Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard should be preparing for the giant match up against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs but some people can really test your patience online.
The Bucks star turned to his IG story to react on the ongoing controversy involving Fox Sports host Joy Taylor who got dragged in a lawsuit filed by hairstylist Noushin Faraji who filed a sexual misconduct case against some of her colleagues FS1 EVP Charlie Dixon and former Undisputed host Skip Bayless.
None of those two women or accused men raised the eyebrows of the usually cold Lillard. It was conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock who many thought was reading himself a little too much.
First, Taylor was named in the lawsuit as someone who got to where she is now because he slept with prominent people to get the part.
Several media personalities joined the conversation, released their unsolicited opinion, including Whitlock who released a statement that left many dumbfounded.
Lillard is one of those.
“In what world?” he wrote on his Instagram story.
What was Damian Lillard reacting to?
First, Whitlock expressed disappointment over Taylor for the controversy saying she is what many look up to for women empowerment because of her rise.
Joy Taylor is a symbol of this whole feminist movement, this whole Black queens movement, this whole DEI movement. This whole sharing everything with women, and, ‘Hey there’s gotta be a woman host on all of these shows.’
Then he propped up himself up by saying he can do what those in lawsuit can do because he is capable.
The only thing Jason Whitlock is capable of is eating corn on the cob the long way! Fat fuck!!! https://t.co/vtkuvTmC97

“I know what I’m capable of,” he said in his show. “And that big rack of hers that she showed off constantly, and that peanut butter skin—I said to myself, ‘Jay, stay away.’”
People thought he was sexist with such comment.
Lillard might have just said what everyone is thinking.
