Lebron James getting served with a divorce from his wife following a tweet about President Donald Trump is fake news. There is no truth to a report that the NBA megastar was sent divorce papers from his wife after he tweeted and then deleted a comment about Trump.
James did call Trump a “bum” following the president’s revoking of an invitation to Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors of a White House visit. “U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” he tweeted.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

Now, where did the fake news originate? America’s Last Line of Defense published the story on Sept. 30, 2017, reporting that James was issued divorce papers. You can see the fake news below.
NBA megastar LeBron James just can’t stop slamming Trump, and this time, it may have cost him his marriage.
The King’s latest tweet appears to have been the last straw for his wife, Savannah. Despite LeBron deleting the tweet quickly due to rampant fan backlash, Savannah – a Trump supporter – saw it and contacted a lawyer to initiate divorce proceedings.
This appears to be an obvious indication that King James plans to protest the President once the NBA season begins, something sources close to the family say his wife “wants nothing to do with” as it’s “a national embarrassment.”
No word yet on any backlash from the NBA, which yesterday announced that it expects players to stand for the anthem or face punishment, but surely the loss of his marriage will change the King’s tune toward President Trump. Will he kneel? Will he recant on calling the President a “bum?” Only time will tell.
However, there is no truth to the above story. There have been no articles published by legit media outlets that have reported on this alleged story. Rather, Last Line of Defense is fake news site.
Here are some examples of people sharing the fake news on social media.
