Russell Westbrook’s Wife Goes Off On Skip Bayless, He Responds

Russell Westbrook’s wife, Nina, is fed up with Fox Sports personality Skip Bayless for criticizing her husband. So she decided to snap back on him.

Recently, he’s been taking to Twitter calling the Lakers player “Westbrick” amid the guard’s shooting struggles.

Nina called out Bayless over his treatment of her husband and for allegedly blocking her on Twitter.

“Mr. Bayless. I’m a real person. If you’re able to use your platform to degrade my husband and constantly call him out of his name, then at least be adult enough to deal with the consequences of your actions,” Nina continued. “Don’t try to erase me from your reality to make yourself feel better about your choices.”

“I’m still here. There’s no need to block me. Just be respectful, and I have no reason to respond or remind you of your reckless choices. Just do better.”

Following this, Nina tweeted:

Then, she went full-on HAM on Bayless, calling him “childish” and “disrespectful.”

Bayless later acknowledged Westbrook’s deleted tweet and responded.

Nina has since voiced her feelings about this comment, citing her and her family receiving death threats due to basketball criticism.

Bayless is regarded as one of the most prominent sports analysts in American football and basketball. However, he’s known for outrageous comments and divisive tweets, which draw the ire of fans and players alike.
