Megan Thee Stallion Recounts the Physical and Mental Toll of Klay Thompson Breakup
The artist shared that the relationship's abrupt end led to significant health issues, including anxiety and loss of appetite.
Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out about the severe physical and mental health struggles she experienced following her breakup with NBA player Klay Thompson. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, the artist described the period as one of the most challenging of her life, detailing the abrupt nature of the split and its lasting impact.
The breakup reportedly occurred around the time Megan Thee Stallion was performing in a "Moulin Rouge!" show. She recalled breaking down in tears on stage shortly after publicly accusing Thompson of infidelity via an Instagram story. These performances were later halted as she dealt with what she described as "scary medical issues" stemming from physical and mental exhaustion.
"I'm not pretending I'm 100 percent okay," Megan Thee Stallion stated in the interview, reflecting on the breakup. "I ain’t never been through nothing like that in my whole life. I’ve never, ever, ever been in a relationship like that, ever. So I’m definitely not worried about another one for a long time… It was so abrupt. I’m in shock still."
She further explained the physical consequences, noting she was not eating properly and was dehydrated during that period. This state of being made her feel "mentally not okay" and contributed to her nervous system being constantly on edge. "I feel like I was in a panic 24/7. I’m still not eating all the way right. I’m feeling all the feelings. I’m not trying to take no shortcuts,” she added.
Megan Thee Stallion suggested that a healthy relationship should feel easy and not cause constant panic. She emphasized that her experience with Thompson was characterized by feeling "constantly on edge" and in a perpetual state of panic.
Thompson, who recently signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Miami Heat, was the subject of Megan Thee Stallion's public accusations of infidelity. The artist indicated that she is still processing the shock of the relationship's end and is not rushing into any new romantic entanglements.
