Bronny James found himself at the center of controversy this week when sordid rumors began to run rampant online regarding him and Larsa Pippen.
It all started with eagle-eyed observers noticing his recent Instagram activity. Things escalated from there when a couple of internet blogs seemed to falsely suggest that Bronny and Larsa had been exchanging DMs. That is when a line was crossed.
Bronny immediately took to social media to address the gossip.
At that point, Larsa also went on the offensive.
Some of these stories are so disgusting the fact that my sons friends can’t like my pics without some ppl writing some weirdo shit is crazy.

At that point, Bronny’s mother, Savannah, decided to intervene.
As did his father, LeBron.
Larsa drama aside, Bronny had been mostly silent on social media ever since LeBron returned from the NBA Bubble a few months back.
Many assumed that this quietness was due to LeBron punishing his 16-year-old for having a little too much fun while he was gone, but that was never actually confirmed.
Aside from one minor blip with an Instagram model, it has been crickets from Bronny for a while now.

Offline, Bronny is doing very well for himself these days.
On the court, the 16-year-old is a rising star for Sierra Canyon School’s basketball team. He is widely expected to be one of the most promising recruits in the nation.
Off the court, he is a content creator for esports team FaZe Clan and boasts nearly 6 million followers on Instagram.
Twitter jokes notwithstanding, Bronny is living his best life and has a promising future ahead of him.
Besides, with a dad like LeBron paving the way for him – you know the youngster is going to turn out fine.
