Puka Nacua’s Ex Says Podcast Remarks Nearly Drove Her to Suicide

Her July 12 TikTok says a July 2025 episode of The Pivot amplified rumors and worsened her mental health while she pursued paternity and support.

Overview

  • Hallie Aiono posted a TikTok on July 12, 2026, saying comments by Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor about her pregnancy left her depressed and that she "did not want to live anymore."
  • Aiono filed a paternity petition in Los Angeles County on June 16, 2025 seeking confirmation of Puka Nacua’s paternity, primary residence for the child, shared legal decision-making, and payment of pregnancy and legal costs.
  • The July 2025 episode of The Pivot included remarks that questioned Aiono’s character and suggested the child might not be Nacua’s, comments she says amplified headlines while she lacked financial and emotional support.
  • Media reporting later confirmed the child is Puka Nacua’s and Aiono and Nacua have been co-parenting their son, Kingston, who was born in October 2025.
  • Aiono’s public account raises questions about platform responsibility when broadcasters discuss private individuals during legal disputes and could prompt further scrutiny of how sports media handle personal matters.
