The man in Jeanie Buss’ life is being dragged online even if she may be in a happy place with the old tweets of Jay Mohr viral on Twitter
The couple, who have been together for a number of years, recently took their relationship to the next level after the comic went down on one knee and proposed. The Lakers president, 61, and comedian Jay Mohr, 52, made the announcement. Having only recently announced their engagement, Mohr and Buss began their quiet romance in 2017.
Old Tweets Of Jay Mohr Boyfriend Of Lakers Owner Jeanie Buss Using The N Word Go Viral On Twitter
Social media investigators discovered old messages of Mohr using the N-word on Twitter shortly after the announcement of their engagement. In a number of old tweets, Mohr casually uses the N-Word while discussing a variety of subjects.
Both Mohr and Buss have not yet commented as of the time of writing. Although Mohr did not seem to be aiming to be openly racist or opinionated, his use of the phrase is still offensive because he is a white male, and there will undoubtedly be consequences.

Report: (VIEWERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED ) Lakers fans are angry and questioning why Jeanie Buss the President of the Los Angeles Lakers is dating someone who publicly states racial slurs towards black people

The fact that LeBron James plays for the squad and is so outspoken about everything will make it something to watch. Given how the league is tightening down on racist slurs, the tweets placed Mohr in a world of difficulty. It will be interesting to observe if these affect Buss in the days to come.
Robert Sarver, the previous owner of the Phoenix Suns, has come under fire for using the N-word frequently while in charge of the organisation. Earlier this year, Sarver agreed to sell the Suns and Phoenix Mercury, and just this week, the massive $4 billion deal was finalised.
Jeanie Buss has had enough.
When Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal was thanked for his kind gesture in a tweet by the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, fans discovered that she had disabled comments, and she didn’t take the responses lying down. The Lakers’ owner expressed her gratitude for Shaq’s thoughtful gifts by posting a message on Twitter. Shaq had sent Buss flowers and a signed letter wishing her happiness.
Thank you @SHAQ I appreciate your thoughtfulness. The flowers are beautiful!Congratulations on all the money raised by THE EVENT for The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation @shaqfoundation – everyone should join us October 7, 2023 in Las Vegas. Shaq always brings in the MEGA-stars!! pic.twitter.com/IrLU19jTqJ

A Lakers fan tweeted her a quote and let her know that the comments on the aforementioned post were closed. In her furious reply, Buss warned against attracting more Lakers haters upset about the team’s poor play and roster construction to her post of gratitude to Shaq and his humanitarian organisation.
Lol she turned her comments off😂 https://t.co/qaPz1B4ox3

Buss hasn’t disabled comments on all of her tweets, but it’s evident that she intended to shield at least that one from criticism. Being a member of the Lakers organisation, let alone being its owner, is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. The die-hard purple and gold supporters are as devoted as they come, but their allegiance comes at the cost of having high standards.
