In May 2010, gossip blog Terez Owens published a scathing report about an alleged affair between Delonte West and LeBron James’ mother, Gloria James. “My uncle has been told that Delonte has been banging Gloria James (LeBron’s Mom) for some time now,” a source claimed. “Somehow LeBron found out before game four and it destroyed their chemistry and divided the team.” In response to the bizarre claim, James’ lawyer sent the website a cease and desist letter — which was later obtained by TMZ – deeming the rumor “categorically false and per se defamatory.”
However, the rumor was further exacerbated after former Houston Rockets star Calvin Murphy claimed that he was also made aware of the alleged relationship. “It ain’t no rumor,” Murphy said (per HuffPost). He went on to suggest that the speculation was “absolutely true,” and even claimed that others were also involved in sexual relationships with James’ mother.
