Katya Elise Henry trolled on Twitter after Lakers clinch NBA title

That very post was subject to social media trolling on Sunday night after the Lakers trounced the Heat in Game 6 to clinch the NBA title. Katya Elise Henry's two-word message came back to haunt her as fans absolutely hijacked her Twitter profile, roasting the model/fitness influencer for her premature post. The social media trolling reached to such a point that Henry was forced to go private on Twitter just to stop the barrage of comments and mentions.

The social media trolling, however, did not stop there. Fans were quick to blast Henry for her relationship with Tyler Herro, who endured a difficult outing in Game 6. The Heat rookie managed a paltry seven points, three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes of play. While Herro was one of the leading players for his side en route to the finals, a series against the Lakers proved too much for the rookie as he generally struggled to impose himself during the six-game series. 

Katya Elise Henry, 26, began dating Tyler Herro during the pandemic. This was when the duo frequently exchanged tweets. Ever since their first public social media exchange in March, the couple has been seen dancing together in TikTok videos and Instagram posts.
