Mulkey then alleged the reporter advised former coaches and “disgruntled” gamers beneath Mulkey that the Washington Post was working together with her on a story in order to get responses.
“This is exactly why people don’t trust journalists and the media anymore,” Mulkey stated. “I’m fed up and I’m not going to let the Washington Post attack this university, this awesome team of young women I have, or me without a fight.”
She then stated she employed defamation attorneys and can file a swimsuit if the Washington Post “[publishes] a false story” about her.
