WNBA<\/a> superstar Sophie Cunningham has lifted the lid on the shocking moment she was hit by a sex toy thrown from the stands.<\/p>\n

The league spent a week embroiled in controversy after fans repeatedly threw multi-colored sex toys onto various courts, with Indiana<\/a> Fever star Cunningham perhaps the most affected by it when one struck her in the foot.<\/p>\n

She laughed it off in the moment, but has now spoken in depth about the incident, which forced security to be stepped up across the entire WNBA.<\/p>\n

On her new podcast<\/a> alongside influencer West Wilson, Cunningham said: ‘I feel like I brought that onto myself because I tweeted,’ referencing the post in which she told her followers: ‘stop throwing dildos on the court\u2026 you\u2019re going to hurt one of us.’<\/p>\n

\u00a0‘Dude, that tweet got over 40 million views,’ she continued. ‘I tweeted it like, joking, but also a little bit serious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We were playing against LA, I was at the free throw line, the girl shot and then I felt something hit my foot and I thought someone had kicked me or whatever. I looked down and it was a dildo and it scared me, I jumped up and everyone was like, “why are you freaking out?” My mind just wasn’t expecting that.<\/p>\n

Previously, another spectator threw a sex toy onto the court at the Dream-Valkyries game<\/p>\n

‘The game stopped, my train of thought just went… I just got hit by a dildo! It was like a bounce-hit, it scared the s**t out of me. At least it didn’t hit me in the face or anything.’<\/p>\n

To conclude, she insisted: ‘We don’t [support it]. We have to [move on].’<\/p>\n

The controversy now appears to have dried up, with over a week now having passed since one was thrown.<\/p>\n

Multiple fans were arrested for their parts in the prank, and security had to be increased throughout the league, with bags even banned from being allowed into arenas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
