'Gun shot your family tonight' - Tanner Scott’s wife reveals shocking death threats targeting newborn after Dodgers defeat

Dodgers star Tanner Scott's wife, Maddie Scott, has revealed a series of disturbing death threats directed at the couple's newborn child following the Los Angeles side's recent defeat in MLB. Sharing screenshots of the messages on social media, she condemned the abusive behavior and highlighted the darker side of sports fandom. The threats reportedly came after Scott's performance in the game drew criticism from frustrated fans. Her post quickly gained attention online, with many supporters expressing outrage and calling for greater accountability on social media platforms. The incident has reignited discussions about athlete safety, online harassment, and the impact such behavior can have on players and their families.

Dodgers reliever Tanner took the mound in the eighth inning on Saturday with his team holding a comfortable 3-1 advantage over the Philadelphia Phillies. However, the situation quickly unraveled as Philadelphia mounted a comeback. The turning point came when Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa launched a two-run home run, swinging the lead in favor of the visitors. The Phillies ultimately secured a 4-3 victory, with Scott being charged with the loss. While the disappointing outing was tough on the field, the challenges for the Scott family did not end when the game was over. What began as a frustrating night at Dodger Stadium soon escalated into a far more troubling situation away from baseball.

Following the ordeal, Tanner Scott's wife, Maddie, turned to Instagram to reveal a series of disturbing messages that had flooded her inbox and comment sections. The messages reportedly contained death threats aimed not only at the Dodgers reliever but also at their family, including the couple's newborn child. By sharing screenshots of the abuse, Maddie called attention to the alarming level of harassment directed at athletes' families and highlighted how online backlash can quickly cross the line into threatening behavior.


“When did it stop being a game?” Maddie posted on her Instagram story in reply to a comment from a user who said 'gun shot your family tonight'.

“I don’t speak out often. Ever actually,” she said. “I promise you, you don’t know what it’s like unless you’re living it.”

Maddie later shared another Instagram story with the caption, “The unfortunate reality, in case you were curious,” alongside a screenshot showing six comments posted within just three minutes by the same user, identified as hawk.3112090. The messages contained hateful remarks directed at Tanner and even targeted the couple’s newborn child. By posting the screenshot, Maddie highlighted the disturbing level of online abuse her family has faced in the aftermath of the game.

"Hope this mutt d i e s soon," one of the user’s commented on a photo of the Scotts’ child. Another said "I hope you get home to your family lying in puddles of their own blood."

"Hope it’s a still b i r t h," the user further commented under one of the couple’s photos.
