During the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, LeBron got into an argument with courtside fans, Chris and Juliana Carlos. In a now-deleted Instagram video, Juliana gave her account, saying, "All of the sudden, LeBron says something to my husband, and I see this and I stand up. And I go, 'Don't f*cking talk to my husband.' And he looks at me and he goes, 'Sit the f*ck down, bitch.' And I go, 'Don't f*cking call me a bitch. You sit the f*ck down. Get the f*ck out of here. Don't f*cking talk to my husband like that.'"
Referees were then forced to stop the game as Juliana continued to argue with her mask off. Eventually, security was called and escorted Juliana, her husband, and two other fans out of the game.
