Who is Olivia O’Brien, the woman who captured widespread attention at the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets?
During a crucial game in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers secured their first win against the Nuggets in twelve attempts, reducing their series deficit. However, the focus unexpectedly shifted from the game to O’Brien in the stands. Clad in a tight white top, she became the centre of viral attention for her eye-catching appearance, reminiscent of Famke Janssen’s portrayal in the X-Men films.
The interest in O’Brien wasn’t confined to the arena; online discussions about her overshadowed conversations about the Lakers’ potential postseason comeback, even after their 119-108 victory over the defending NBA champions at the Crypto.com Arena.
Olivia O’Brien is already well-known beyond this viral moment. As a pop and R&B singer, she rose to fame with her 2016 hit “I hate u, I love u,” a collaboration with Gnash. The song reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and received multi-platinum certification.
Born November 26, 1999, in Thousand Oaks, California, O’Brien began her music career early, writing and recording songs that often explore themes of love, heartbreak, and personal adversity. Her debut EP, “It’s Not That Deep,” was released in 2017, further establishing her musical career.
O’Brien’s online presence includes over 1.3 million followers on Instagram. Her regular updates and engaging content have made her a social media favourite, especially among Los Angeles Lakers fans.
