Savannah James attempted to break a prejudice set around her following an uncanny confession. It’s a difficult business being the wife of an NBA superstar, LeBron James. The public always has its eyes set on them. In her recent podcast episode of Everybody’s Crazy, Savannah confessed that admiration makes her “uncomfortable” right after interacting with a fan. However, the superstar’s wife, before the situation could escalate, dropped an important clarification on his Instagram.

Mrs. James took to her IG stories and shared a candid picture of her. It wasn’t a joyful picture but the picture of the 37-year-old, staring with a straight face. Savannah just didn’t leave at that. She mocked herself with a fitting caption. It read, “I don’t know why people say I look unapproachable,” with two crying emojis. She also added, “I’m really so nice.”

It may seem like a casual IG story, but considering Savannah’s uncanny confession, this seems like a follow-up response. In the latest episode of Everybody’s Crazy, a fan named Lauren joined the show. It’s a show centered around “crazy” stories and fans call up to talk about their crazy story. However, Lauren didn’t really touch upon that instead, she expressed her admiration for the James family.

After hanging up the call, the show’s host, April McDaniel, said, “Admiration is sweet.” But, Mrs. James immediately said“It is, but it makes me uncomfortable.” Nevertheless, McDaniel continued to express why Savannah attracted a lot of admiration.

She added, “I get why people are like admire you cuz I feel like so many people don’t hold themselves with a level of respect in class and you just did it and you made it look so easy although you actually did care about certain things people didn’t think you did.”

Savannah James “is nice to everyone”

This wasn’t the first time when Savannah got caught up in a similar scenario. A few months later, the star entrepreneur went viral on social media for a bizarre rumor. A narrative almost trended for a week, claiming that she would only take pictures with female fans and decline requests from male fans. Moreover, a video of her walking away from two fans at the LA Lakers game also trended along with that.

While the 37-year-old remained silent about the accusation, the star’s stylist, Casey Billingsley, cleared the air. He wrote, “Let’s not be weird this year, guys. ‘Preciate it… Also, let’s DEAD THIS. That’s me walking behind her in this clip… As you can see, the 2 male fans legit came up to her with their cameras already out & in her face attempting to film her as she was walking to see a friend. They didn’t ask to take a pic. Savannah is nice to everyone,” on his social media.

A few months later, she began her podcast show, and it became an instant hit. When she created a poll asking the fans if they wanted a season 2, 92% of them voted for the show, proving that she had won their hearts back.
