WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart’s wife hit with vicious anti-gay email: ‘I hope you both die’

An anonymous homophobe sent a vicious anti-gay email to the wife of WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart, and it’s apparently not the first time, The Post has learned.

Stewart’s wife, former pro basketball player Marta Xargay Casademont, walked into the NYPD’s 78th Precinct in Brooklyn on Thursday to report the heinous email, which said, “I hope someone shoots your wife dead, f–k you d—es [sic], I hope you both die,” among other things, police sources said.

Sources added that a memo by NBA security said the email was sent from an Internet address that has been associated with other hateful missives, including death threats, bomb threats and more racist rhetoric.

A rep for Stewart’s team, the New York Liberty, did not respond to a Post request for comment.

Casademont — a 33-year-old retired player who was born in Spain and won the silver medal with the Spanish national team at the 2016 Summer Olympics — married Stewart in July 2021.

The couple has two kids.
