Basketball player Carmelo Anthony responded to rumors that he’s cheating on his wife after being spotted on a yacht Wednesday with another woman.
Anthony was seen on a yacht in the South of France with a woman who was not his wife La La Anthony, and the internet decided that he was cheating, according to a report published by Page Six.
The former New York Knicks star denied the allegations claiming that he was on a business trip and the woman in the photo is also married.
“I’m really only addressing this for my family,” he said in a video published by TMZ. “Keep my family out this, man.” (RELATED: Remember NBA Star Carmelo Anthony? His Career Appears To Be Tanking)
“Y’all trying to expose somebody’s wife. Y’all exposing somebody’s kids. Leave that alone, man. That ain’t cool,” Anthony added.
Anthony admitted he now has to deal with the repercussions of the false allegations with his wife and his son.
This isn’t the first time Anthony has been accused of cheating on La La. The couple reportedly split in 2018, but they reconciled after four months.
If you’ve had cheating rumors out in the court of public opinion before, being spotted with a beautiful woman on a yacht isn’t the best look. If his wife is really upset about the reports, it makes me think Anthony didn’t communicate what he was doing to her.
I feel like it should be easy to get ahead of these rumors, but Anthony is reportedly still dealing with the fallout.
