The scandal swirling around Utah Jazz rookie Kyle Filipowski has taken a dark turn as his mother, Becky Filipowski, finally breaks her silence. Kyle Filipowski’s relationship with his 27-year-old fiancée lies at the center of a rift that isn’t just a typical family feud; it’s a maelstrom of shocking allegations and painful estrangement that has left scars on all sides.
Mormon Grooming or Genuine Love? The Scandal Behind Kyle Filipowski’s Relationship
Becky, a former college basketball player, described her anguish in a heart-wrenching interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. “It feels like a loose wire in my brain,” she confessed. Some days, she finds moments of peace; other days, the pain is unbearable.
Kyle’s relationship with his 27-year-old fiancée, Caitlin Hutchison, has been at the heart of this turmoil. Allegations have surfaced, accusing Hutchison of “grooming” Kyle from a tender age. As shocking as this may seem, Becky now questions the true nature of their bond. The young NBA star, now 20, was selected in the second round of the NBA Draft, with whispers that his controversial relationship led to his first-round snub.
The situation escalated when Kyle’s brother publicly accused Hutchison of “coercive control” and using “Mormon grooming” tactics to manipulate Kyle, a claim Becky finds hard to accept. However, Becky’s initial response to the allegations on social media fueled the fire. In a now-deleted post, she lamented, “This two-year issue… her endgame was clear the moment Kyle left Duke. He was still in high school.”
The tension between mother and son only grew. Becky admitted to voicing her concerns about Hutchison to Kyle’s school authorities and even the Duke basketball staff, only to be met with indifference. “I warned them, but they brushed it off,” Becky revealed, clearly frustrated by the lack of action.
In a shocking twist, Kyle, in a message to his brother, defended his relationship, stating, “I don’t need you trashing me and my relationship. You know nothing about it.” His defiance ultimately led to a heartbreaking email to his mother, cutting her out of his life. “I don’t want you in my life,” Kyle wrote, a sentence that must have felt like a dagger to Becky’s heart.
The Jazz organization, owned by a member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, seems untroubled by the swirling controversy. “We do deep background checks,” said Steven Schwartz, Jazz vice president of basketball strategy. “We’re excited about who Kyle is as a person and have no concerns.”
Despite the public drama, Becky is left grieving over her shattered relationship with her son. As Kyle prepares to start his NBA career, Becky must come to terms with the fact that her son, once her pride and joy, has chosen a path that may never lead him back to her. The pain of this estrangement is palpable, a stark reminder that sometimes, even blood ties can be severed by the tangled web of love and control.
