Kyle Rittenhouse blasted NBA superstar LeBron James for making comments about him during his criminal trial, according to TMZ. 

Appearing on The BlazeTV’s You Are Here, the 18-year-old said that he was a fan of James until he made comments about Rittenhouse breaking down during the trial, where he was accused of murdering two men and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“I liked LeBron,” he said.  “And then I’m like, ‘You know what, f*** you, LeBron.'” 

James took to Twitter last month, retweeting a video of Rittenhouse crying on the stand.  

“What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court,” The Los Angeles Laker star tweeted.  

“I was a Lakers fan too before he said that,” Rittenhouse said. “I was really pissed off that he said that.” 

Rittenhouse was acquitted last month by a Wisconsin jury in the killing of Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and shooting Gaige Grosskreutz during last year’s protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.  

He was charged and then acquitted on first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety.   

Following his trial, Rittenhouse spoke to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, saying he wasn’t a racist and supported the Black Lives Matter movement.
