Kai Jones spotted with new female companion, months after explosive outbursts on Instagram
Kai Jones, the LA Clippers player, has been out of the media spotlight for quite some time now. The former Charlotte Hornets player has been putting his life together away from public view since his emotional outburst on social media in September last year. Amidst these changes, Jones was recently seen with a female companion.
In his latest post on his X (formerly Twitter), Jones posted a picture with a woman. He was seen wearing a black hoodie, while the woman was seen wearing a floral swimsuit in the picture.
Jones also posted the same picture on his Instagram, tagging his female friend, who goes by the name Freya Lodge on her account and has 4,212 followers.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Jones has posted about the mystery woman. Jones and Lodge regularly post pictures with each other on their social media.
Last month, Jones posted a video on Instagram, where he is seen kissing Lodge. Last year, she had also posted a picture with Jones on her IG account and captioned it with a heart emoji.
Last yea, Kai Jones had an outburst during a live video. In the video, he spoke ill of his then-team, the Hornets, and said that he was going to demand a trade. He also seemed to be under the influence and talked incoherently, sometimes mumbling in the video.
Kai Jones talks about therapy after outburst on social media
Since his outburst on Instagram Live, Kai Jones has been trying to get a grip on his life and his career. A promising star in the league, Jones once seemed to be slipping away but the NBA Players Association intervened.
After joining the Clippers last season, Jones told Tomer Azarly that he was taking therapy twice a week and wanted to get back on the NBA court as soon as possible.
"I want to thank the NBPA. They stepped in and played a major role in my off-the-court development program, where I was doing therapy two times a week to get me ready to get back into this professional environment so I could adjust in the right way and get me ready for the FIBA AmeriCup, too," Jones said.
"Yes, sir. I hope I'm allowed to say that, but yeah, I plan to continue [doing therapy]," he added. "I think it's great for my brain and my development as a person and professional, and just learning how to navigate this life."
Kai Jones signed with the LA Clippers this offseason. Despite having signed with the team, Jones' contract doesn't make him a part of the regular season roster, until the Clippers choose to include him. It is yet to be seen if Jones will be a part of their roster or go back to the G-League.
