Julieanna Goddard, a 33-year-old social media influencer popularly known as YesJulz, recently addressed rumors from 2014 that alleged she had an affair with NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
In an effort to clear her name, Goddard released a video fervently denying the accusations surrounding her and the married basketball player. “I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James,” Goddard asserted. ” Clearly, we were friends, I was working in Miami, and I was one of the most popular party organizers in Miami.”
Goddard didn’t shy away from revealing that her romantic interest during that period was, in fact, one of James’ NBA colleagues. However, she didn’t delve into the specifics of who the player was.
Friendship and Respect for Savannah James
Goddard indicated that her friendship with James faded despite their past association. However, she ensured they still maintained a cordial relationship.
In her video, YesJulz also expressed her high regard for Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, emphasizing that she would never allegedly disrespect her. “I have the utmost respect for Savannah [James],” she said.
LeBron, who tied the knot with Savannah in 2013 and shares three children with her, has yet to comment on these rumors linked to YesJulz.
Why the Rumors Do Not Add Up
As she concluded her video, Goddard highlighted a glaring inconsistency in the rumors. She pointed out that if they were true, it would be unlikely for James to share photos of them on social media platforms.
“Do you think that somebody who is married would tweet and take pictures with and be around somebody that they’re [expletive] doing something with?” she queried, leaving viewers to ponder the authenticity of the allegations.
