Kyle Rittenhouse rips LeBron James for mocking him during homicide trial
Kyle Rittenhouse had strong words about LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star mocked him during his homicide trial.
James tweeted last month that he “didn’t see one” real tear when Rittenhouse appeared to start sobbing uncontrollably during the trial.
“I was really pissed off when he said that ‘cause I liked LeBron, and then I’m like, ‘You know what? F--k you, LeBron,’” Rittenhouse said Monday on the BlazeTV program “You Are Here.”
Rittenhouse, 18, was found not guilty of all charges after he fatally shot two men and wounded another during an August 2020 protest in Kenosha, Wis. The protest occurred two days after following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, who was left partially paralyzed.
During his trial, Rittenhouse claimed it was self-defense when he fired his AR-15-style rifle at the protest.
He seemed to start crying as he spoke at the trial on Nov. 10.
“What tears????? I didn’t see one,” James, 36, tweeted at the time. “Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”
