One of the perks of being a celebrity is being universally known and recognized. That’s also one of the biggest issues, as there’s literally nothing you can do or say without the media being all over it.
That’s the case with NBA star LeBron James. He’s followed everywhere he goes and the media is constantly reporting everything that goes on with him and his family, especially his elder son Bronny.
Bronny became famous because of his basketball skills and then made all the headlines for a video allegedly smoking marijuana. Now, however, he’s become a trending topic on Twitter for the wrong reasons.
LeBron James Bursts In Flames, Threatens The Media After A Report Of Bronny Allegedly Dating Larsa Pippen
Robert Littal of gossip site BSO posted a baseless story of Bronny James reportedly dating Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa Pippen, claiming they’ve been exchanging DMs and are having an affair.
Larsa has become a bit of an infamous character around the NBA for her repeated affairs while she was Scottie’s wife, including the rapper future, Tristan Thompson of the Boston Celtics and, more recently, Malik Beasley of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Moreover, let’s not ignore the fact that Bronny is just 16 years old, making this baseless story even more disturbing. That’s why he didn’t hesitate to clear the air, saying “I liked one of my best friends moms’ picture y’all just childish”.
Notably, it seems like LeBron James finally had enough of the media talking about his son, and seemed to threatened to take legal actions vs. Littal and BSO, citing that he’s making up stories about a minor:
“With everything going on in the world right now, THIS is the sh*t y’all talking about… At the end of the day y’all are talking about a minor. I don’t care what type of ‘celebrity’ y’all think he is, he’s a child and the bullsh*t needs to stop. Y’all got the right one. Uh-oh y’all f*cked with the wrong one now! Good luck. It won’t be cute!” James wrote.
Whether this story is true or not is not for us to decide and we should draw the line at some point. As The King said, it’s a minor we’re talking about and these kinds of stories are just disturbing.
