Hallie Aiono<\/a>, ex-girlfriend of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua<\/a>, said she is \u201chealing\u201d after false allegations about her personal life, including from ESPN\u2019s Ryan Clark, nearly drove her to suicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was trying to figure out how I was going to bring my son into the world, three grown men decided to use my life as entertainment,\u201d Aiono, 25, said in a video via TikTok<\/a> on Sunday, July 12. \u201cA year ago from today, three retired, old NFL guys decided to talk about me on their podcast and talked about me in a very disgusting and viral way. They painted me as this slut, this whore.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWhat they didn\u2019t know and what the world didn\u2019t know, was behind the headlines. I wasn\u2019t receiving the financial, emotional, physical support that I needed\u2026I opened my phone at 3 am to see this podcast and I will never forget that moment. To be so honest, I am surprised that I am even here. I did not want to live anymore. Watching these men use their very public platform to talk about me in such a terrible way\u2026watching this podcast just amplified the rumors and the headlines about me was very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aiono is referring to \u201cThe Pivot\u201d podcast, hosted by Clark and cohosts Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. During an episode last July, the trio discussed the paternity petition that Aiono had filed against Nacua, 25, seeking confirmation that he was the biological father \u2014 something she previously said she never doubted \u2014 and seeking custody while giving Nacua visitation rights.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua checked into rehab during an embattled year for the NFL superstar. Nacua, 24, \u201cvoluntarily entered a holistic care facility to focus on his personal growth\u201d in early March, according to a statement from Nacua\u2019s attorney, Levi McCathern, obtained by NFL Network on Wednesday, April 1.\u00a0 McCathern said Nacua [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

She and Nacua welcomed son, Kingston, in October 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you were in it for the money, you had one job,\u201d Clark, 46, said on the podcast. \u201cThe one job you had was to not have sex with somebody else\u2026And you couldn\u2019t wait. So for Puka Nacua, congrats, man. I pray that\u2019s not your baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crowder, 42, meanwhile, questioned whether Aiono knew who the father was and suggested Nacua escaped a \u201cfinancial trap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us Weekly has reached out to all three cohosts for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose eight minutes that those guys decided to talk about me became a very significant part in the darkest part of my life,\u201d Aiono said. \u201cBecause of this experience, I have recognized even more so now watching people online talk so freely about people that they have no clue what they\u2019re going through and who they actually are. It\u2019s chasing views and clicks and exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then reiterated that she never cheated during her relationship with Nacua and that talking about her ordeal \u201cis healing a part of me that I didn\u2019t know it would.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aiono ended her video with a message for Kingston.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething I want my son to always know is how hard I fought for him, how important he is to me, and how special he is to me, and how worth it he is and how worthy he is,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so glad that after I post this video, I just get to go to bed. Happily. With my son in the other room, sleeping so great. I am so lucky. And even though I still have my dark days and I still have to go through a lot of bulls***, I\u2019m here and my son is here.\u201d<\/p>\n
