Players perform their duty on the court to ball out. Someday they lose, someday they win. Criticizing them for their performance is one thing, but attacking their families is just vile. The recent celebrity who had to face this was Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wife. “People in this world are so disappointing! All over a 🏀!” Mariah started the long message and even exposed the identity of the person who sent her a life-threatening DM.
“I hope that those making hateful comments and sending disgusting messages to my family are proud of yourselves! But since you want to reach out to me privately I will be sure to let the world know publically who you are!” This all comes at a time when the Greece and Turkey fans are still arguing about their EuroBasket semifinal encounter. In that game, Turkey was the victor, so Mariah made sure to congratulate them but reminded them and the other fan base about the toxic nature of fan wars.
“And to all @tbf fans, congratulations on your 🥈 y’all have an amazing team!!!!! However to your fans, there’s no place for this type of behavior in sports. Actually there’s no place for this type of behavior PERIOD!!” The mother of 4 shared the message where not only the fan targeted her and Giannis Antetokounmpo but also their children. “We will k— your entire family. You will be afraid everywhere you go.”
