Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, wore an all-black suit to his senior prom before starting his collegiate basketball career next season. The 18-year-old guard, who will be playing for USC, donned a bespoke Chrome Hearts suit with Dior shoes for the event at Sierra Canyon High School in California. His jacket had Chrome Hearts’ signature hearts design on the front, back, and cuffs, with a white one on the outer seam of his pants. Bronny decided to go shirtless underneath the designer jacket. He was seen at the prom with Peyton Gelfuso, his rumored girlfriend, who wore a strapless black satin dress. Photos of the event were shared by his mother, Savannah James, on Instagram.
Over the weekend, Bronny, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, got dressed up for his senior prom.
A photo was taken of the 18-year-old guy with his alleged girlfriend, Peyton Gelfuso who looked stunning in a black outfit.
On Instagram, Savannah James, mother of the young basketball star, Bronny, proudly shared pictures of her son posing in front of their home and a black Porsche. The pictures were captioned with “Prom 2023” and black heart emojis on either side. Reports suggest that the young woman posing with Bronny is Gelfuso, who previously attended Sierra Canyon High School and currently attends Southern Methodist University in Texas. It seems that she splits her time between Los Angeles and Dallas and is a member of the Tri Delta sorority. It may be remembered that last year when Bronny attended prom with Gelfuso, he faced racist attacks for taking a white girl to his high school prom.
Gelfuso was a former student of Sierra Canyon High School, the same school where Bronny, who is now a senior, currently studies.
The attractive blonde woman is a student at Texas’ Southern Methodist University (SMU).
For the event, the security officer wore a specially tailored Chrome Hearts outfit in black and paired it with Dior shoes.
The customized suit of Chrome Hearts had heart designs at the front and back. However, some individuals on the internet expressed discontent over Bronny’s choice of taking a “light-skinned” girl to prom, which led to an influx of negative commentary on social media. Some criticized the pairing for not choosing a black queen, while others labeled the girl as a “gold digger.” Several people expressed disappointment over his selection and shared memes and GIFs. In response to the backlash, old photos of LeBron at his prom with a white woman emerged online. Although these images were first published in 2017 by someone claiming to be LeBron’s date’s niece, they resurfaced due to the current outrage over Bronny’s prom companion.
Bronny, who attended his high school prom last year with a white girl named Gelfuso, was subjected to disgusting racist comments and insults by online trolls.
Online users expressed their displeasure towards his choice of taking a ‘light-skinned’ person to prom by sharing their opinions on Twitter.
Following the recent controversy involving Bronny, online photos of his father LeBron attending his high school proms with a white woman have resurfaced. This year, Savannah shared pictures of Bronny alone on Instagram, instead of a couple’s photo with Gelfuso. Unfortunately, some individuals in the comments section made racist remarks and asked to see Bronny’s date, insinuating that LeBron had previously taken a white girl to his prom. Bronny and Gelfuso have not yet confirmed their relationship, but she has posted photos from what appears to be the James family home. Last week, Bronny signed a letter of intent to play basketball at the University of Southern California (USC).
Commenters mentioned the hateful racist comments that arose from last year’s photos. According to 24/7sports.com, the younger James is a five-star recruit and a highly ranked prospect in California, the combo guard position, and the entire country. USC, Memphis, and Ohio State have offered Bronny scholarships, and Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Oregon have expressed interest. LeBron has expressed his desire to play on the same NBA team as his son, but he recently hinted at retirement. However, he softened his stance and stated that he would support Bronny’s journey, even if they didn’t play together as father and son in the NBA. Following the Lakers’ Game 3 loss on Saturday, he said, “I’ve done what I’ve had to do in this league, and my son is going to take his journey.”
It has been reported that LeBron James, known for his skills on the basketball court as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, has expressed his desire to play alongside his son in the future NBA games. This statement has caused quite a stir amongst fans and experts who are curious about the possibility of such a scenario.
Last week, USC welcomed a new 6-foot-3 guard who signed his National Letter of Intent to play for their team. As his parents and siblings, we fully support him in whatever decision he makes regarding his journey, even if it’s not aligned with our aspirations for him. It’s important for us to respect his choices and let him do what’s best for himself. On Monday night, LeBron James expressed uncertainty about his NBA future, giving a cryptic response to questions following LA’s elimination by the Nuggets. He stated that he has a lot to think about in terms of his future with the game of basketball.
