Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, told a news outlet in a recent interview, “F—k you, LeBron” after the basketball star mocked his tearful testimony on Twitter, suggesting that the emotional display was an act, according to a news report.
The teen was acquitted last month on all counts including homicide for using an AR-15-style rifle in self-defense to fatally shoot two men and wound another amid protests and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020. Rittenhouse, then 17, was legally allowed to possess the weapon under Wisconsin law.
He took the witness stand and sobbed as he recalled the night of the shooting, prompting the judge to call a recess.
The Los Angeles Laker fired off a snarky tweet on Nov. 10. “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court,” James wrote in the message followed by three laughing-crying emojis and a clip of Rittenhouse’s breakdown.
