Luke Walton accuser posts video to thank supporters after ‘roller coaster of a week’

Kelli Tennant, the former sports reporter who has accused Sacramento Kings coach Luke Walton of sexual assault, released an Instagram video Friday thanking friends, family and strangers for being supportive during what has been a tough week.

The 31-year-old podcaster and women’s self-help advocate posted the video three days after she and her attorney held a dramatic news conference accusing Walton of pinning her down on a bed in a Santa Monica hotel room five years ago, forcibly kissing her and rubbing against her.

“I thought he was going to rape me,” she said at the Los Angeles press conference.
