Sophie Cunningham still afraid: She reveals 20 different stalkers are being monitored by the FBI
The Indiana Fever star has revealed disturbing concerns about her safety while discussing an ongoing stalking case
Sophie Cunningham has become one of the most recognizable personalities in women's basketball, but the Indiana Fever guard says the increased attention has brought serious concerns about her personal safety.
The 30-year-old made a startling disclosure during an appearance on Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast, explaining that she believes the FBI is monitoring approximately 20 individuals because of their behavior toward her.
Her comments came amid an ongoing criminal case involving Kevin Singh , an Indiana man accused of repeatedly contacting Cunningham through threatening and sexually explicit social media messages.
Although Cunningham has embraced the WNBA's expanding audience, she acknowledged that greater visibility has also exposed players to troubling situations away from basketball.
"The more you're visible on TV, you're gonna get more fans. Like, people are gonna know who you are, and that's a really great thing," Cunningham explained.
"But there's also a lot of like, kind of crazy people too that like, we do have a lot of stalkers. I know I do."
When Von asked whether she had personally experienced stalking, Cunningham suggested the situation was considerably more extensive than many supporters might realize.
"Oh my gosh. Yeah. Like, I will have to check if I'm even allowed to say this, but like, I like have, I think, 20, I think, people kind of that the FBI are watching for me, me alone," she said.
Cunningham declined to identify those individuals, explaining that she wasn't permitted to discuss their identities publicly. However, one case involving Cunningham has already resulted in criminal charges and remains before the courts.
Judge rejects alleged stalker's request
Singh , 49, has been held in Marion County Jail since his June 23 arrest on charges of stalking, intimidation and harassment.
His attorney recently requested a reduction of his $40,000 bail, arguing that Singh had been assaulted while in custody and needed to leave jail for his safety.
A Marion County judge rejected the request on October 23 after court records failed to substantiate the alleged assault.
Cunningham learned about the ruling during her podcast appearance and immediately welcomed the decision.
"Nice," she said while clapping. "Good work, judge."
According to investigators, Singh allegedly continued contacting Cunningham after receiving a cease-and-desist letter in April.
Court documents also describe an earlier delivery to Gainbridge Fieldhouse containing a letter and a cologne-sprayed Guns N' Roses T-shirt.
Singh has not been convicted of the charges involving Cunningham.
Indiana Fever star described feeling unsafe
The allegations have already affected Cunningham 's daily life, according to statements recorded by investigators.
A detective wrote that Cunningham had been spending more time at home, experiencing nightmares and feeling constantly concerned about her surroundings.
The case follows a separate stalking prosecution involving Fever teammate Caitlin Clark , whose harasser was sentenced to prison in 2025.
Cunningham 's revelations also arrive as she approaches unrestricted free agency following Indiana's playoff elimination against the Las Vegas Aces .
While her future with the Fever remains uncertain, the guard's latest comments highlight a growing challenge facing high-profile athletes: protecting their personal safety while navigating the increasing visibility of professional women's sports.
