Basketball legend LeBron James is not a fan of Lori Loughlin’s prison sentence.
The 35-year-old athlete posted a screenshott of the disgraced actress in a recent Vanity Fair article, which has the headline, “Lori Loughlin will get to serve her two-month sentence at the prison of her choice.”
“Of her what,” James wrote with a series of exclamation points and question marks at the beginning of his impassioned Instagram post. “I’m laughing cause sometimes you have to just to stop from crying! Don’t make no damn sense to me.”
“We just want the same treatment if committed of same crime that’s all. Is that asking for [too] much,” he continued. “Let me guess, it is huh. Yeah I know!! We’ll just keep pushing forward and not expecting the handouts! STRONG, BLACK & POWERFUL!”
His Friday evening post has since racked up more than 1.49 million likes.
The majority of the commenters under James’ post were of a similar mindset and shared their resentment about the “Full House” actress getting a choice in where she serves her sentence.
“Must be nice,” quipped James’ top commenter, Yung Taco – AKA Travis Bennett, who is an Internet personality, writer, director, and DJ.
Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis also took a moment to share her thoughts on the matter.
