Stephon Marbury’s Mistress Now Seeking His Assets

Stephon Marbury, former NBA star who will forever be known as the guy who signed a contract promising to pay his mistress $900,000 to keep quiet about their affair, just cannot get out of his own way.

Thuravyah Mitcheel was hired to cook for Marbury, his wife and kids, but began serving up more in a sexual relationship with the former all-star. Now she’s preparing for a bigger dish. After taking Marbury to court, suing and winning the $300,000-plus he had not paid, one would think Marbury would pony up and fade away, hoping time would help diminish fans’ memories of his notorious blunder.

Instead, Marbury has refused to pay the balance a judge ruled Mitcheel was owed, and so the former personal chef–who has shown she’d stop at nothing to get what she believed she was entitled to–has sued the former point guard for assets to make up for the money he has refused to pay.

Seriously.

Now, according to TMZ, Mitcheel is calling for a few of Marbury’s  luxury cars to settle the “debt,” including a Mercedes Benz and Land Rover. She has asked him to liquidate some of his other assets to pay off the remaining $331,584.50.

Once one of the game’s most dynamic playmakers, Marbury’s crafty moves clearly were limited to the basketball court. The judge will hear the new filing on June 17. Another defeat would be hard for Marbury to swallow, although he would have only himself to blame.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
