Seattle Seahawks 1st round draft pick Byron Murphy II allegedly owes a transgender OF model $15,000. The sex worker took to social media to post receipts and demand payment.
X.com user @msmariahmonay wrote on July 22: “Byron Murphy blocked me off him and fiancé page cause he owe me 15K. Maybe this will get his attention. He play games and played with the wrong one! @Seahawks he likes Trans instead of paying he wanna go viral. Tag him, his finance [sic], team etc.”
Murphy’s rep issued a statement on Friday after the post went viral on X.
Ron Slavin, Murphy’s agent, said his client is a “victim of an extortion attempt from a text conversation that began and ended online.”
“Recently, my client Byron Murphy was the victim of an extortion attempt from a text conversation that began and ended online,” Slavin wrote. “He had no contact with this person. This blackmail scheme has targeted other young players in the league. We have notified the NFL, turned the matter over to the FBI. Anyone involved in this scheme will be prosecuted.”
Murphy, 21, recently proposed to his girlfriend, Maya Hurd.
Murphy was named the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year in 2023. He played college football for the Texas Longhorns. Murphy was selected No. 16 by the Seahawks in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.
Who cares about his sex life that’s not our business

See here’s my thing, what exactly are they expecting to happen? Do you want him to be shamed for his attraction to trans women? Discriminated against?
Because his attraction to whoever should not be the weapon. Owing money for sex? Sure focus on that. But not his attraction.

I don’t care about his attraction at all, calling out the fact he ran off like a loser. Pay your part & move on.
