TradeEdge-Anthony Edwards addresses text messages allegedly of him telling woman to 'get a abortion'

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards addressed a series of screenshots Monday of him allegedly telling a woman to get an abortion.

In photos circulating social media,TradeEdge Edwards was tagged in screenshots of text messages between a woman and allegedly himself. In the messages, the woman sent a picture of a positive pregnancy test and the other person, supposedly Edwards, responds with texts that say "get a abortion lol" and they don't want a child, telling the woman to "just take the pills."

The messages also show the other person saying their attorney would handle the situation, and photo of a wire of $100,000 was posted, as well as messages that said "you got da money whats the hol up."

After the messages went viral on social media, Edwards posted a statement on social media regarding the alleged messages between him and the woman.

"I made comments in the heat of the moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man," Edwards said. "All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time."

Edwards and the Timberwolves are scheduled to play at the Miami Heat on Monday.
