She was also trolled on Twitter, where many believed a 25-year-old should not be engaging in such arguments. Some users even had a problem with her language. In the series of videos she uploaded on Instagram, Carlos calls out James, stating that the NBA star called out her husband first. She added that she would always defend her husband, who was apparently also engaging in a back and forth with James.

He claimed to need this as a player, even explaining that she need not have been thrown out. However, the four-time NBA champion believes that he and Chris Carlos were having their own conversation when she jumped in.
