Danica Patrick Accuses LeBron James Of Being 'Guilty' Of Something
Yesterday at 07:52 PM
Danica Patrick seems to think there is more to LeBron James' recent hiatus than meets the eye.
James returned to the court for the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday night after an eight-day absence for "personal reasons." The future Hall of Famer missed two games while away from the team, which also gave him the opportunity to rest a troublesome left foot.
"A lot of rehabbing, a lot of training still to make sure that I was ready to go tonight," James said after last night's 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. "Didn't want to get too much out of shape."
Whether James' health was the only reason for his time away will likely never be known for sure. There's been no shortage of conspiracy theories regarding his absence, and it appears Patrick subscribes to them.
In her Instagram story Monday, Patrick shared a post from Us Weekly about LeBron's time off for "personal reasons" and accused the four-time NBA champion of being "guilty" of something.
"Ohhhh, the guilty are running!" Patrick wrote, not specifying what James might be guilty of.
If you've been on the internet and read through the comments section of any article, tweet or post about LeBron stepping away, you'd know there are a lot of people linking his sabbatical to the ongoing sex trafficking case involving Diddy.
There's no concrete evidence of this being the case, but that hasn't stopped social media, or Patrick, from speculating.
Patrick is outspoken about her political leanings on social media, and sometimes her posts can be pretty conspiratorial in nature.
The former NASCAR and Indy Car driver voted in a presidential election for the first time this year, supporting Republican president-elect Donald Trump, who she campaigned for publicly.
"Here is where I stand with SOME current issues and politics. I am not a liberal. I am somewhere between republican and independent. I think our country should be run by someone that knows business and has integrity. I believe we should be able to speak freely," Patrick previously shared on social media.
"I love this country, and I have lived in other places. I believe when people of different opinions speak face to face, we realize we are more similar than different."
