Zion Williamson missed a significant chunk of the season for the New Orleans Pelicans and has been dealing with explosive off-court drama in the last week.
His involvement with a pornstar, Moriah Mills, has been causing headlines after she leaked DMs from Zion, claiming that he cheated on her with his to-be baby momma, Akheema. As the saga continues to rage on though, a lovely off-court charity move by Zion has gone viral.
“Zion Williamson has partnered with Jefferson Parish to help with their Summer Bridge program,” NBA reported Andrew Lopez tweeted. “Also, the Zion Williamson Foundation has donated $250,000 to the school system to help with uniform costs for children who have to attend new schools because of consolidations.”

This piece of news has gone viral on Reddit, and while it is commendable, a lot of the conversation seems to be about how this is potentially a PR move.
The jokes didn’t stop there, with the announcement leading one fan to jokingly ask how many partners Zion has.
Zion Williamson isn’t the only young superstar dealing with image issues, Ja Morant is in a mess of his own. And one fan pointed out that Morant can learn a thing or two from Zion when it comes to handling controversy.
And while many were making jokes at his expense, one fan pointed out that Zion isn’t just doing this for PR and that he has a track record of being very charitable.
Zion Williamson has blossomed into a true star on the court, he averaged 26.0 points and 7.0 rebounds in 29 games last season. The New Orleans Pelicans were a top contender in the West when he was healthy, even though he was unable to stay on the court for a long time. This whole drama will likely only go away if and when he’s able to perform on the court again next season.
A Timeline Of Zion Williamson’s Scandal Including Moriah Mills’ Consistent Revelations
Zion Williamson was perceived as a quiet but nice individual off the court, and most of the NBA world was happy for him when he announced the impending birth of his child with Akheema. However, pornstar Moriah Mills went viral on Twitter accusing Zion of cheating on her. And this caught the attention of the media, with Stephen A. Smith going off at Zion. There were reports that the Pelicans were furious with him too.
If people thought that would be the end of it, they were wrong. Mills went on to reveal she might be pregnant too, while another woman called Zion out on social media for being a s*x addict. Moriah Mills continued her crusade, leaking DMs from Williamson and revealing details about his personal life. Zion’s family has defended him, but the damage to his reputation seems to be done.
In a moment like that, Williamson donating to help out school kids in Louisiana is some necessary good press for him. His $193 million contract kicks in this coming season, so $250,000 is a small part of that which might go a long way in helping him repair his image.
