Cunningham told her Show Me Something co-host, reality star and Complex journalist West Wilson, that this time the fine was for the officiating of Dallas Wings superstar guard Paige Bueckers.
“I love Paige to death, don’t get me wrong,” Cunningham said on the Aug. 13 podcast. “I think she’s a hell of a player and would love to play with her one day, but those refs were giving her every frickin’ whistle last night. Like you literally couldn’t touch her. That’s just so annoying to me.”

“I’m officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA,” Cunningham said on the podcast.
“For this? For the pod?” Wilson asked.
“They didn’t like my comment on Paige Bueckers … I didn’t even say anything bad,” Cunningham said.
Her previous fines were for a TikTok comment about officials and earlier on her podcast.
Cunningham will become a free agent after the season.
