“F*ck Josh Giddey” Chants Heard At Lil Uzi Vert Concert In Boston

by

The crowd at Lil Uzi Vert’s concert in Boston broke into an impromptu chant of “F-ck Josh Giddey” during Uzi’s performance on Friday night. While the sort of chant would be expected at the Garden during a Celtics game, news of the Australian NBA star’s allegations have seen the hatred being aimed at him spread beyond merely the sports world. The allegations, especially following the revelation that the girl in question could have been as young as 15, have sparked a massive backlash against the rising star.

However, new evidence has reportedly emerged that could help clear Giddey’s name, or at least lessen the charges against him. A video uploaded to YouTube appears to show Giddey clubbing with Livvy Cook, the alleged minor he reportedly slept with. Many people have pointed out that if the footage is legitimate, Giddey might not have known Cook was underage or that she may have even lied about her age, especially if she was out clubbing. This comes after a number of people pointed out that at least one of Cook’s TikToks was tagged “Iamover21”. The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16.

Josh Giddey Allegations Being Investigated By NBA

Furthermore, the allegations made against Giddey are now being investigated by the NBA. A league spokesperson announced that the league office was “looking” into the allegations on Friday, a day after they originally hit social media. Earlier in the day, Giddey acknowledged the allegations for the first time. “I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey told reporters after practice on Friday.

However, the Thunder confirmed Saturday that Giddey will not miss any playing time for the moment. The Thunder play the Sixers at home tonight before facing Minnesota and the Lakers later in the week. Giddey is currently putting up 12.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists a night through 15 games. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates on the case as and when they emerge.

The allegations that Josh Giddey had sexual relations with a minor are officially being investigated by the NBA. A league spokesperson announced that the league office was “looking” into the allegations on Friday, a day after they originally hit social media. Earlier in the day, Giddey acknowledged the allegations for the first time. “I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey told reporters after practice on Friday.

Giddey is accused of a sexual relationship with a woman named Livvy Cook. The allegations first emerged on social media, with users appearing to post evidence of Giddey interacting with Cook. One of the widely-cited pieces of alleged evidence was a Snapchat post showing Giddey and Cook in a post-coital state of undress with the in-picture text caption “Just f-cked Josh Giddey”. Furthermore, social media users later uncovered more posts that appeared to corroborate the story, as well as Cooks’ TikTok account, which appeared to confirm that she was not 18. Further investigation has revealed that Cook may have been as young as 15.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, although a “close-age exception” exists if one party is at least 14 and both parties are 18 or younger. According to state law, sexual relations between an unmarried couple in which one party is below the age of consent and the other is 18 or older could result in a second-degree statutory rape charge. The sentence if found guilty can range from one to 15 years in prison.

Born in 2002, Giddey joined the NBA in 2021. He forwent the US college system, instead playing a season of professional basketball in his native Australia before declaring for the draft. He had a strong rookie season, putting up 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists as part of the Thunder’s young core. His sophomore season only saw Giddey improve. In the 2022-23 season, Giddey put up 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists as the Thunder made the playoffs for the first time since the COVID Bubble.

Josh Giddey Breaks Silence Amid Allegations That He Had Sex With A Minor

by

Earlier this week, Josh Giddey was accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor. Overall, these are very harsh allegations that have the potential to ruin his career. Ultimately, fans were shocked and disappointed by what they were hearing. However, there has been no confirmation other than some videos that portray Giddey next to a young woman. Many are claiming that the woman in question is a Junior in high school which makes her either 16 or 17. Furthermore, it has been alleged that she was 15 at the time of the encounter.

Once again, these are allegations and nothing has been confirmed. However, Twitter has already decided that Giddey is guilty. Of course, many have wondered what the NBA would do given the allegations. One would assume that the league would take action. Or perhaps the Thunder would release some kind of statement. Well, that hasn’t happened. However, today at Thunder practice, Giddey was in front of reporters, where he was asked directly about the allegations.

Josh Giddey Has Nothing To Say

“I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey said. Needless to say, he was probably told by a PR person to not say anything. After all, he is in a pretty bad situation right now. Both his career and his life are at stake. However, he is still at practice, and that feels a bit surprising right now. Only time will tell whether or not the team takes any further action. As soon as he gets onto the court, it is going to be very bizarre out there. The boos and the chirps from other players will be palpable.

Let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments section below. Should the NBA take action or leave it alone for law enforcement to deal with?

Livvy Cook Reportedly Just 15 Years Old During Alleged Encounter With Josh Giddey

by

New details have reportedly emerged in the allegations that Oklahoma City Thunder star Josh Giddey had sexual relations with a minor. The girl in question, Liv Cook (who has also been reported as Livv and Livvy Cook), was originally believed to be a junior or senior in high school. This would make her around 17 at the time of the encounter with Giddey. However, new evidence appears to show that Cook is actually a sophomore, meaning that she was possibly as young as 15 at the time of her encounter with Giddey.

The original allegations against Giddey initially emerged on social media, with users appearing to post evidence of Giddey interacting with Cook. One of the widely-cited pieces of alleged evidence was a Snapchat post showing Giddey and Cook in a post-coital state of undress with the in-picture text caption “Just f-cked Josh Giddey”. Furthermore, social media users later uncovered more posts that appeared to corroborate the story, as well as Cooks’ TikTok account, which appeared to confirm that she was not 18. Giddey is yet to issue a statement about the allegations. However, he has turned off comments on his Instagram page.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, although a “close-age exception” exists if one party is at least 14 and both parties are 18 or younger.

The sentence if found guilty can range from one to 15 years in prison.

However, there are still debates about whether Cook is underage. In one TikTok video, she appears to use the hashtag “Iamover21”. Furthermore, Olivia Cook is proving to be a very popular name and the virality of the story is likely throwing up numerous false positives. Regardless, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Josh Giddey Accused Of Having Sexual Relationship With A Minor

by

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor. The allegations first emerged on social media, with users appearing to post evidence of Giddey interacting with a reportedly then-17-year-old Olivia Cook. One of the widely-cited pieces of alleged evidence was a Snapchat post showing Giddey and Cook in a post-coital state of undress with the in-picture text caption “Just f-cked Josh Giddey”. Furthermore, social media users later uncovered more posts that appeared to corroborate the story, as well as Cooks’ TikTok account, which appeared to confirm that she was not 18.

However, the allegations are largely unverified and stem primarily from second-hand reporting of social media posts. Neither Giddey nor Cook have released a statement at this time. Giddey, a first-round pick in 2021 and widely considered the future of Australian basketball, played against the Bulls in a game on Wednesday night. He had 10 points and 6 rebounds in the Thunder win. This is a developing story and we will have any updates as and when they emerge.

PORTLAND, OREGON – NOVEMBER 19: Josh Giddey #3 of the Oklahoma City Thunder warms up before a game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on November 19, 2023 in Portland, Oregon.

Born in 2002, Giddey joined the NBA in 2021. He forwent the US college system, instead playing a season of professional basketball in his native Australia before declaring for the draft. He had a strong rookie season, putting up 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists as part of the Thunder’s young core. His sophomore season only saw Giddey improve. In the 2022-23 season, Giddey put up 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists as the Thunder made the playoffs for the first time since the COVID Bubble.

Meanwhile, Giddey’s star was also rising on the international scene. After playing at the junior level, Giddey made his debut for Australia’s senior national team in 2020. However, he fell just short of making the roster for the 2020 Olympics, where Australia would win a bronze medal. Despite this, Giddey would make the roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, putting up 19.4 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists a game. Australia would finish 10th but still secured an Olympic berth.
