Chris Bosh, the two-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer, is facing serious allegations from his former personal assistant, Olga Kirpicheva, who has filed a lawsuit claiming the retired Miami Heat star and his wife, Adrienne, subjected her to a toxic workplace and ignored her reports of sexual harassment and assault.
Kirpicheva, 34, worked for the Bosh family from 2017 until 2022, handling childcare, travel arrangements, scheduling, and home management. According to her lawsuit, obtained by The Independent, the work environment quickly became unbearable.
She claims Adrienne Bosh regularly yelled at her, used offensive language, and belittled her in front of others. She also alleges she worked grueling hours, often more than 40 per week, without proper meal or rest breaks as required by California law.
The most disturbing claims center on harassment and assault. Beginning in 2021, Kirpicheva says a relative of the Boshes who was on their payroll repeatedly made sexual advances, including telling her he was “horny,” inviting her to drinks, and physically pressing himself against her for extended periods.
She says she told Adrienne Bosh about the behavior, only for Adrienne to laugh it off rather than take action.
Then, in August 2022, while traveling for Chris Bosh’s basketball camp in Indiana, Kirpicheva says she was sexually assaulted by a camp coach who was a close friend of Bosh.
According to the complaint, the coach came to her hotel room around 1:45 a.m. under the pretext of returning rental car keys, forced his way inside, and assaulted her until she pushed him off and shouted for him to leave.
Kirpicheva claims she repeatedly tried to report the incident to Chris Bosh, but he avoided her attempts. She alleges Bosh “did everything in his power” to maintain ignorance, including refusing to speak with her on multiple occasions during their travels back to Los Angeles.
After resigning from her position, Kirpicheva says the Boshes locked her out of an Austin apartment they had provided her and refused to return her personal belongings, including her passport, Social Security card, and work permit, until she obtained a court order.
During that time, she claims her identity was stolen, leading to fraudulent credit applications and attempts to cash tax refund checks in her name.
The lawsuit, filed in California and moved to federal court on September 11, names Chris and Adrienne Bosh, their company Bosh Enterprises, and up to 50 unnamed defendants. Kirpicheva is seeking compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages, as well as attorneys’ fees.
In their official response, the Boshes denied all allegations. They claim Kirpicheva consented to the conduct she described, engaged in “employment-related misconduct” and “fraud,” and abandoned her belongings in Texas. They also argue that any wage or compensation issues were unintentional.
For Bosh, whose playing career ended in 2019 due to blood clot complications, the lawsuit marks a sharp and troubling turn after years spent largely out of the spotlight.
Neither he nor Adrienne has publicly commented beyond their legal filings, but the case now puts one of the NBA’s most respected former stars under scrutiny for what allegedly happened off the court.
