NBA superstar and former first-overall draft pick Zion Williamson has been accused of rxpe and physical abuse in Los Angeles by a Jane Doe claiming to be his former girlfriend, according to a lawsuit obtained by Daily Mail.

In addition to two specific rape allegations, the New Orleans Pelicans power forward is accused of a continuing pattern of 'abusive, controlling, and threatening behavior toward Plaintiff,' as detailed in the filing provided to Daily Mail by Doe's attorney.

'We and our client do not want to litigate this case in the press,' the statement from the Lanier Law Firm's Sam Taylor began. 'However, I will say this is a very serious case as reflected in the Complaint filed in Los Angeles County. Our client looks forward to her day in court before a jury of her peers to obtain justice in this matter.'

Daily Mail has also reached out Williamson's agent for comment.

According to the filing, Doe and Williamson began dating around 2018 when he was attending Duke. They allegedly remained together from 2018 through June of 2023, by which time he was playing in the NBA for the Pelicans.

The Plaintiff claims Williamson abused, controlled and threatened her throughout their relationship, adding that the abuse was ‘sixual, physical, emotional and financial in nature.’

Doe claims to have been rxped twice by Williamson after he moved to Beverly Hills in the fall of 2020 to train during COVID.

After being picked up at a hotel by a person described in the complaint as Williamson’s agent, she was brought to the 6-foot-6 NBA superstar’s home to find he wasn’t there, according to the filing. Doe claims when Williamson eventually did return home late that evening, she tried to leave only for him to call her ‘stuck up’ and a ‘b****’ and demand six.

When she refused, Williamson , ‘pinned Plaintiff down on the bed with her hands behind her back and rxped her,’ according to the lawsuit.

The Plaintiff goes on to accuse Williamson of denying her access to her phone, choking her and yelling at her for ‘talking too much.’

A second rxpe is alleged to have occurred a month later after Doe told Williamson she wanted to visit a friend in San Diego, according to the filing.

Williamson allegedly told her she couldn’t go before growing angry and throwing things, which the Plaintiff said resulted in her being fearful.

An enraged Williamson allegedly picked up Doe before throwing her down on the floor and violently rxping her.

He is then accused of taking her phone and laptop for a period of time to prevent her from reporting the alleged assault or seeking medical care.

Doe insists these were not isolated incidents, but part of a broader pattern of abuse, rxpe and assault.

The relationship came to an end in 2023.
