NHL star Evander Kane fired back at his pregnant, “soon to be ex” wife after she made allegations that he is a gambling addict who went so far as to throw games for profit.
Kane called his estranged wife’s claims “lies” and said the bombshell allegations was her attempt to “jeopardize” his career because the couple is heading for divorce.
The San Jose Sharks star denied the allegations from Anna Kane, whom he referred to as his “soon-to-be-ex-wife” and described as “mentally unwell.”
“I would encourage people to realize that someone who goes to this length to try and jeopardize someone’s career with lies is mentally unwell,” Kane wrote on Twitter.
The NHL star chose to make a public statement against the advice of his legal counsel because he “felt strongly that the public and fans hear this directly from me.”
“I have NEVER gambled/bet on Hockey, NEVER gambled/bet on a Sharks game, NEVER gambled/bet on any of my games and NEVER thrown a hockey game,” Kane stated emphatically.
“I love the game of Hockey and would never do any of what was alleged. I love forward to cooperating with the league’s investigation, having my name fully cleared, and looking forward to this upcoming season,” he added in his statement.
