The Dwight Howard bombshell that recently came out absolutely got everybody talking. However, for some, the general public is taking this issue completely the wrong way by focusing on the Washington Wizards big man's supposed sexual preference, as opposed to directing their attention to the bigger problem at hand — the fact that Howard put Masin Elije's life and security at risk by allegedly threatening and stalking her.
A number of Twitter users shared their disdain towards how they feel the public have lost touch.
The breaking news about this should be that Dwight Howard, a man in a position of power, harassed and stalked this person. NOT that he’s into transgender people. https://t.co/rOPYxcF6Yu

Dwight Howard's career is over. Not just because of the tranny relationships but because of the death threats as well. No coming back from this

So Dwight Howard is trash. Not because he may be gay or bisexual, but he is trash for threatening the life of another person. Also having a so-called pastor do it for him is ridiculous. His career will not be gone because he is gay or bisexual, but because of the threats.

Elije accused Dwight Howard of harassing her by allegedly sending his pastor to do his dirty work for him. According to Elije, a man named Calvin — who supposedly spoke on behalf of Howard — started contacting her to try and keep her quiet. It quickly turned ugly as Calvin was allegedly unhappy with Elije's refusal to remain silent.
SO THIS IS WHERE THE STORY BEGINS…. So one day, I started getting private calls, I was told that it was Dwight, I entertained a couple conversations but turns out IT WAS NOT DWIGHT!

Calvin works for Dwight and Calvin begun to get irate, disrespectful and homophobic as I continued to deny his “hush money” and said I wasn’t signing the NDA! He tried to insult my intelligence telling me Dwight doesn’t know me and “I never spoke to dwight” Despite me meeting him pic.twitter.com/UksdSj4np2

These are definitely some big allegations coming from Elije here, and if these turn out to be true, she can actually choose to take legal action against this Calvin person, and perhaps even on Howard and his camp.
Nonetheless, the public appeared to have been more fixated on the fact that Dwight Howard — a 6-foot-11, 265-pound athlete that has proven to be one of the most dominating big men the sport has ever seen — might actually be homosexual.
This certainly did not hold well for some, as they were quick to point out that this is a prime example of how society often overlooks the more relevant and underlying issues, for the sake of entertainment.

To be honest, it is undeniably intriguing to determine whether Howard is gay or not. At the end of the day though, it doesn't really matter. It won't change how he plays the game, and it certainly won't take away from all his achievements in the sport.
However, if Howard's alleged threats are proven to be true, then he certainly has to answer for his crimes.
