Carlos found himself facing the heat on social media, with netizens hitting out at the significant age gap between him and his wife Juliana. His wife famously was branded as 'courtside Karen' by LeBron James, a term for white women seeming to be entitled or demanding things beyond the normal. This all began after Juliana allegedly claimed that LeBron James started an altercation with Carlos. The duo was hurling abuses at each other before she stood up for her husband. The game was quickly paused, security officials rushed in, and Chris Carlos and his wife were ejected out of the State Farm Arena.

The NBA have now launched an investigation following the 'Courtside Karen' Instagram rant, where Juliana claimed that it was LeBron James who started the altercation. James meanwhile after the game said that the couple had gone a little overboard, and it was too close to comfort for him, but their actions did not warrant a sending off from the State Farm Arena. Juliana Carlos can be seen removing her mask during her argument with LeBron James, and the 25-year-old apologised for her actions on Instagram. Meanwhile, Carlos has a long-standing hatred for the Lakers star, and has time and again showcased it on his Instagram account. However, following the excessive trolling, the Atlanta Hawks fan has gone private on social media.
