Did Joel Embiid ever ask reality star Olivia Pierson to “be mine”?
After uploading a shot of herself in bed with the Philadelphia 76ers rookie phenom to Instagram on Tuesday, Pierson — best known from her stint on the E! reality series “WAGs” — suggested the twosome could be more than friends with a Valentine’s Day ode to the “hunk.”
“Happy Valentines Day to this hunk @joelembiid Thank you for being you. I’m so proud of you. You are the most loyal person to me in this crazy life! And to me that’s priceless,” Pierson wrote.
The snap garnered nearly 25,000 likes. The 22-year-old Embiid then shot down Pierson’s relationship claims with a scathing message.
“Old news, I’m not trusting this process,” Embiid commented, a reference to the 76ers slogan “Trust the Process.” In addition, Embiid shared Pierson’s photo on his Instagram Story with the hashtag “Fake News.”
Pierson and Embiid have since deleted their posts.
There’s no question the brunette stunner is the NBA stud’s type. Last month, Embiid made a Rex Ryan-like play for model Bianca Ghezzi on Instagram, asking to see her feet. He’s previously been transparent about trying to court pop star Rihanna.
Pierson has been linked to NFL tight end Marcedes Lewis.
