"Good for his image": NBA fans voice mixed reactions to P.J. Washington marrying Alisah Chanel 2 years after Brittany Renner saga

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington married Alisah Chanel, the mother of his second child, at the weekend. While many were happy to see the veteran marry Chanel, others trolled him on social media.

The wedding came a little over a year after the 25-year-old former Kentucky player had proposed to Chanel in August 2022. That was months after Washington had broken up with his controversial former girlfriend Brittany Renner, with whom he has a child.

P.J. Washington and Chanel welcomed their son on Dec. 17, 2022. The happy moment for the Washingtons, though, was marred by trolls on social media.

Below are some comments on X (formerly Twitter) and the forum dedicated to it on the Lipstick Alley website:

P.J. Washington says he “always wanted to stay in Charlotte” after re-signing with team

P.J, Washinton re-signed with the Charlotte Hornets in a three-year, $48-million deal in the offseason. He said staying in Charlotte was a priority for him, as he has grown to love the city and the organization.

Washington said during the press conference after re-signing with the team:

"For me, I always wanted to stay in Charlotte, no doubt about that."

Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak jokingly interrupted:

"That's not what your agents were saying. It's the first I've heard of that."

P.J. Washington was selected 12th overall by Charlotte in the 2019 NBA draft. In his first four years with the team, he has averaged a steady 12.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Along with point guard wizard LaMelo Ball, young guns Mark Williams and Brandon Miller, and veterans Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier, Washington will look to help Charlotte improve on its 27-55 record from last season and compete for a playoff spot.
