Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard should be gearing up for a monster game against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, but some people can really test your patience online.
The Bucks star turned to his IG story to react ongoing controversy surrounding the Fox Sports host Joy Taylor has been caught up in a lawsuit filed by hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who has filed a sexual misconduct case against some of his FS1 EVP colleagues Charlie Dixon and former Undisputed host Skip Bayless.
Neither of the two women or the accused men raised an eyebrow at the usually frigid Lillard. Many thought conservative sportscaster Jason Whitlock was reading a little too much into himself.
First, the lawsuit names Taylor as having gotten to where she is by sleeping with prominent figures to get the role.
Several media personalities joined the conversation to express their unsolicited opinions, including Whitlock, who made a statement that left many people stunned.
Lillard is one of them.
“In what world?” – he wrote on his Instagram story.
What did Damian Lillard react to?
First, Whitlock expressed disappointment with Taylor over the controversy, saying that many people look to her for female empowerment because of her growth.
Joy Taylor is a symbol of the entire feminist movement, the entire Black Queen movement, the entire DEI movement. This whole sharing everything with women and, “Hey, all these shows have to have a woman on them.”
Then he he rose saying he can do what the defendants can do because he is capable.
The only thing Jason Whitlock is capable of is eating corn on the cob all the way! Fat whore!!! https://t.co/vtkuvTmC97

“I know what I’m capable of,” he said in his program. “And that big rack of hers that she kept showing off and that peanut butter crust – I said to myself, ‘Jay, stay away.'”
People thought he was sexist after making such a comment.
Lillard may have just said what everyone is thinking.
