During Kings Media Day, reporters were caught on a live microphone talking about Ben Simmons and Zach LaVine. Instead of breaking down their games, the conversation turned personal, with comments about the players’ looks and personalities.
Former Sacramento Kings star DeMarcus Cousins claimed he felt "violated" by local media during his rookie season, speaking out following a recent hot-mic controversy during Kings Media Day. Appearing on Gil's Arena, Cousins alleged that former Sacramento Bee reporter Ailene Voisin once lifted his shirt to examine his body and heavily fixated on his weight throughout his early career.
Cousins stated that when he reported the incident to the Kings front office at age 19 or 20, officials told him to ignore it. The four-time All-Star voiced hope that team leadership handles the recent hot-mic incident professionally, calling for greater accountability regarding how Sacramento media treats players.
