DeWanna Bonner Comes to Defense of Dijonai Carrington During Caitlin Clark Eye-Gouge Drama — WTF! (NH)
In a jaw-dropping twist that’s sending shockwaves through the WNBA fandom, DeWanna Bonner has leapt to the defense of her fiancée, Dijonai Carrington, amid the explosive Caitlin Clark eye-gouge drama — and fans are seriously divided.
It all began during a heated matchup between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever, when video footage surfaced that appeared to show Carrington’s fingers dangerously close to Clark’s eyes during an aggressive drive to the basket. Social media lit up like wildfire, with some calling it “deliberate,” while others dismissed it as “just part of the game.”
But just when things were spiraling out of control, DeWanna Bonner, a WNBA legend and five-time All-Star, took to Instagram Stories and Twitter/X to break her silence in the most unapologetic way.
“You don’t mess with my girl. Y’all love to spin narratives when it’s convenient. Dijonai plays hard. Always has. But dirty? Nah. Stop the BS.”
Fans quickly rallied around Bonner’s post, praising her loyalty and the power couple’s unshakeable bond. But others weren’t buying it.
“We saw what we saw. That wasn’t ‘playing hard’—that was reckless,” one commenter wrote. “If Caitlin Clark had done that to Dijonai, the entire league would be up in flames.”
The controversy has reopened larger conversations about bias, media protection, and racial undertones in WNBA coverage. Many critics argue that Caitlin Clark, the breakout rookie phenom with a record-breaking college career, has been overly protected by officials and the press — while Black and queer players face harsher scrutiny for similar or lesser behavior.
As the league tries to capitalize on its rising popularity, moments like this are turning into cultural flashpoints.
While Clark has not publicly commented on the alleged eye-gouge, Fever head coach Christie Sides addressed the incident post-game:
“We want Caitlin to be safe, of course. But we also want her to be tough. This league isn’t easy — nor should it be.”
Carrington, for her part, posted a cryptic tweet hours later:
“Same story, different season.”
Now, fans are picking sides, and the league office has yet to comment on whether Carrington will face a fine or suspension. But one thing is clear: this drama is far from over.
With Caitlin Clark drawing both admiration and ire, and Bonner and Carrington standing strong together, the 2025 WNBA season just became must-watch chaos.
Stay tuned — this feud might only be getting started. 👀🔥
