Renowned sportscaster Skip Bayless was the victim of a social media hack on Tuesday night. The NBA and NFL analyst trended online for all the wrong reasons after his X account was hacked by someone who decided to mercilessly troll the 72-year-old.
The hacker sent out a myriad of now-deleted tweets, which included accusations about how Bayless allegedly "talks to escorts in his twitter dms." The hacker even threatened to leak private conversations that supposedly prove that the veteran announcer has been "cheating on his wife."
Given Bayless' relationship with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, it comes as no surprise that the hacker dragged the NBA's all-time leading scorer into what has become a scandalous turn of events.
"I just wanna apologize to Lebron, he owns me," read the tweet. "I'm just an old (expletive) who has nothing going on with his life. Im sorry king lebron"
In a couple of other tweets, the hacker stated that LeBron "owns skip bayless." The hacker also called out how Bayless' "fanboys defend him in the comments."
Bayless was able to delete the majority of the tweets, but some remain on the account as of writing.
Bayless has earned a reputation for being a massive LeBron critic. In fact, James has made it a point not to acknowledge Bayless' existence by ignoring him for pretty much the Lakers All-Star's entire career.
