Jemele Hill deletes scathing old Caitlin Clark post after stalker’s arrest

Jemele Hill is once again in the crosshairs of critics after the columnist, podcaster and sports media personality allegedly deleted an unfortunate Caitlin Clark post on X after the arrest of her alleged stalker.

‘I don’t like to play the oppression Olympics but…has CC had to delete her social media accounts?’ Hill wrote in September on X. ‘No, but her teammate Aliyah Boston did.’

At the time, Hill was making a point about Clark’s treatment as the face of the league compared to her WNBA teammates and rivals, many of whom are African Americans. Clark, Hill has argued, has done everything other WNBA players do, only without becoming a target for criticism.

‘CC has given out a few hard shots herself, talked trash, jawed with the refs, and yet anytime she is subjected to physical play, a hard foul, or trash talk, opposing players are absolutely villainized,’ Hill continued.

‘She is not constantly subjected to racial slurs, and whatever hate she does experience, she is not told to toughen up or that her feelings don’t matter. She is not subjected to both sides-ism, nor are people trying to justify any hatred against her.’

Now, after a man accused of stalking Clark has been arrested in Indianapolis, that post is nowhere to be seen on Hill’s X page. DailyMail.com’s attempts to contact Hill have been unsuccessful.

The man arrested for allegedly stalking Clark declared himself ‘guilty as charged’ in a bizarre scene at Tuesday’s opening hearing in Indianapolis.

Michael Thomas Lewis, 55, showed erratic behavior and delivered several outbursts, including his demand to be held accountable for his alleged crimes. At one point he told the courtroom to ‘throw me the booky.’

Later, though, Lewis claimed ‘you got the wrong guy’ after he noticed the there was no ‘Jr.’ attached to his name in the court records.

Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit and black sandals at the hearing, Lewis was repeatedly warned to stop interrupting the proceedings. Given his behavior, Marion County Superior Court Judge Angela Davis submitted a not-guilty plea on Lewis’ behalf.

Lewis was charged with stalking – a Level 5 Felony – after targeting the 22-year-old Indiana Fever star with a series of disturbing posts on X over the past month. According to the charges, Lewis ‘terrorized, frightened, or threatened’ Clark, causing her ‘reasonable fear of sexual battery.’

He was ordered to be held in lieu of a $50,000 and told if he does find a way to come up with that money to gain his release, he will need to stay in Indiana and wear a GPS monitor.

Lewis, however, claimed he’s not interested in freedom.

‘I don’t want bond, bail, whatever,’ he said. ‘I’m here. I’m staying.’

Gavin Uitvlugt, Lewis’ court-appointed defense attorney, declined comment after the hearing.

According to Fox59 News anchor Angela Ganote, Indianapolis officers first talked with Lewis on January 8 after discovering that the messages were coming from IP addresses in the city while he was staying at a hotel on N. Market Street.

He is said to have told cops that he was in an ‘imaginary relationship’ with the women’s basketball sensation before continuing to send her sexually threatening messages, leading to his eventual arrest over the weekend.

Lewis’s X account indicates that he began writing to Clark on December 16, with his initial posts appearing a lot more innocent despite making little sense.

He then posted on December 27: ‘this fantasy caitlin relationship is changing me for the better. . And about an hour ago i felt strong caitlin feelings. .like sensual. .wow’.
