Supports. The AP reports that Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was fined and suspended from attending the team's next five home games.[1]
Supports. Reuters reports that Keaton has been part of the Storm's ownership group since 2024, and that Storm majority owner Ginny Gilder referred to 'one of our co-owners' in a statement.[2]
Supports. Lead Stories fact-checks the Cunningham hoax and identifies Celeste Keaton as 'a co-owner of the Seattle Storm basketball team.'[3]
Context. Yahoo and Sporting News describe Keaton as the wife of co-owner Lisa Brummel and therefore a co-owner herself, while Marca describes her as a minority owner. These are differences in label, not contradictions of co-ownership.[4][5][6]
