Who is Moriah Mills? The porn star threatening to expose sex tapes of NBA star Zion Williamson
Moriah Mills blew up after calling out NBA star Zion Williamson on social media, just after the New Orleans Pelicans power forward announced that he's expecting his first child with his actual girlfriend, Ahkeema, earlier this month.
The highly-rated, two-time All-Star, who came into the league as the first overall pick of the 2019 NBA draft, even threw a gender reveal party with his girlfriend, as they both let it slip that they're expecting a baby girl.
Initially, Mills congratulated Williamson, 22, for soon becoming a father, though her kind words have been long forgotten since then, as she's gone public about details of her rapport with the former Duke man, ripping into him for giving her false hopes of a relationship.
Mills claims that she and Williamson have had multiple sexual encounters, suggesting they have been mainly unprotected. The Pelicans' No. 1 has yet to respond to the allegations, keeping mum about his relationship with Mills, until she decided to offer details of his alleged dual life on Twitter.
Here, DailyMail.com takes a look at Mills' life and who exactly is the woman behind the damaging tweets about one of the NBA's most popular players...

Who is she?
Born in New York City in 1991, Mills, 31, is almost a decade older than Williamson. She was brought up in Queens, and has been working as an adult film actress and social media influencer since 2017, per Sportsmanor.
The X-rated star's name saw a huge 2200 percent spike in PornHub searches since exposing the NBA star online.
Mills is also thought to be earning a living through her OnlyFans account, but also poses in lingerie and swimsuits on her Instagram account, boosting an impressive 350,000 followers.
Before transitioning into the adult film business, she was a 'mainstream model,' per Famous Birthdays.
She also has her own YouTube page with a following of 60k subscribers, sharing her tips and tutorials on makeup to girls.

Is she only an adult actress?
Like many social media influencers out there, Mills is trying to break into the music industry as well, and is a rapper besides offering her services within the adult film business.
However, Mills has yet to really rise to fame through her vocal talent, raking in just 400 to 500 monthly listeners on Spotify, according to the audio streaming platform's statistics.
The model's released three singles: Tonigh, RIO Ride it out and Friends Wit Benny.
Her most popular song to date is RIO Ride it out, which boosts 67,203 listens on Spotify. Tonigh's been played 42,941 times, and Friends With Benny was streamed 4,795 times.'

Why is she calling out Zion? What has been said?
The New Orleans Pelicans star has become embroiled in an ugly public spat with the adult movie star after sharing to the world that he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby girl, leading to Mills continuously shaming him online.
The porn star claimed he had been sleeping with her often and said 'better pray I'm not pregnant too.'
Mills also claimed that she'll release sex tapes of the pair, insisting that she'll take him to court for damages. That was before her account was suspended on Tuesday afternoon.
'NBA I have sex tapes of me and Zion Williamson and he also has them on his trap phone @NBA @PelicansNBA. Trade him now he doesn’t deserve to be in New Orleans !!! Sex tapes dropping soon,' she shared to her 1.1million Twitter followers.
Besides mentioning Williamson in threats shared on Twitter, Mills has also leaked some of her texting conversations with the NBA star

Mills also went public with several screenshots of her alleged conversations via SMS with Williamson. In one exchange in particular, they discuss him sending her money and even offering to book her a flight to Louisiana's largest city.
In the caption accompanying the screenshots, Mills wrote: 'Where is my wire transfer Zion Williamson, you a liar and a cheat where the f*** is my money,' before tagging the Pelicans and urging them to 'trade this fraud'.
In other viral tweets, she claimed 'it's over for you' and that Williamson's 'NBA career light will be dimmed once the sex tapes release.'
Williamson has still yet to comment on the social media frenzy. Earlier in June, he was labeled as a 'sex addict' by another woman named, Yamille Taylor, who also faced a shirtless pic allegedly of the basketball star lying face down.
Will this saga lead to Zion being traded?
Mills' allegations couldn't have come at a worse time for Williamson, with the NBA Draft taking place on Thursday. The Pelicans have drafted in the lottery ever year since selecting Williamson, four years ago.
New Orleans holds the No. 14 pick in the upcoming draft. However, the franchise is said to be left unsatisfied with the 14th pick and its front office is reportedly trying to aggressively trade up before draft night, eyeing the second or third lottery pick instead.
Williamson was also among multiple trade targets that the Portland Trail Blazers have discussed in pre-draft meetings this week with NBA free agency right around the corner. Portland owns the third overall pick in the draft and various outlets rate the likelihood of Williamson being available with degrees of confidence.

ESPN reported Brandon Ingram, but not Williamson, could be dealt, though The Ringer and ESPN said the Blazers could attract the Pelicans' interest if point guard Scoot Henderson, who played in the G League last season, is on the board at No. 3 on Thursday. That would likely mean the top two picks were Victor Wembanyama -- a shoo-in to the Spurs at No. 1 -- and Brandon Miller of Alabama at No. 2. The Charlotte Hornets could pick Henderson second, but they already have LaMelo Ball at the position.
When Williamson is on the floor, he routinely dominates, averaging 25.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game with a few highlight-reel dunks thrown in for good measure.
He turns 24 in July, but finished last season watching from the sideline while dealing with a hamstring injury that originated in January. Williamson's played in only 29 games in 2022-23 and has just 114 games played in his four-year NBA career.
