Ben Simmons' sister says he's turned his back on people who helped him
Ben Simmons is facing some heat ... from a family member.
The Philadelphia 76ers rookie has been cheering on his teammates via social media while recovering from foot surgery. After a recent game was postponed due to court issues, the 20-year-old Aussie shared a photo of unopened sauce, referring to teammate Nik "Sauce Castillo" Stauskas.

One of his sisters, Olivia, leaped at the opportunity to roast Ben and compare him to sauce.
You and that sauce have a lot in common. Unopened, the bottle looks nice but once u have it, it'll burn you. #benyousosaucy https://t.co/taQe1xeh15

She proceeded to provide some more context:
Struggle city right now. I wish I was a cash cow for my family and treated everyone like shit maybe I would get the support I need.

I'm tired of people asking how my brother is before they ask how I am. ASK HIM IF YOU CARE SO MUCH.

I'm happy that my brother is living his dream I just wish our family was broke again we were so much happier then

Sixers fans jumped to their savior's latest lottery pick's defense, so Olivia fired back with the fact Ben has yet to make his pro debut.
Me and @BenSimmons25 have played the same amount of NBA games...... ZERO

In what may not be a coincidence, the former LSU star apparently blocked her:
LMFAO so clearly u see me. Bro I was being nice but u became too cool. When I tried to reach out, not call back. This is pathetic. pic.twitter.com/i5FhAoK5wJ

And so, Olivia - who's opened up about living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety - aired some dirty laundry.
Your sister struggled and opened up on nation wide television and u can't call her after it happens. I called u and didn't get a call back.

When your ass was drinking and needed rides home from parties I did that mate. Took u to school. Took on people who bullied you. Like #done

Money doesn't change people it reveals them.

You don't turn your back on the people who literally helped you get to where u are.

Just wondering what he did for y'all for u to come at me? When he brings you guys a championship then talk. Better yet let him bring u a W.
