Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra just signed a historic $120 million contract extension, and many are accusing his newly estranged ex-wife of fiddling with his bag. However, she took exception to the accusations on social media.
“LOL. I'm going to address this comment as having less to do with my personal life choices and more to do with the general thought process that I believe many people have.” Nikki Spoelstra posted on Instagram Story.
“According to the gross, ignorant, uninformed society at large, women cannot ‘win,’” she continued.
“Women can't truly love successful people. No, they're pretending and they're doing it for the money. And if a woman chooses not to be with a successful partner, Obviously she's an idiot,” Spoelstra said. former Heat cheerleader, uttered abusive language.
“And no, I won't ignore it. Years of IgNoRiNg iT (harassment) have disrupted my mental health, and people are becoming more aware of how their words affect others. We need to deeply understand. It's not just me. But people. In general. Be kinder,” she concluded.
The two announced their divorce in November, claiming the divorce was “amicable” and that they were both focused on co-parenting their three young children. They were married for seven years, according to In the Miami Herald.

For me, co-parenting negates the whole bag-searching argument. All signs point to Spoelstra being a stand-up man, so I'm willing to bet that the child support check is large and the Heat coach doesn't default on the payment. I'm sure he values his family.
Nikki, on the other hand, would be better off staying off the internet. Divorce is messy and she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy, but she feels sorry for her, but this is a woman on the internet. People get harassed. It has nothing to do with your gender. The toxicity of the world wide web's most dedicated trolls knows no bounds.
