Two of the Internet’s favourite Spurs fans will not be in attendance at Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Friday night.
OnlyFans models Blue and Julie J. Swan – who have stolen some of the spotlight from the team after sitting behind San Antonio’s bench – say they will be skipping the game after being harassed at previous playoff games.
The two fans who have gone viral on social media say their experience attending games “has greatly shifted” since they claim they were verbally and physically accosted at the arena.
“I had a lot of anxiety, and I still do thinking about going to a game,” Swan told the New York Post on Thursday. “Because what if they do that again? Or what if there’s other people that will do that?
“It put that fear and anxiety in my mind. It’s like a stadium full of people. You don’t know who’s there. We had no idea that this was even possible at a game at this level of importance.”
In a video posted by Blue on X last week, a man is shown calling it “disgraceful” that the women were sitting in the prime seats. He also is seen touching her on the shoulder and arm after she allegedly told him not to.
“Man sitting courtside comes up trying to talk to us, then starts touching me AFTER I told him to NOT touch me several times,” she wrote with the clip.
Swan told the outlet that the incident had “lingered in the back of my mind” since it occurred.
She also claimed that a couple with the man in the video later accosted them as they were leaving the game.
“It was too much. I was pretty upset leaving, just sitting in my car afterward,” Swan said. “Trying to let the adrenaline die down, and I did end up crying because I felt very unsafe at the stadium. I don’t know, it was a lot.”
The women’s manager told the Post that although arena security at Frost Bank Center was notified, the group were allowed to stay in their seats after being spoken to.
The Spurs did not respond to a request for comment from the Post over the alleged incidents.
Who are the Spurs fans who went viral?
Swan and Blue began appearing behind the Spurs bench during the team’s Western Conference final against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The pair were spotted behind Spurs coach Mitch Johnson on TV and their low-cut tops made them instant viral stars on social media.
The two returned for Game 4 of the series and then Game 6, driving followers on social media wild each time.
The pair also earned attention from the media and former players, and were seen taking photos with stars including Charlies Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.
However, just because they won’t be in attendance for Game 2 doesn’t mean that the ladies won’t be cheering on their team from home.
“I still love the Spurs so very much,” Swan said. “I wish that it could be different, and I wish that this had never happened, so that I could still have that fairytale moment going to these, to these games. It just makes me really sad.”
