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
00:00:45.920
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
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
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?
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
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.
