The Phoenix Suns have released a statement after CEO Josh Bartelstein , a married family man, was accused of having an affair with former Phoenix Mercury shooting guard Sophie Cunningham . Bartelstein, who also serves as the CEO of the Phoenix Mercury, has been accused of dating Cunningham between 2019 and 2024 during her time with the team. She now plays for the Indiana Fever .
Phoenix Suns shares statementThe Suns have placed the blame on former Phoenix Suns employee Gene Traylor ’s attorney, Sheree Wright, who recently filed a lawsuit against the organization alleging racial discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
The Phoenix Suns’ Senior Vice President of Communications, Stacey Mitch, said in the statement, “The recent reports concerning Josh Bartelstein and Sophie Cunningham are entirely false and morally reprehensible. Let’s be absolutely clear about the origin of these claims. Attorney Sheree Wright, a personal injury and immigration lawyer, currently serving a two-year probation with the Arizona State Bar for violating the rules of professional conduct, sees an opportunity because of the reports about previous ownership.”
“Ms. Wright has now filed four separate lawsuits against the organization, seeking over $140 million dollars in compensation. To date, her cases have been dismissed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Arizona Civil Rights Division or voluntarily withdrawn. She continues to insert salacious lies and fabrications into her complaints—knowing that the media may report them as fact, as happened yesterday—she hopes to coerce the Phoenix Suns into settling.”
“Sheree Wright will not extort our organization and never see a single dollar. We will pursue all available legal avenues and hold those accountable for participating in the spread of misleading and false narratives,” she added.
Sophie Cunningham recently suffered an ankle injury in the WNBA season opener, and there is currently no word on her return. The 28-year-old was selected as the thirteenth (13th) overall pick of the 2019 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury. She was traded to the Indiana Fever in January this year.
