Two of the Spurs’ most visible fans will not be in their seats for Game 2 of the NBA Finals after an incident at a previous playoff contest left them so shaken that it “has greatly shifted” their experience going to games.
OnlyFans models Blue and Julie J. Swan were involved in an incident in which they allege they were verbally accosted by several fans during Game 6 of the Western Conference finals. One fan allegedly grabbed Blue during an exchange captured on video and posted on social media.

While the two women were at Game 1 of the NBA Finals, their comfort level has changed, and they will not attend Game 2 from their courtside seats behind the Spurs bench.
“I had a lot of anxiety, and I still do thinking about going to a game,” Swan told The Post in a phone interview Thursday. “Because what if they do that again? Or what if there’s other people that will do that? It put that fear and anxiety in my mind; it’s like a stadium full of people. You don’t know who’s there. We had no idea that this was even possible at a game at this level of importance.”
Swan said that the incident had “lingered in the back of my mind” since she’s been back at Frost Bank Center.

Blue originally shared the brief clip on May 29, but it gained traction on Thursday after she reshared it, potentially connecting the man in the video to a fan who was possibly involved in an incident with Jalen Brunson at the end of Game 1.
In the video, the man can be heard telling Blue that it was “disgraceful that you sit like that” while pointing his finger toward her. He allegedly put his hand on Blue, which prompted her to tell the individual not to touch her.
Swan alleged that another man and a woman, who were both with the first man, also started with them while they were taking pictures near the court, with the woman making bunny ears behind one girl. When the OnlyFans models were about to leave, the other male allegedly accosted them.

Swan alleges that the man called them “chopped,” which is a slang term for calling someone ugly, repeatedly, as they were leaving.
“It was too much. I was pretty upset leaving, just sitting in my car afterward,” Swan said. “Trying to let the adrenaline die down, and I did end up crying because I felt very unsafe at the stadium. I don’t know, it was a lot.”
James B., who identified himself to The Post as the manager for Swan and Blue, said arena security was notified, but there wasn’t much of an initial response at first.
The group was initially talked to and allowed to remain in their seats.
Following the latter incident during the conference finals, security became more involved, but James said the alleged agitators left quickly before security could do anything.

Security escorted both women to their seats at the NBA Finals and assured that nothing would happen again.
The Spurs did not return requests for comment over the alleged incidents from The Post.
Swan and Blue have gained internet fame during the Spurs’ playoff run as eagle-eyed basketball fans took notice of the women behind the team bench. The two even shared photos of themselves with NBA legend Charles Barkley, who has previously made unfavorable comments about women from San Antonio.
While the whole incident has put a cloud over the fun Swan would have had at the games she attended, she said she’ll still be turning into Game 2 on Friday.

“I still love the Spurs so very much,” she said. “I wish that it could be different, and I wish that this had never happened, so that I could still have that fairytale moment going to these, to these games. It just makes me really sad.”
