Woman Says Sherrone Moore Offered To Fly Her Out To A Game
One of those women Moore communicated with said that the head coach offered to fly her out because she did not live in Michigan. When she found out that Moore was married to his wife Kelli since 2015 and had three children, the woman wondered why Moore would risk it all to pursue her.
She also knew that any interaction between the two would be on the very down low and the prospects of Moore wanting her to be “holed up” somewhere private, like a hotel, didn’t appeal to her.
“I guess we will have to see ! I would say yes but you would also have a driver haha,” Moore allegedly replied.
“We will go into that detail later,” Moore allegedly added.
When the woman asked Moore how many other women he’s offered to fly out, he responded: “none.”
