Celeste Keaton Ambushes Teen Girls — WNBA’s Shameful Five-Game Slap [FxI6YeW4uC9]
Celeste Keaton owns part of the Seattle Storm, and on July 28, 2026, she used that power to verbally attack two 14-year-old girls until one broke down crying. The WNBA handed her a secret fine and a five-game home suspension — and now Sophie Cunningham is making sure nobody forgets it. On July 28, 2026, during a Storm-Fever game at Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton approached two 14-year-old girls sitting courtside, called them insane with profanity, and told them she hoped Jesus would forgive them for their sin. The confrontation, witnessed by independent journalist Brandi Kruse, left at least one teenager in tears. The WNBA fined Keaton an undisclosed amount and suspended her from the Storm’s next five home games. On July 30, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham called the owner’s behavior “truly embarrassing” and announced she would send gifts to the teens. The girls were wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts and holding signs supporting Cunningham, who had recently stated in an ESPN profile that biological women and girls deserve protection in sports. A small demonstration outside the arena before tipoff had no connection to the Fever organization. Keaton has not personally apologized, and the league has not revealed the fine.
