Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards may be shining on the court, but off it, the rising NBA star is now entangled in a growing legal storm. According to an explosive report by InTouch Weekly, Edwards has been slapped with a paternity and child support lawsuit by his alleged baby mama, Alexandria Descroches, publicly known as Ally D, who is demanding financial support for their one-year-old son.
The drama began in March 2025 when Descroches filed the case in New York, claiming Edwards has failed to provide any child support since the boy’s birth in October 2023. But instead of quietly resolving the matter, Edwards escalated the situation with a surprise legal move of his own, filing a separate paternity suit in the state of Georgia just one week later.
What has followed is a fiery jurisdictional battle, deeply personal allegations, and a chilling accusation that Edwards has never met his son face-to-face.
At the heart of this legal showdown is a dispute over where the case should even be heard. Edwards, who filed in Georgia, insists that the child was conceived in that state and that all of his interactions with Descroches occurred there. His legal team is attempting to establish Georgia as the proper jurisdiction for the case.
But Descroches is calling foul, and she’s not holding back. In her formal motion to dismiss Edwards’ Georgia lawsuit, she attached her original New York filing and argued that their son was likely conceived in Minnesota, not Georgia. She claims that Edwards flew her out to visit him during their relationship while he was playing in Minneapolis and that it was during one of those trips that she became pregnant.
Furthermore, Descroches stated in her court filings that she relocated to New York in February 2024, just a few months after giving birth. From her perspective, New York is now the appropriate jurisdiction, and she’s pushing hard to keep the case there.
Perhaps the most jarring detail revealed in Descroches’ legal documents is the nature of Edwards’ alleged response when she first told him she was pregnant. According to her, the NBA star responded not with concern or support but with a dismissive warning.
“When I told Anthony I was pregnant, his only response was, ‘Don’t be messy,’” Descroches wrote in her court statement.
That statement has struck a chord online, with fans and critics alike dissecting its meaning. Some interpret it as an attempt by Edwards to suppress the news and avoid public scandal. In contrast, others see it as emblematic of a broader issue involving high-profile athletes trying to silence or discredit women who come forward with paternity claims.
Adding fuel to the fire, Descroches also alleges that Edwards has completely distanced himself from their son’s life. In her filings, she claims that the Timberwolves star has not made any effort to visit or even meet the child in person since his birth in October 2023, nearly 18 months ago.
“He has not seen his son. Not once,” Descroches stated bluntly.
The claim, if true, could significantly impact Edwards’ public image, particularly as he continues to ascend as one of the league’s most promising young talents. While his performances on the court have made headlines, this off-court controversy could cast a long shadow over him.
As of now, Anthony Edwards has not issued a public statement about the lawsuit. His legal team has also remained tight-lipped, offering no comment on the ongoing proceedings or the accusations made by Descroches.
Fans of the Timberwolves have taken to social media with mixed reactions. Some have expressed disappointment in Edwards, while others have urged caution until the facts are fully established. Still, the situation remains fluid, with new details emerging.
With dueling lawsuits filed in different states, the first legal battle will likely revolve around jurisdiction, determining where the case will be heard. If the court sides with Descroches and keeps the matter in New York, Edwards could face stricter child support guidelines and potentially more aggressive enforcement. If his Georgia filing is successful, the case may proceed under more favorable conditions for the NBA star.
Regardless of where the case is heard, one thing is clear: the road ahead will be rocky.
In the court of public opinion, Edwards is already facing judgment, and the longer this case drags out, the more scrutiny he’s likely to receive.
