Kristen Saban, the daughter of legendary football coach Nick Saban, is accused of cheating on her husband with former Bachelorette contestant James McCoy Taylor. The latter actually went public with the allegations against the former in an effort to tell his side of the story before it got out.
He claims that he was blackmailed…
Taylor, who has a questionable past of his own, was a contestant on the 12th season of The Bachelorette. He is now a social media personality and aspiring country music artist.
The 37-year-old claims that he is “exiled from Bachelor nation.” You can look into the reasons why.
Anyway, Taylor made significant allegations on Instagram on Tuesday night. They directly involve Kristen Saban, whose married name was/is Setas. She supposedly cheated on her husband with him.
I’ll get right to the point – around 2 months ago I flew out to Birmingham to see Kristen Saban, yes Nick Saban’s daughter. She picked me up and we drove to Tuscaloosa.
Three days later she tells me she’s still married and living with her husband. I was shocked and pissed that this wasn’t made known to me before I came to visit. I verbalized that to Kristen. She said she thought it was respectful to tell me in person… I told her this isn’t a break up. This can and should be done on the phone.
So she drives me back to BHam and I fly home to Houston. We had a falling out and don’t speak.
So why am I posting this?
Someone got these pictures and is blaackmaiiling me saying if I don’t pay them X amount of money they’ll send these pics to TMZ and the news etc and tell them I’m a cheater and a home-wrecker goin to meet married women and a liar etc… they claim there are more pics and I wouldn’t believe them except for the fact that they knew we went to innisfree one night and told me exactly where we were in there and what we were wearing.
Tomorrow’s my deadline to decide so I started consolidating some cash to pay, I thought about doing nothing and calling his / her bluff… I thought about a lot but decided to go the Eminem route and call myself out on my terms with the truth instead of letting someone else twist it.
The truth is I did NOT know that when I flew there. I hope there are no more pictures posted because what’s the point now? (Nick apparently knows about these because she got a call from him on the way back to Birmingham and I could hear him PISSED. Which ngl as an Aggie made me chuckle a little bit when she told me it was about us and people taking pictures – but it also made me feel bad for her cuz she loves her dad that’s for sure and she was instantly sad).
I also hope she’s not under this same pressure from this same person. And I hope she has the best life – I don’t wish a single bad thing on Kristen ever.

His story continued in the comments.
Anyway… I’m done with people posting and writing fake crap about me so forgive me for the drama today but if this is going to get out then I’m at least having it come out with the truth.
Don’t know if she’s still with her husband, someone told me she’s talkin to someone else – I have no idea. I don’t care. I wanna be done with this and move on… also don’t want a husband after me thinkin I knew.I’m faaar from perfect but man – before you judge remember I’ve been blindsided in the face and lost teeth for no reason. FBI went through my parents house for no reason – besides the “news” claiming I went to j6 when I was skiing in Utah that day (like 20 magazines printed that crap). And much more… people just say and write what they want with no regard for the truth.
Hope this doesn’t cause Kristen or the Saban fam trouble. I think it woulda been worse saying nothing, I don’t want some loser getting paid off of our pain and I’m done taking the fall – sadly, I gotta start lookin out for myself because the media sure won’t. And my family and future family hopefully.
Anyway, glad this is off my chest and the pit in my stomach from the threets is nearly gone. Y’all pray for me and her and her fam and I hope there’s a lot of mercy to go around and only good comes from this. Y’all have a good one

The post also included three photos of Taylor with Nick Saban’s daughter while wearing a Nick Saban shirt. In one, they are kissing.
Now, this is Taylor’s account of what happened.
Kristen Saban’s story could be different!
There are three sides to every story: his, hers and the truth. We don’t know how all of this went down. There could be more to this saga.
However, based on first-hand experience, it is very hard to believe Taylor in general. It is even more difficult to believe that Taylor did not know Saban Setas was/is married— even though we don’t actually know if she was and/or still is.
Maybe there is something (divorce?) to which we are unaware!
And for a fully grown man to say that he hopes “this doesn’t cause Kristen or the Saban fam trouble” while actively torching them is hilarious. What does he think is going to happen?!
The daughter of Nick Saban appeared to respond to Taylor’s post with a cryptic story on Instagram.
The post included an anonymous quote.
NEXT TIME SOMEONE TRIES TO BRING YOU DOWN, REMEMBER:
CONFIDENCE IS QUIET
INSECURITY IS LOUD.
Perhaps Krisen Saban (Setas?) was referring to James McCoy Taylor. Perhaps she was referring to the alleged blackmailer.
Maybe it was a coincidence. Probably not…
