Someone paid to have a banner flown over numerous Southern California beaches last Friday, warning ex-NBA star Reggie Miller to stop chasing married women.
It is not known who is responsible for the banner, but recently Miller did have issues with designer Diane von Furstenburg’s son Alex. Miller had allegedly been strongly pursuing Alex’s fiancée, Ali Kay, almost to the point of stalking.
Miller met Ali at a party last summer and ran into her again in March of this year at a grocery store. He then allegedly waited outside for nearly an hour until she came out. Then he followed her in his car.
He also sent Ali an onslaught of text messages. At one point he sent 53 text messages in an hour. Now if that isn’t stalking, I’m not sure what is. How he got her number in the first place, isn’t known. Not to me at least.
Finally Alex had enough and decided to confront Miller.
He described how Reggie had responded: “He said he had friends with guns. He implied I would get hurt if I didn’t stop questioning him on his inappropriate pursuit of my fiancée and his attempts to subvert his efforts.”
After that, both men’s attorney’s duked it out and came to some sort of an agreement.
Shortley after Mr. von Fursternberg issued a statement saying:
“I was very upset about Reggie’s behavior towards my fiancée. I think people in Malibu share my views that being a famous basketball player should not provide some sort of shield against inappropriate behavior. Reggie sincerely apologized to me on a phone call with Ronald Richards, his attorney, and myself. I cannot comment further on the matter as I believe it has been resolved.”
So, was it Alex von Fursternberg who had the banner made and flown or was it yet another miffed husband? I’m guessing it was Alex. I bet Reggie has popped up once again. There are a lot of professional athletes out there who don’t like to be told no..
Creepy.

Alex Von Furstenberg is responsible, he and his fiance just put a Restraining Order because Reggie was stalking the fiance, 54 txt mess in 3 hours, following her home, the order was granted and if you look at what Reggie did he is one very creepy dude.
The banner? Just a side dish of public humiliation for Miller courtesy of Mr VF.
the document wasn’t filed – before doing so the laywers organized the apology….it was “called off”
Well, Celebrity Smack. Hope you have salt to go with the crow you should be eating for your prematre rush to judge Miller “creepy.” You mentioned his text messages but not the chicks equal number and the photos she sent. Where did he get the number? Obiously, she gave it to him, and even wanted to reconnect after he disconnected.
Alex should be worried about his wandering fiance. And you, Celebrity Smack, deserve your own smack for bad judgesment with limited information.
John, Mmmm, I love crow, especially salted! How thoughtful of you!
And I also like to be smacked, so this works out perfectly!
It’s what I do, doll, I always admit when I am wrong, I don’t try to cover up. I speculate, all the time. And by the way, Reggie Miller IS CREEPY. MY opinion of him has not changed….only her.
