Michael Porter Jr. Denies Madison Pettis' 'Psychopath' Claim in Podcast Interview

The dispute underscores how podcast clips can revive old relationships online.

Overview

  • Porter, speaking on the One Night with Steiny podcast this week, said he was shocked by Madison Pettis' remark and argued their brief dating period was uneventful.
  • Pettis made the claim in March on In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele, describing an ex from his high school and college years without naming him.
  • Porter said they dated for about three months, recalled being 16 or 17 at the time, and said they first connected after a Steph Curry birthday shoutout led Pettis to message him on Instagram.
  • Outlets also reported that internet personality Celina Powell leaked Porter's home address recently, raising privacy and safety concerns unrelated to the dispute.
  • Coverage places the exchange against Porter's career timeline—2018 draft, a 2023 title with Denver, and a trade to the Nets last June—while noting the claims rest on podcast statements without independent verification.
