Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was just one of many public figures who were utterly disgusted about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, which saw him get off scot-free after killing two people and injuring another in the Kenosha, Wisconsin protests in August of 2020.
During the 18-year-old's court case, LeBron simply couldn't believe Rittenhouse was crying like a child and proceeded to clown him on social media with this tweet:
What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/LKwYssIUmD

Well, Rittenhouse has since gone on an NSFW rant towards LeBron James, saying he was once a fan of the superstar, but not anymore. Via TMZ Sports:
“I liked LeBron,” the Kenosha shooter said Monday on The BlazeTV's “You Are Here” show. “And, then I'm like, ‘You know what, f*** you, LeBron.”
“I was a Lakers fan too before he said that,” Rittenhouse said. “I was really pissed off that he said that.”
