Sophie Cunningham caught the attention of WNBA fans after making a blunt admission during a recent episode of her Show Me Something Podcast, which she co-hosts with West Wilson.
While discussing a cold sore on her lips, Cunningham didn’t dance around it.
“I have herpes. So don’t kiss me,” she said on the podcast.
Her honesty immediately sparked reactions online. Some fans mocked the comment, while others pushed back against the tone of the criticism.
@EmenaIo joked, “I would still risk it not gonna lie. Slap some Vaseline on and it’s go time.”

@SkeetsANC added, “Why is she so proud of her diseased mouth, wearing it like a medal of honour.”
Not everyone joined in on the jokes. @Glitchymagic defended Cunningham’s openness, saying, “Transparency helps break down long-standing stigmas.”
Away from the podcast moment, Cunningham’s basketball future remains uncertain. She’s currently an unrestricted free agent as the WNBA and WNBPA continue working toward a new CBA that would reopen movement around the league. While many expect her to remain in Indiana, other options—both inside and potentially outside the WNBA—are still on the table.
“She’s not getting younger”: WNBA fans speculate on Sophie Cunningham’s latest tease
As the conversation around Cunningham continued, she added fuel to the speculation with a recent post on social media hinting at a potential career move.
“Excited to share some stuff with you guys towards the end of the month,” Cunningham wrote, teasing what could be a significant offseason decision.
WNBA fans quickly jumped into guess mode.
@stephenRB4 asked, “New contract with the Fever?”
@Mateer4Heisman_ went in a different direction, joking, “Hopefully it’s an OnlyFans man PLEASE GOD.”
Meanwhile, @BappahX took a more measured view, saying, “She’s not getting younger, whatever she does will be the right decision.”
Whether Cunningham’s next announcement involves basketball or something entirely different, fans are clearly paying attention—both to what she says and what she chooses to do next.
