While the internet was losing its mind over his wife’s explosive allegations, Dwight Howard was courtside at a Lakers game, smiling and waving like nothing happened.
On Sunday, March 8, the former NBA star was spotted sitting courtside, looking relaxed and completely unfazed by Amy Luciani’s viral claims about his alleged cocaine use. At one point, he even stood up, grinning and waving to the crowd after being shown on the jumbotron.
Howard hasn’t publicly addressed any of Luciani’s claims, which has left social media split. Some fans are baffled by his apparent nonchalance. Others think the courtside appearance was a calculated flex — a way of saying “I’m good” without actually saying anything at all.
Whatever the strategy is, the contrast between Luciani’s emotional social media posts and Howard’s carefree courtside vibes is jarring. When your spouse is publicly accusing you of serious issues and you respond by watching basketball with a smile, the internet is going to have opinions.
This story is developing faster than anyone can keep up with, and Howard’s silence is only making it louder.
