On Tuesday, Kyle Rittenhouse announced that he is making plans to sue LeBron James for the NBA star’s social media attacks.
In November, James mocked Rittenhouse for crying on the stand during testimony as he faced charges of murder in Wisconsin. Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder and the court ruled he acted in self-defense when he was attacked by three people during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August of 2020.
James blasted the teenager’s courtroom angst, tweeting, “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”

The 18-year-old was overcome with emotion when testifying about his actions during the riot which was instigated by radical Black Lives Matter activists.
Now, Rittenhouse is warning that he intends to launch a series of lawsuits against the many members of the entertainment industry who called him a murderer and otherwise attacked his integrity during the trial that saw him exonerated.
Appearing on the Frontlines podcast with host Drew Hernandez, Rittenhouse noted that James will be getting a letter from an attorney notifying him that Rittenhouse is suing him for defamation.
“Anybody who defamed me, or lied about me, we’re just gonna send them a letter and then deal with them in a courtroom.,” Rittenhouse told Hernandez.

James also made waves on Twitter last year by tweeting a threat to white police officers with a message reading, “You’re Next.”
The NBA star’s threat came on the heels of the shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant who was killed by a Columbus, Ohio, police officer after she began attacking people with a knife.
James later deleted the tweet.

I hope Kyle bankrupts the basketball player.
Outstanding...I hope he sues the hell out of all of ‘em!!!
I hope he’s successful. If it manages to make celebrities shut up about things they know nothing about it will be a huge boost. They used their high profile platforms to endanger the life and freedom of a regular person on trial for his life.
Great ! Put a sock in da mouth of the big monkey
Only if James has been as big an idiot with his money as he has with his mouth.
King James has deep pockets, and I hope Kyle turns them inside out.
Not likely. The ball dribbling retard is worth $500 million.
Awesome!!!!
Hope he gets every penny from that tool!!
One of LeeBrown's Twitter minions got my main Twitt account suspended over this issue.
I hope Floppin' Jimmy gets the civil suit baseball bat up his keester.
That cop in Columbus has a much better case. I hope he sued.
Sue for 500 million.
Sue for 250 million if Lebron apologizes and says Michael Jordan is greater than him... and says both on TV.
Good first start.
There are plenty of others to go after.
Slander, character assassination and defamation are viable court cases, but nowhere in the law does it say you have the “right not to be offended”. (Rush used to say that frequently.)
It will be a circus, but he has no chance of getting any money.
This headline gave an angel their wings.
Suggestion for Kyle:
Have a Basketballs made that resemble the racist SOB’s head. Organize a game outside his home.
This seems like a weak case. He should stick to suing people who called him a white supremacist or a domestic terrorist.
