A famous basketball legend has been given a very public dressing down.
A banner warning ex-NBA star Reggie Miller off married women was flown over several southern California beaches this weekend.
It is not known who forked out for this expensive warning but it comes after Miller allegedly pursued his neighbour Ali Kay - who is engaged to designer Diane von Furstenburg's son Alex.
According to a restraining order, that was never filed, Miller, who played for the Indiana Pacers, met Ms Kay at a party in July last year.
In March of this year he then bumped into her at a grocery store, then waited outside for an hour until she left, before following her up a motorway.
Allegations: Former NBA basketball player Reggie Miller
He also allegedly harassed her by phone, including sending her 53 text messages over the course of less than four hours.
According to the document, when confronted by Mr von Furstenberg, who owns a surf shop in Malibu, Miller turned threatening.
'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 fiancee and his attempts to subvert his efforts,' Mr von Furstenberg wrote.
The matter seemed to have ended when each party's lawyers got involved, and 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 behaviour.
'Reggie sincerely apologised 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.'
But despite the matter being apparently resolved, the banner appeared over the beach on Friday afternoon.
Was it from another disgruntled husband?
