeated claims that she is involved in prostitution.

Ana Montana is the girlfriend of the 21-year-old Ball and she decided she needed to respond to the repeated claims that she once played a role in a prostitution ring.

"To pregame and go to the club together or lay out by the pool and get content, I never witnessed any type of prostitution when I did go," Montana on Instagram.

"It's just rumours, none of it is facts!

"People always try to make me look like the bad guy but I don't condone any of that!"

"I never in my life went to Dubai or Nigeria for prostitution, that's a lie, there's legit no proof, I was travelling all over the world then.

"These things were said about me, I'm African I was in Cape Verde with family and went to Nigeria to visit."

Ana Montana promises more revelations

As the conversation developed, she ended by saying she would continue to defend herself.

"I'll do a video on it one day, I never was in a prostitution ring, I was friends with some of the girls who lived in the house and would come over," she added.

An unwanted problem for LaMelo Ball

For LaMelo Ball, he'll hope that this situation and these accusations end soon, as he doesn't want these kinds of distractions.

Ball, who was voted the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2021 and named an NBA All-Star the following season in 2022, has not made any comments on the topic.

His 2022/23 has been troublesome enough, as he has missed action with injury and the Charlotte Hornets are bottom of the Eastern Conference in the NBA with a record of seven wins and 22 losses.
