Ex-wife reacts to ‘fumble the bag’ comment on Spoelstra’s $120M extension

Erik Spoelstra’s former wife finds amusement in the critique suggesting she mishandled financial opportunities, following the announcement of the Miami Heat head coach’s historic eight-year contract extension exceeding $120 million on Tuesday.

On her Instagram Stories, Nikki Spoelstra shared the sarcastic remark about “fumbling the bag” and went on to discuss the toll that years of public scrutiny have taken on her emotional well-being, describing it as a form of ongoing harassment.

“Lol. I’m going to address this comment NOT as it pertains to my personal life choices but as it relates to a general thought process that I believe a lot of people have and that a lot of people have harassed me with over the years,” Nikki stated.

“According to crass, ignorant, uninformed society at large, women can’t ‘win.’

“Women can’t be genuinely in love with someone successful. No, they’re pretending and they’re in it for the money. And if a woman chooses to not be with a successful partner, apparently she’s an idiot.

“And no, I won’t ignore it. IgNoRiNg iT (harassment) for years messed with my emotional health and people need to have a better understanding of how their words can affect other people. Not just me. But people. In general. Be nicer.”
