Ex-Barstool Sports star Sofia Franklyn made headlines recently when she made something of a spicy allegation.
During a recent podcast appearance, Franklyn went into depth about Maroon 5 Adam Levine’s now-infamous run-in with a very hardcore Texas football fan.
In the process, Franklyn seemed to outwardly accuse Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James of cheating on his wife.
The video speaks for itself:
@sofiafranklyn If ur gonna cheat.. at least have some respect and LOWER UR FUCKING VOICE ADAM #lebronjames #leonardodicaprio #cheater #adamlevine ♬ original sound – Sofia Franklyn
To hear Franklyn tell it, James hosts schnidgs and makes women sign NDAs so that he could do whatever he wants, despite being married to Savannah James.
The reaction to Franklyn’s revelation was mixed.
“She needs to leave Bron name out,” one fan wrote.
“The LeBron information is very known in Cleveland,” another added.
“You not gone be slandering Bron name like this, I will not stand for it,” a third person replied.
“How you go from talking about Adam Levine to spreading misinformation about Lebron James?” a fourth person wondered.
This obviously isn’t the first time LeBron has been in the headlines for something like this. He was involved in a pretty wild DMs controversy not long ago, and then there was that whole “side chick” hubbub from earlier this year.
Plus, there was also that now-infamous encounter with a hot female fan sitting courtside at a Lakers game.
People will obviously draw their own conclusions.
As for Franklyn, it’s fascinating to see her back in the headlines after her messy split with Barstool Sports and former partner Alex Cooper.
After their breakup Cooper went on to sign a $60 million deal with Spotify, whereas Franklyn hasn’t really been heard from until now. It’s good to know she is still alive.
Obviously she has a good amount of followers on Instagram — more than 760,000, to be exact. She routinely puts out posts like this for them:

But it’s hard not to feel like Franklyn has been absent from the news cycle since her blowup with Cooper.
The other central figure from that whole brouhaha has also gone missing since being dominated by Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy.

It will be interesting to see if LeBron ultimately chooses to respond to these claims in any way.
They’re pretty damaging to his reputation as a family man, and Franklyn does have some reach.
If not, the silence will sort of speak for itself as well.
