The wife of former Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey denied Ivey’s claims that she was ignoring his texts.
Ivey claimed during one of his recent Instagram Live videos that his wife was not texting him back after the Chicago Bulls waived the guard for conduct detrimental to the team. One day later, Caitlyn Ivey responded on social media disputing that.
“We were communicating all morning of that day,” Caitlyn Ivey wrote on Instagram. “People say things for attention, do not be deceived.”

In a separate post, Caitlyn wrote that she had received threatening messages accusing her of abandoning her husband.
“If you know me you know I have never once abandoned that man through all the trials.. and I still haven’t now,” she wrote. “There is obviously a lot more going on, so leave your conspiracies and guesses to yourselves.”
Ivey has garnered a great deal of attention recently for his concerning behavior on Instagram. The Bulls ultimately released him after he referred to the NBA’s Pride Night initiative was a celebration of “unrighteousness,” and other reports about his unusual behavior have since surfaced.
Ivey and his wife met while attending Purdue together. The couple shares three children.
