Some people criticized James, and some defended his actions.
The main controversy is whether his actions were considered too aggressive or a case of self-defense.

I don’t even like lebron at all but I gotta be honest. He had every right to do this. He is at an R&B song with his wife. He probably would’ve took the picture if he was by himself

People are gonna make this about LeBron being rude but it’s invasion of privacy, he was with his family.

MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING. ???? WASTE OF TIME.. Lebron was simply protecting his personal space/well being (bc people are crazy & will hurt you) & protecting his wife, LIKE A REAL MAN IS SUPPOSED TO DO.. ????

Some people think it was an assault on his behalf towards the person he pushed.

Lol that’s still assault. I’m not saying he was wrong for doing it. But it’s still considered assault

Any time you aggressively put your hands on someone, the law is clear that it is an assault. Even passively can still be considered assault. It all comes down to intention and interpretation. Any good lawyer would get his client a nice settlement check for this behavior

They should sue him. He really thinks he is a king and God forbid if AD can’t play he would turn on him like he does the others that he don’t benefit from Ja you will take his place one day

Whether James’ scruff was in self-defense or not, he’s currently under social media fire.
