Former NBA star Reggie Miller is denying accusations that he slept with Ali Kay, a woman who is engaged to Alex von Furstenberg, the son of designer Diane.
But the former Indiana Pacers great does admit to flirting … a lot.
This strange love triangle became the talk of the Southern California coast after Alex von Furstenberg hired a small plane to fly over the beaches Saturday.
The plane carried behind it a sign that read, hilariously, “Reggie Miller Stop Pursuing Married Women.” Doesn’t leave much to the imagination, does it?
According to Reggie’s rep, Miller and Ali Kay met at a Malibu supermarket in March. He says the two flirted and spent the rest of the day texting like crazy.
We’re talking more than 50 texts to the other in a six-hour span, a number verified by Reggie’s phone records. Then the rep says Ali Kay – a clothing designer herself – even texted Reggie photos of herself in provocative poses.
Is Reggie Miller coming between Alex von Furstenberg and Ali Kay?
According to Reggie, by April he had enough and took her out of his phone contact list. In May, Ali reconnected with him, wanting to know why he’d closed the door.
Reggie says the next day he got an angry call from Alex von Furstenberg.
Reggie claims von Furstenberg then began a campaign of harassment – calling his friends and even hiring a private investigator to tail Miller personally.
Alex von Furstenberg says he did this because Reggie continued to pursue his fiancee. Reggie says that’s a lie and that he even had to get a restraining order against Alex … who responded by hiring his own lawyer to prepare a counter restraining order.
Over July 4 weekend, there was a telephone call in which Reggie, Alex and the lawyers supposedly buried the hatchet and it seemed everyone moved on.
Until the giant sign flew over the beach, that is. Maybe Whitney Port can get a message to Diane to resolve this once and for all. Everyone loves her.
Reggie Miller is accused – in an unusual manner – of pursuing married women. Note: Alex von Furstenberg and Ali Kay are not actually married. Minor detail.
