Fans of LeBron James are enjoying themselves following the lawsuit against Skip Bayless. The lawsuit, from former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji, accuses Bayless of sexual harassment.
They are joking that LeBron is “smiling somewhere” because of the news. This adds to the rivalry between Bayless and LeBron, with fans saying Bayless might be the happiest person right now.
Skip Bayless has been one of LeBron James’ biggest critics. He often points out flaws in LeBron’s game, like his free-throw shooting and clutch performances. Bayless has also compared LeBron to Michael Jordan, saying LeBron hasn’t faced the same challenges.
Recently, Bayless downplayed LeBron’s achievements after his 40th birthday, saying he only reached those milestones because he’s played more minutes than Jordan.
LeBron has never responded to these comments, but his fans were upset with Bayless’ claims. Now, with the serious allegations against Bayless going viral, fans are celebrating online, calling it the perfect time for LeBron to get revenge after all these years.
