Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers are on a mission to repeat as national champions. In the midst of March Madness, the Washington Post published an article on the 61-year-old coach that has garnered attention.
The published article titled 'The Kim Mulkey Way' is by Kent Babb. It explores in depth Mukley's life as a basketball player and coach. It also highlights her attitude and personality as a coach and her journey. Before the article was released, however, Mulkey had threatened legal action against the author, describing the story as a "hit piece."
After the story was published, some fans questioned why the LSU HC was mad in the first place.
"Remind me what the hell was she so mad about?" the fan tweeted.
However, others blasted the Washington Post for creating unnecessary hype around the article.
Kim Mulkey threatened to file a lawsuit against the Washington Post
During a recent press conference, Mulkey claimed former players told her the Washington Post contacted them for information.
"Former players have told me that the Washington Post has contacted them and offered them to be anonymous in a story in they'll say negative things about me," Mulkey said.
"The Washington Post has called former disgruntled players to include negative quotes to include in their story. They're ignoring the 40-plus years of positive stories that they have heard from people about me."
Mulkey expressed her dismay at the current state of journalism. She closed her speech with a threat.
"I've hired the best defamation law firm in the country, Mulkey said, "and I will sue the Washington Post if they publish a false story about me. Not many people are in a position to hold these kinds of journalists accountable, but I am, and I'll do it."
Kim Mulkey and her team are scheduled to face the UCLA Bruins in the Sweet 16.
