Ex-NBA superstar Joe Smith has left his family home following his wife's announcement of her OnlyFans account.
The news comes from Smith's wife of five years Kisha Chavis, who told TMZ that her husband has been 'pretty p****** off' with her since she let slip about the adult account.
In a video that went viral, the ex-basket baller, who'd played for 12 NBA teams during his 16-year career, can be seen facing away from his wife who was filming, saying he can't believe she has an account on the platform known for producing adult content.

Chavis, who was recording the now viral video, picked up the camera and walked away saying: “Okay, I have an OnlyFans page and he is mad because he is just now finding out about it.”
She continues: “But I'm not doing it with anybody but myself so why should I have to tell you? My choice, my body. My body, my f***ing choice.
“Joe I have been talking to you about mad things, I've been asking for a solution for s***, you not giving me one so I created one."
Smith expresses his discontent with the idea by saying: "That's no solution. Not in my book."
To which Chavis responds: "You knew who the f*** I was when you met me,” alluding to her career as an adult star before the pair married.
However, since the video, Chavis has revealed that the pair are no longer on speaking terms, and Smith is believed to be staying at his sister's house.
Chavis confessed that she originally set up her OnlyFans account to help the pair through a financial struggle following the pandemic.
Chavis told TMZ: 'I'm just sorry that he can't understand that [...] it wasn't a selfish decision. It was a decision that I made. I made an executive decision when my man wasn't taking the lead. I really love Joe."
When asked whether divorce could be on the cards, she said: "You know, if that's what it has to be, that's what it has to be," adding: "But, I don't think we'll have a divorce, I don't think so. I think he'll come around."
It's unclear whether the couple have made up yet.
This isn't the first time a celebrity has turned to OnlyFans for extra dough, though. Amongst them are Cardi B, who announced that she'd joined the platform back in September 2020 on Twitter and received 40,000 likes.
