Skylar Diggins is once again in the spotlight on social media, even though the Seattle Storm were eliminated from the 2025 playoffs almost three weeks ago. Fans have kept a close eye on her social media, with her latest post garnering a lot of attention as they try to interpret its meaning.
On Thursday, Diggins shared an Instagram story featuring a clip of staring directly into the camera and saying, “stop playing with me.” It was captioned:
“To whom it may concern.”
The post quickly sparked conversation among fans, with many wondering if there was a deeper message behind her words and who she might have been directing the same to.
“Her ex husband 🤣,” @sariuhhhh wrote.
“she’s like me when someone is trying to play me,” @shyyyyyshytt23 said.
“idk but WE ARE ON HER SIDE,” @fromhalfcourt_ said.
“That ex husband prolly 😭😭😭 you know divorces be long and messy,” @__Jhaee said.
“Cathy,” @justaWfan1 said.
“Well she did just go through a divorce so,” @burg21 wrote.
It’s not clear who Skylar’s message was meant for. But it’s understandable why many fans have assumed that she was taking a shot at her ex-husband, Daniel Smith.
The two first met during their time at the University of Notre Dame, with their relationship beginning in 2014. They tied the knot in 2017, but things eventually fell apart.
They separated on Nov. 1, 2024, with the marriage described as “irretrievably broken.” In March this year, Diggins filed for divorce in King County Superior Court in Washington state.
