King Juwan, a Twitter user, has stirred up the Twitter community with his criticism of US blogs TMZ and ShadeRoom for reporting the news of Kobe Bryant’s death before his family was informed.
The Twitter user expressed that the family should have been the first to be notified before the public release of the news. Some other Twitter users believe that someone violated ethical standards while TMZ was just doing their job by reporting the news and should not be held accountable.
Bryant, a revered Basketball player who dedicated his entire career to the LA Lakers, tragically passed away on Sunday as a result of a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
Kobe, aged 41, was accompanied by his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and 7 others, all of whom perished in the accident.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Kobe’s eldest daughter, Natalia, suffered an asthmatic attack and had to be rushed to the hospital after learning of her father and sister’s demise. King Juwan believes that such negativity is what these websites thrive on, and therefore, they should be boycotted.
