'Courtside Karen' Juliana Carlos' apology slammed, LeBron James fans say she can be on 'franchise of housewives'

The 25-year-old took to Instagram saying she was sorry after heckling LeBron James during the Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks game

'Courtside Karen' aka Juliana Carlos has issued a formal apology, but social media isn't letting this one pass. The 25-year-old took to Instagram, saying she was sorry after heckling LeBron James during the Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks game on Monday, February 1. The altercation saw her remove her mask and reportedly hurl abuses at the NBA star and even went on to narrate her version of the story after the game on Instagram. The Hawks supporter was a viral sensation on Monday and at the time of writing, still continues to trend on social media.

Soon after the incident, the Hawks conducted an investigation and said they would not be banning the four fans who were ejected from courtside seats for future games. ESPN's Dave McMenamin tweeted out the verdict. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the game, prompting officials to halt play for some time and call security. Juliana was mincing no words as she was vocal and also appeared to give James a middle-finger salute upon her ejection.

While the matter formally may have come to an end, trust Twitterati to not forget the woman who made waves over her remarks abusing James. Fans of Lakers and James were relentless with their comments. MEAWW cannot independently verify and does not support the claims made on the Internet.

"She apologized for removing her mask. The rest of it was a bad attempt at justifying her own actions," read one of the tweets. Some went as far as implying her to be a pornstar. "Fuck that where the pornhub link? I know she on http://blacked.com somewhere," read one of the comments. One said, "This is a typical Karen apology You're Courtside Karen forever now, babe." One more said, "I got to give Courtside Karen credit tho that was an excellent apology one of the best i’ve seen she got better PR team than actual famous folks lol." Another said, "Courtside Karen will be on a franchise of housewives she’s famous now she did the apology right on schedule. She will ride her 15 minutes."

That this incident happened to be during Black History Month was another debate on Twitter. There were two sides to the story as the internet was divided between whose fault it largely was. Sarcasm was one of the tones as one of the comments read: "Black history month off to a great start rn." Another added: "sterday @KingJames said “black history month is every month. They just happened to give us the shortest month of the year.” stay woke."

"Lmaooo courtside Karen is hilarious they never learn smh watch that bitch come out with an apology video and fake white tears smh," one said. "The 1st day of Black History month probably made it wosre.But this is the 2nd time in a week that the refs ejected James hecklers. No one deserve to be cussed out and constantly harassed.Learn how to hold your liquor or get ejected. Hawks are investigating the incident.Humanity," opined one of the fans. 

Soon after the game, LeBron, on his part said fans coming back to the stadium was good news. "I missed that interaction,” he said. “I need that interaction. We as players need that interaction. I don’t think it was warranted to be kicked out.”
