It’s not unusual to see LeBron James getting harsh comments on the road. He’s one of the greatest players in NBA history but that doesn’t mean that he’s universally loved or recognized as such, and there are a lot of fans who just don’t like him.
That was in full display when the Los Angeles Lakers visited the Atlanta Hawks last night, as The King and a fan got into it midway in the fourth quarter, forcing the referees to stop the game until the fan and his wife were thrown out.
The girl clearly didn’t care for this and started calling out and threatening LeBron James, claiming that he insulted them and that he just wasn’t going to take it. Needless to say, it didn’t take long before she went viral and got the nickname ‘Courstide Karen’.
LeBron James Says Fans Had Too Much To Drink, Mocks Them On Social Media
“My guy tonight, he went a little bit out of bounds. Too close to comfort for me. And I said my peace and we could’ve moved on. But it was so close to the official, so I think the official heard what he said. It got blown out of proportion,” James started.
“The difference: We’re on the court so we’re not having any alcoholic beverages. It made them feel a little tougher than they already are (…) I miss that interaction. I need that interaction. I don’t feel like they were warranted to get kicked out. There was a back and forth between two grown men. They had a couple of drinks, maybe,” he concluded.
Then, The King took to Twitter to make fun of the girl who was thrown out, deeming her ‘Courstide Karen’ again and laughing it off because of how angry she was during their altercation.
‘Courtside Karen’ Explains Why She Threatened LeBron James
The fan, called Juliana Carlos, took to social media to voice her thoughts on this incident, claiming that it was LeBron James the one who started it and going as far as to say that he insulted her:
“Just got kicked out of the game to for talking sh*t to LeBron James for talking sh*t to my f*cking husband. This is such f*cking bullsh*t. Listen, let me tell you, LeBron James looked at my husband during the game and cussed him out. And I stood up and I go, ‘Don’t f*cking talk to my husband! Talk to my husband one more time and I will f*ck you up!’ And he started fighting with me, he goes, ‘Shut your mouth, dumb b*itch,’ and I go, ‘You shut your f*cking mouth b*tch’,” the girl said.
“Chris has been a Hawks fan forever. He’s been watching the games for 10 years, whatever. He has this issue with LeBron. I don’t have an issue with LeBron, I don’t give a f*ck about LeBron. Anyway, I’m minding my own business, drinking my wine, having fun. All of a sudden, LeBron says something to my husband. And I see this, and I stand up and go, ‘Don’t f*cking talk to my husband!’ And he looks at me and he goes, ‘Sit the f*ck down b*tch.’ And I go, ‘Don’t f*cking call me a b*tch, you sit the f*ck down. Get the f*ck out of here.’ And I go, ‘Don’t f*cking talk to my husband like that, don’t talk to my husband!’ And he literally was like, ‘F*ck you b*tch, sit down b*tch’. And all of a sudden now I’m getting kicked out. Excuse me, I have courtside seats that I paid for. F*ck you LeBron, you’re a f*cking p*ssy, get the f*ck out of here. You’re going to let a 25-year-old girl intimidate you during a game? Bye b*tch,” she concluded.
Heckling Fans Are Huge Trump Supporters
Little did people know that Juliana Carlos’ husband, Chris ‘Daddy’ Carlos is one of the biggest Donald Trump supporters you’ll find. He’s a businessman and a partner at theRepublic National Distributing Company (RNDC), a zoo owner, and a pro-Confederate flag conspiracy theorist.
It’s not a secret that LeBron James and Donald Trump never got along and he’s become the main target among the former President’s supporters, so it’s no wonder why Carlos didn’t waste the chance to voice his thoughts on him during the game.
