WNBA star’s shocking post about Charlie Kirk’s death resurfaces after furious mid-game confrontation with ex-NBA star

Social media posts from Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk have re-surfaced following her confrontation with Enes Kanter Freedom.On Sunday, during the second half of a game against the Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena, Cloud stormed over to Freedom as he sat courtside and the two got into an argument. Freedom, who played in the NBA for years, has sparked controversy after he claimed he is ‘transitioning’ to become a WNBA player.The two were seen shouting at each other before Cloud’s teammates pulled her back to avoid an ejection. Meanwhile, Freedom was kicked out of the arena after he walked onto the court.Cloud has gained a reputation for being a fierce social justice advocate and one of the more vocally progressive players in the WNBA. She bolstered this by posting to Threads: ‘To every trans kid/person, you are apart of MY community & tribe. You belong. You’re loved. You’re seen. You’re perfect as you are. & you will always be protected by me.’Enraged, right-wing social media accounts dug up Cloud’s posts from the days after Kirk was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University last September. Posts made by Natasha Cloud concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk have resurfaced The posts were dug up by right-wing accounts after Cloud’s spat with Enes Kanter Freedom Cloud claimed that Kirk, the right-wing activist and ‘Turning Point USA’ founder had ‘lobbied to be shot in public’ and ‘called for public executions’ before his death in Utah last SeptemberReplying to a comment left by an internet troll on September 12, 2025, two days after the right-wing activist’s assassination, Cloud posted that Kirk, ‘lobbied to be shot in public. He literally called for public executions.’After the incident with Freedom on Sunday, right-wing accounts began amplifying the old post from Cloud.’Natasha Cloud the player that went at Enes Kanter said Charlie Kirk lobbied to be shot in public. The WNBA tolerates the most vile behavior as long as it is from the radical Left. They discriminate against fans who oppose men in women’s sports with today being another example,’ wrote one user on X. Another user posted: ‘Man she is asking for it!’ A comment on a video of the incident read, ‘F*** Natasha Cloud. She was happy when Charlie Kirk died. She isn’t even human.’ Around the same time as her initial posts, Cloud also tweeted about the political background of the family of Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson.In a since-deleted tweet, Cloud said: ‘So how y’all gone twist this? Raised in a good middle class family, dad was an officer/church leader, whole family of Republicans and gun owners [and] Trump supporters.’ She also made the claim that Robinson and his family were ‘far-right Republicans.’Following the spat with Freedom, the former NBA player revealed his side of the story. Freedom alleged Cloud told him Sophie Cunningham ‘won’t sleep with you’He told OutKick: ‘Sophie Cunningham shot a three, and I put my hands up to celebrate. Literally, a couple [of] possessions later, Natasha came back and started screaming and yelling and said, “She’s not gonna sleep with you.”‘And I was like, “I am not trying to sleep with her. I’m just here to protect women and support her.” And then, obviously, after that, she started yapping, and she started to walk towards me, and literally I just got up, and then I was like, “I’m just here to protect women, and that’s all.”‘She started to yell. She started to use some very heavy language. She started to actually cuss, and I was very shocked that there were a lot of kids and that there were a lot of teenagers at that game.’I just cannot believe that she was just cussing and using those F-bombs in front of all these kids. I’m sure she’s loved in Chicago and many kids are idolizing her and stuff, but that’s not how a WNBA athlete should react.’Taking to X after he was removed by security, Freedom wrote: ‘I just got kicked out of a @WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!’He also wrote: ‘It’s always women hating on other women’.Meanwhile, in another video, Freedom was seen arguing with security after being escorted away from his courtside seat, telling them, ‘This is unacceptable.’  