"Wouldn't put my business out": Joe Smith silences claims that the entire OnlyFans drama is a stunt to raise money

Former NBA player Joe Smith has shot down claims that the OnlyFans drama he is currently embroiled in with his wife, Kisha Chavis, is designed for them to raise money. He said it was far from the truth and that he was hurting from the entire episode.

Speaking to sports journalist DJ Vlad on YouTube, the 1995 top rookie pick reiterated that he is an extremely private person and that his issue with his wife is something he does not want other people to feast on, more so to make money out of.

The now-48-year-old University of Maryland standout said:

“That's not what happened and that's not what's going on right now. I mean it's a real issue and um the video hurt. But then also the fact that I had to find out about the OnlyFans page you know, that's another thing on top of it.”

“I wouldn't put my my business out in the streets. I wouldn't put nothing like this out in the streets unless it was, you know, real official, and I didn't do this one. So it's hurting, it's hurtful."

The Joe Smith-Kisha Chavis drama stemmed from the NBA player recently finding out that his wife had an OnlyFans page before he confronted her about it. While arguing over it, Chavis decided to film themselves, the video of which has since made the rounds on social media.

Smith was furious about the whole filming of the argument as he felt it was a total disrespect to him. He highlighted that what took place between them should have been kept private and the issue should have been settled among themselves. He left their family home after the incident.
