NBA Star Rumors Surface
Chatter Goes Viral
Let's cut to the chase - the rumor mill is abuzz about NBA star Josh Giddey (21) being caught in a scandalous situation. The rumors originated from an anonymous source on their X-channel, formerly known as Twitter, who claimed that Giddey engaged in inappropriate activities with a minor. The allegations were backed up with photos and videos, although they've since been deleted.
The Evidence
There are a few pieces of evidence that have fueled these rumors. In one of the videos, Giddey is seen with his arm around the alleged minor. A Snapchat photo allegedly shows him putting his arms around her neck. According to the source, a third video has Giddey calling the minor "his girl." The video screenshots and photo remain, adding fuel to the fire.
Additional Evidence Surfaces
Another Snapchat photo, presumably uploaded to X, further stoked speculation. Josh Giddey can be seen in at least half naked in the photo, with the caption "Just got Josh Giddey ****".
The Accused's Age and State Laws
Whether or not the girl is the alleged minor Liv Cook, and if she's really underage, is yet to be confirmed. If the allegations are proven true, this could lead to significant consequences according to Oklahoma's laws. In the state, minors are only allowed to engage in sexual activities with someone who is no more than two years older, up to the age of 18. However, after turning 18, it is considered statutory rape, regardless of consent. The punishment for such a crime can range up to 15 years in prison.
The Timing and Instagram Response
If the recordings are older, Giddey's age of 21 could potentially help him. In the US, 21 is considered the age of majority. Giddey and his team have yet to respond to these serious allegations, with him blacking out his Instagram profile picture and deactivating the comment function on his pinned posts.
Impact on NBA and Career
With this controversy clouding his career, Giddey and the Oklahoma City Thunder have yet to respond to these serious allegations. Basketball fans and social media users alike are pushing for a swift and firm response from the NBA and the Thunder to address such a serious matter.