Freedom, who has spent more than a decade in the NBA, recently sent shockwaves through women’s basketball after revealing he wants to play alongside the likes of Caitlin Clark. Freedom appeared to welcome the confrontation from Sky star Cloud during the game The pair could be seen yelling at each other mid-game at the Wintrust Arena on Sunday nightEarlier in the night, Freedom was confronted by furious fans as he arrived at the Wintrust Arena for the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky clash.He wore a provocative T-shirt that included a definition of the word woman. ‘Woman. Noun,’ it read. ‘Adult human female.’ The words woman and female were highlighted in red. And he was not given a warm welcome by everyone, with one fan calling the 34-year-old a ‘b**** a** n****’ and telling him to ‘get [his] b**** a** out of Chicago.’ Another said ‘f*** you b****,’ while a third held up their middle finger in the face of Freedom, who was flanked by police outside the arena. ‘We are getting attacked before the @WNBA game in Chicago,’ he posted alongside a video of the incident.But the former Utah Jazz and New York Knicks star was greeted by cheers and high-fives from other fans in Chicago.There have been regular protests and counter-protests at WNBA games in recent weeks, after Cunningham sparked controversy by claiming she wants to ‘protect young girls’ from ‘biological men.’On Sunday in Chicago, there was a ‘save women’s sports party’ in support of Cunningham. Freedom stopped by to greet fans. After making it inside Wintrust Arena, Freedom was pictured courtside as Cunningham and Clark faced a rematch with the Sky and DiJonai Carrington.Earlier this month, Cunningham slammed Carrington for ‘playing’ the race ‘card’ after the Chicago Sky star appeared to suggest her rival benefited from ‘white privilege’ during a shocking fracas. Earlier in the night, Freedom was confronted by fans as he arrived at the Fever-Sky clashCarrington was ejected from the clash between the Sky and the Indiana Fever after a hard foul left Cunningham bloodied and on the floor. Toward the end of the first quarter, Cunningham drove towards the basket, only to be struck in the face by Carrington’s arm as the Chicago player attempted a block.The Sky star was assessed a flagrant 2 and sent to the locker room, with both Cunningham and her teammate Clark seen waving as Carrington headed off the court. Minutes later, Carrington posted on social media ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE @indianafever,’ sparking yet another WNBA scandal.Meanwhile, Sky star Cloud made headlines of her own recently after launching a furious verbal tirade regarding the sex-toy-throwing incidents of late.Speaking to reporters after Chicago’s victory over the Golden State Valkyries on Friday, Cloud did not hold back when asked about the recurring fan behavior.’It’s lame as f***; Sorry, mama,’ the 34-year-old veteran said. Cloud, who is a lesbian, continued: ‘And I just, man, and like, in most of these occasions, it’s men. And I want you to know that is the gayest thing that you can do is to go to a store, a sex shop, buy a d****, come to a women’s game to throw the d**** on the court.’That is the gayest s*** that I’ve ever heard. So I’m a firm believer in anyone that has so much problem with a certain marginalized group, just come out and say that you’re a part of our marginalized group because that hate is unwarranted. It’s not factual.’And it says more about the internal struggles of that individual than it ever will say about the collective group.’ This incident comes days after DiJonai Carrington’s hard foul on Indiana’s Sophie CunninghamCloud went on to call the perpetrators ‘extremely weak,’ stating that their actions fail to rattle the players on the court and instead reflect poorly on the fans responsible.’Y’all lame as s*** to us. Y’all gay to us and we see it,’ Cloud continued. ‘So keep throwing them if you just want to keep telling us you’re gay. You can come out. You’ll be happier. You’ll be nicer to people. You’ll be happier in your everyday life. You don’t need to go to therapy or none of that s***. Just be yourself.’She concluded her postgame comments by questioning how the culprits explain the purchases on their financial records.’Y’all weird,’ she added. ‘Like it says d**** on their credit card. Like they have to go through their financial advisor and be like, ‘What’s this green d****? You good, Chad? You good, Richard? Are you good, Paul?’ Because it also is a certain demographic. Y’all cool? Are y’all cool? And don’t be running.’
