JustPearlyThings - Josh Giddey May LOSE MILLIONS because 16 Year old LIED about her AGE

00:00:00.000 The last topic is an especially touchy topic. Oklahoma City Thunder's Josh Giddey goes viral

00:00:06.520 for alleged explicit photos with an underage girl. NBA player Josh Giddey is facing potential

00:00:12.920 statutory rape allegations after pictures and videos surface online showing him with an

00:00:17.900 allegedly underage girl. The girl identified as Liv Cook reportedly claims to have had sexual

00:00:23.900 intercourse with Giddey. Giddey is 21 years old while Cook is a high school sophomore.

00:00:28.600 The age of consent is 16, meaning that if Cook is 15, Giddey would be committing a crime.

00:00:34.260 The date of the pictures and videos is unclear, so it is possible that they were taken before

00:00:39.100 Cook turned 16. The Oklahoma City Thunder has not yet made any public statements about the

00:00:44.920 allegation.

00:00:45.920 Over the past couple of days, it was a pretty serious allegation. I know nothing concrete there,

00:00:50.460 but is there anything you can say in this situation?

00:00:52.600 Yeah, I mean, I understand the question, obviously, but no, it's not really common right now.

00:00:57.600 I get the question, guys, and I completely understand you guys want to know about it,

00:01:01.420 but just for right now, I don't have any other questions.

00:01:03.260 A small piece of nightclub footage may be the key that saves Josh Giddey's entire NBA career

00:01:09.680 from the concerning allegations against him. On Friday evening, the NBA confirmed that they

00:01:14.920 are conducting an investigation into the serious allegations that Josh Giddey has had a relationship

00:01:19.780 with an underage girl. While more concerning clues have leaked online apart from initial photos

00:01:24.540 and videos, the new video offers a new light into what could potentially help the Australian

00:01:28.840 players case. A video uploaded by a random Twitter user shows a moment of Josh Giddey with a girl

00:01:34.500 that seems to be Liv Cook. There's only one problem, though. Cook should not be there. If she 1.00

00:01:39.120 is supposed to be a minor, after this new piece of evidence, there are new questions that need to

00:01:43.180 be made. First of all, how did Liv Cook get into a club where only adults are allowed? Did Josh Giddey

00:01:48.600 go into the club knowing he was in there with an alleged minor? Is Liv Cook even a minor,

00:01:53.260 as the allegations suggest? If that is the case, did Liv Cook tell Josh Giddey her real age or did

00:01:58.780 she lie about it even to him? For how long has Josh Giddey known this young woman? If we get around

00:02:04.180 to answering these questions, we will have a less difficult time getting to the bottom of the truth.

00:02:08.300 The NBA needs to look into these questions with objectivity and consider all of the viable options

00:02:13.340 in order to reach the truth. Because right now, Josh Giddey's career is in serious jeopardy.

00:02:18.800 If, for some reason, Giddey had no idea this girl was a minor, he may not be looking at a

00:02:23.240 punishment as severe as he would have if he knowingly dated this young woman. There's always

00:02:27.780 the possibility that Josh was tricked into thinking this girl was over 18, which is quite common amongst

00:02:32.960 young people at that age. But then again, NBA players should not be exposing themselves in

00:02:38.040 such a manner by dating young women who seem a little too young to begin with. Whatever ends up 0.87

00:02:43.000 happening when the investigations are over, someone will have to pay the price. It's also safe to note

00:02:47.720 that the footage still only proves nothing, only that the allegedly underage girl was inside a

00:02:53.100 nightclub illegally. You know, guys, this is an uncomfortable topic. And I think it's an

00:02:57.480 uncomfortable topic because, well, nobody wants to be labeled. I think the death of someone's career

00:03:03.180 is to be labeled a pedo. I don't, I can't think of something worse to call somebody or a worse

00:03:09.880 reputation to have. But my question is, does this young woman bear any responsibility for that night?

00:03:16.500 I mean, if a man at 16 years old robs a store, oftentimes he's tried as an adult. Oftentimes if a

00:03:24.220 kid commits murder at 14, 15 years old, they are tried as an adult. So in this case, does the young

00:03:31.620 woman bear some responsibility for hypothetically tricking a man into thinking that she was of age? 0.94

00:03:38.520 Is she really a sweet, innocent victim that the left is going to paint her out to be? You know,

00:03:45.260 guys, I've been 16 years old before. And at 16, I think you pretty much know what you're doing.

00:03:51.140 This is not me advocating for relationships between adults and minors, obviously. But I think it's

00:03:58.620 unfair to put a guy in a situation where he will have to pay a price when she's lying about her age,

00:04:07.040 allegedly. Now, there are videos on her TikTok account saying that she is above 18.

00:04:15.260 So in this TikTok, she's captioning it that she's over 21. And the question is,

00:04:29.980 if he meets a random girl at a club that you were supposed to be over the age of 21 to get into,

00:04:36.380 why would he assume that she's under the age of 21? And I don't think we can just say she's an 0.93

00:04:41.580 innocent victim in this. And I don't really think it's fair to him that he now has this

00:04:46.660 allegation on his name that he goes for underage women. I don't think that's fair.
