"Whether she cheated on me and I cheated on her, why are we bringing that to the internet a year later when nobody did anything to anybody? Whether she cheated on me or I cheated on her, that has nothing to do with anybody," Smith said. "Like what? That don't even make sense. And to bring it to the internet a year later, is crazy. Just for fun? That's ridiculous, especially when you're in a happy, healthy relationship."

Smith also criticized Carrington for dragging Kelly and Nye into the public dispute.

"Then, to bring up folks name that has nothing to do with anything. These folks is minding their business. These folks woke up to this s**t on a random Sunday night of these type of allegations," Smith said. "I think that's very weird."

Detailing the in-person confrontation that preceded Carrington's social media outburst, Smith claimed Carrington started an argument that ended with security stepping in.

"Here goes DiJonai. 'You talkin to that b*tch. You talkin to that b*tch.' B*tch this. B*tch that. I'm like 'Why I gotta be a b*tch?' Literally on my grandmother's grave, I'm like 'Damn why I gotta be a b*tch.' That's how the whole thing started," Smith said. "I'm literally like 'Who's a b*tch?' So, then it causes commotion and I'm just like 'Damn now what?' I look like the problem. So, then security come and he's like 'Alright y'all gonna have to leave.' Mind y'all, I'm the victim."

Smith also denied online claims that she showed up uninvited to keep tabs on Carrington.

"I didn't do 'none.' I'm sitting on the couch posting, minding my business. I didn't do nothing to nobody," Smith said. "So, the fact that people are trying to create this narrative of 'Lyss came somewhere uninvited and she came here just to spy on folks. Y'all gotta stop all that lying."

Smith suggested alcohol contributed to Carrington's outburst.

"I guess the liquor, the cameras, her crowd, I guess she got some type of, somebody boosted her up to gain some confidence," Smith said. "But at the end of the day, that was some bulls, t. We came to the spot. Folks was chilling. Nobody did nothing to nobody."

The former Baylor teammates will meet on the court Aug. 1, when Carrington's Sky host Smith and the Aces in Chicago.
