"There will be things forthcoming"- Mom of Kyle Filipowski's 7-years-older girlfriend Caitlin Hutchison breaks silence on grave allegations
Kyle Filipowski's now-estranged family reportedly accused his 27-year-old girlfriend, Caitlin Hutchison, of 'coercing control' and 'scheming' to entrap the 20-year-old rising star over a span of five years. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Caitlin's mother, Amanda Hutchison, spoke out for the first time about the allegations that her daughter 'groomed' the former Duke star since he was in high school.
‘There will be things forthcoming,’ Amanda said (per DailyMail).
She further added that the couple is laying low amid the accusations.
'What we’ve always said to the kids is, for everything that’s good, if you have faith at all there will be adversaries, there's always a negative for every positive,' Amanda said (per DailyMail). 'So it's how we weather those storms.'
This came after Kyle Filipowski's unexpected drop during the 2024 NBA Draft last week. The 7-foot center was anticipated to be a first-round pick by all accounts, however, he was picked 32nd overall by the Utah Jazz in the second round of the draft.
ESPN's Jonathan Givony linked the draft slide to 'off-court goings on' regarding Filipowski's girlfriend, which triggered a wave of accusations from the rookie's family.
‘You are opening a two year issue… and she is 28 with an endgame three years ago to have a diamond ring on her hand when Kyle left Duke. HE WAS STILL IN HS,' Kyle's mother Rebecca responded to Givony's comments on X.
Kyle Filipowski's family claims that Caitlin Hutchison cost him a better landing spot in the NBA Draft
Kyle Filipowski got engaged to his girlfriend, Caitlin Hutchison, seven years his senior, in April this year. The age gap may have been a concern to franchises interested in the lifestyle of young players. Moreover, Filipowski's family alleges that the relationship began when he was a minor.
Kyle and Caitlin's parents were reportedly very close at one point, which led their kids to view each other as 'family'. The Filipowskis claimed that Caitlin exploited the closeness and ensnared the young man due to his height and talent, and how that would qualify for the broad economic possibilities that he will have as an NBA player.
Moreover, Kyle Filipowski's mother and brother posted on X that Caitlin introduced the Jazz rookie away from his entire family to introduce him to the Mormon faith and its practices. Kyle's brother Daniel shared a series of posts on X that explained their claim regarding the matter.
"I’m Kyle’s oldest brother..you all don’t have a clue of the extent of the story that has to do with his girlfriend. There’s a story that has been pushed under the table for nearly two years now," Daniel tweeted.
The couple have not publicly responded to any of the claims yet and appear to be laying low amid the controversy.
