LaLa and Carmelo Anthony Check Bench Player After Cheating Rumors Surface Again

LaLa Vazquez Anthony cheating rumors surfaced once again after Jordan Crawford accused Carmelo’s wife of cheating during game 5 this week, but LaLa is done taking all the rumors in stride.

Remember when Kevin Garnett created a huge fiasco on the court after he allegedly told Carmelo that his wife tasted like cheerios?

Well apparently Jordan Crawford does too and he decided during the game would be a find time to bring it back up.

Jordan was caught on camera yelling during the game at Carmelo saying, “That muthaf***er f***ed your wife!”

While the New York Knicks player got heated at first, he quickly cooled off and paid the comment no mind as he continued on with the game.

LaLa, on the other hand, decided to put Crawford back in his place – on the bench.

The 33-year-old Brooklyn native took to Instagram and called Jordan out in a way that would embarrass any NBA star.

“STRONG WOMEN only intimidate weak men,” the Instagram post said.

Not too bad right? While she did call him a weak man it wasn’t necessarily directed towards the Celtics player… until she followed up with the following message:

“Try again. You on the bench for a reason.”

Nothing hurts more than the truth right?

Well apparently the Instagram post had Crawford feeling some type of way and he decided to deny ever making the comment.

“I would never talk trash about that mans Wife,” he tweeted after the incident. “I don’t him…. All I did was respond!”

Unfortunately for him, there is plenty of video evidence that proves he did in fact make the tacky comment.

While LaLa took out Crawford in a matter of seconds via social media, her hubby decided that the situation simply wasn’t worth his time.

“I’m not thinking about no Jordan Crawford,” Anthony said when he was asked about what happened on the court. “Not at this point in time, I’ll you that. I don’t even think he deserves for you to be typing right now.”

The only thing worse than getting put in check through Instagram is to then be told that you aren’t worth that social media post or any other attention in the first place.

Bravo to LaLa and Carmelo!

Maybe this will finally put an end to those pesky cheating rumors.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
