The rookie sensation, known for his impressive performances on the court, has a significant following on the platform. In a past interview, he expressed his fondness for TikTok, stating, “I think a lot of NBA guys started to get on it, and it’s become one of the biggest social media platforms.” However, recent TikTok videos allegedly linked to Liv Cook have stirred controversy
The controversy has not only cast a shadow over Giddey’s promising career but has also raised questions about the NBA’s image as an organization.
Giddey and his representatives have remained tight-lipped about the allegations. The silence only adds fuel to the speculation, with many pleading for the NBA to intervene and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
Until proven otherwise, Giddey continues to face the assumption of guilt, creating a challenging situation for both the player and the league.
The controversy took a more serious turn when screenshots and videos circulated online, showing Giddey with his arms around Liv Cook, the alleged minor in question.
The seriousness of the situation prompted some fans to suggest that Giddey should be released from the OKC Thunder roster, although no official statement has been made by the organization.

One particularly alarming aspect of the controversy is the age of Liv Cook, who is reportedly a sophomore in high school.
While the age of consent in the state of Oklahoma is 16, the situation becomes more complex if Liv is indeed 15 years old, as suggested by the initial post.
The lack of context regarding the date of the pictures and videos further complicates the legal implications for Giddey.
