Kelli Tennant Previous Husband, Relationships, and Fiance Amir Nick Ekbatani
Kelli Tennant is the former fiancé of previous UCLA offensive lineman Amir “Nick” Ekbatani. After his 2012 motorcycle accident in Redondo Beach, CA where he lost a part of his left leg, Ekbatani required the constant care of his fiancé.
Tennant later broke up with him due to the number of hospital trips she had to make for Ekbatani’s surgeries which resulted in her not able to get a job.
They began dating in the summer of 2012, a couple of years after each had graduated. Their courtship had consisted of only a handful of dates before Ekbatani’s motorcycle was broadsided by a taxi that crushed his left leg and led to amputation below the knee.
Kelli Tennant Sexual Assault Accusation Against Luke Walton
In 2017, Tennant sued Luke Walton for a Sexual Assualt that allegedly happened in 2017. Walton has been accused of pinning Tennant to the bed in her hotel room and forcing himself on her in California in May 2017. Tennant, who had reportedly known Walton for years, had asked Walton to come to her room to assist her with a book she was working on.
In legal docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Kelli Tennant claims — while Walton was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors — he asked her to come meet him at his Santa Monica hotel to drop off a book she had published. Walton worked for the Warriors until April 2016, when he left to become the head coach of the Lakers. She says the 2 had a business relationship that went back several years and that’s why she had asked him to write a foreword in her book.
In the suit, Tennant says when she arrived at Walton’s hotel, he convinced her to come up to his room so they could “catch up.” She claims when they got up to his room, Walton suddenly pinned her to the bed, placing his hips and legs over her body.
In the docs, Tennant claims Walton then began forcing kisses on her neck, face and chest. She claims she screamed for him to stop and tried to free herself, but he held her down, groped her breasts and groin, and rubbed his erection on her leg.
She says he eventually relented and let her get up from the bed, but as she was walking towards the door to leave he grabbed her from behind and again forced his body up against hers.
Tennant claims when Walton finally released his grasp, she opened the door and left, but could hear him say, “Good to see you.”
Tennant claims she did not initially report Walton’s conduct but was forced to continually interact with him because of her job. She says each time she saw him, Walton would impose himself on her with a big hug or a kiss, even though she thought she made it clear his advances were unwanted.
In the suit, Tennant claims in May 2017 — while Walton was the head coach of the Lakers — Walton greeted her by uttering, “vulgar, guttural sounds at her” and said, “mmmm … you’re killing me in that dress.” She says he then forced an aggressive hug on her and rubbed his body against hers.
It’s unclear, based on the docs, what finally prompted Tennant to come forward with her allegations.
Luke recently left his position as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and is now coaching the Sacramento Kings.
Meanwhile, Luke Walton’s wife Bre Ladd is yet to comment on the matter.
