NBA star LeBron James is accusing Kyle Rittenhouse of faking his tears during testimony in his murder trial.
On Wednesday night, James shared a USA Today tweet that read, “Kyle Rittenhouse broke down in tears at his murder trial while on the witness stand as he described the events of Aug. 25, 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.”
James wrote, “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off!”
“That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court,” he added with three laughing emojis.
As CNN notes, “Rittenhouse testified Wednesday that he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot a man who had thrown a plastic bag at him and chased him last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in what is likely to be the pivotal testimony of his homicide trial.”
During his testimony, he said, “I didn’t do anything wrong. I defended myself.”
Eventually, he broke down in tears, as IJR reported.
James quickly received criticism for his comment on social media:
James was not alone in suggesting Rittenhouse was acting. Joy Behar, co-host of ABC’s “The View,” said on Thursday, “That acting job of the crying? I can’t even look at it.”
