Viral 'Courtside Karen' Says She Was Kicked Out Of Game For Threatening To 'F**k Up' LeBron James

Viral 'Courtside Karen' Says She Was Kicked Out Of Game For Threatening To 'F**k Up' LeBron James

NBA star LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers was threatened by an Atlanta Hawks fan who was dubbed by him as a "Courtside Karen."

Juliana Carlos was sitting in courtside seats with her husband at Monday's game attended by a socially-distanced crowd of 1,341 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.


Her husband allegedly got into a heated dispute with James during the fourth quarter.

And while details as to why they got into a verbal altercation are unclear, Carlos defended her husband by laying into James in a profanity-laden tirade that eventually led to her and her husband's ejection, along with two others, from the venue.

Carlos also pulled down her mask during the fiery exchange. It's unclear if any arena employees will need to get tested or quarantine because of her pandemic protocol faux pas.

In response to the woman's incendiary outburst, James later quipped:

"Fans in the stands is just better."

Here is a clip from Monday's ruckus from the sidelines.

In a viral video, Carlos explained her version of why she and her husband were booted from the arena.

"Just got kicked out of the game for talking sh*t to LeBron James for talking sh*t to my f'king husband."
"LeBron looked at my husband during the game and cussed him out and I stood up and I go, 'Don't f'king talk to my husband. Talk to my husband one more time and I will f'k you up.'"
"And he started fighting with me, 'Shut your mouth, dumb bitch.' And I go, 'You shut your f'king mouth bitch.'"

WARNING: NSFW language

Twitter weighed in with their observations.




On Tuesday, James mocked the incident and tweeted:


Despite his online ribbing of the angry Hawks fan, James said the couple's ejection from the venue was not warranted.

"At the end of the day, I'm just happy fans are back in the building. I missed that interaction. I need that interaction."

"There was a back and forth between two grown men," explained the NBA champ of his diatribe with Carlos' husband.

""We said our piece, he said his piece, I said my piece. And then someone else jumped into it and said their piece,. But I don't think they should've been kicked out.
"But they might have had a couple drinks maybe, and they could've probably kept it going and the game wouldn't be about the game no more. So I think the referees did what they had to do."

At Monday's game, James led the Lakers to a 107-99 victory defeating the Hawks.

Vice President JD Vance was quickly called out after he claimed in a Fox News interview focused on President Donald Trump's tariffs that tariffs will actually lead to "tax relief" for Americans.

Vance spoke as Trump continues to leave countries reeling over his chaotic tariff policies; he just announced, for example, yet another 90-day pause on sweeping tariffs on China. The Chinese government said they hope the move will lead to "positive outcomes" for China and the U.S.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
