Kyle Rittenhouse has wasted no time in blasting LeBron James in the aftermath of his acquittal in his murder trial – in fact Kyle swore at LeBron!
Kyle Rittenhouse Calls Out LeBron James For Suggesting His Tears During The Trial Were Not Genuine – ‘F*** You, LeBron’
Kyle had been on trial after his actions of shooting two people dead and injuring another at a protest held in response to the police shooting of Jacob White meant that he could have faced a life sentence.
But as the jury cleared him of all charges, given that his plea of self-defence was accepted, Kyle turned his attention towards basketball star LeBron James.
During the course of the trial, LeBron had publicly commented on how he was left disturbed by Kyle’s tears during the trial. In what others interpreted as a sign of remorse, LeBron saw it as anything but that.
A the time, he had remarked: “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man, knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”
Now that the case is over, Kyle understandably had a lot to say. This was for the following reasons. First of all, at the time that LeBron had made those comments, Kyle’s case was still being considered.
Therefore, statements like this could have had an influence on the outcome as it is not far-fetched to say that members of the jury did not have social media.
Secondly, there is always the proviso of innocent until proven guilty, something which LeBron seemed to have forgotten. During an appearance on the ‘You Are Here’ show, Kyle did not hold back on his condemnation.
He said: “I was a Lakers fan too before he said that. I was really pissed off that he said that. I liked LeBron, and then I’m like, ‘You know what, f*** you, LeBron.”
Regardless of whether you agree with what Kyle had to say, people on social media questioned his intentions for speaking out publicly.
Although Kyle was declared innocent, some people felt that he should have stayed silent because a lot of people were still angered by the verdict.
One person on Twitter wrote: “Even if he didn’t murder them and it was defence, why is he going on a media tour like he did some great duty …wtf is up with ppls thinking lol.”
