Josh Giddey’s family has seemingly broken their silence on the controversial situation that he finds himself in. Giddey has landed in hot water after he allegedly got into a relationship with an underage girl, but his family reportedly believes he has been tricked.
“They are the most down-to-earth people you could meet,” a source told the Daily Mail. “They’re very humble. Josh is a good kid and knowing the family, I thought there’s something more to this because he’s not like that. The consensus is he’s been royally stitched up.”
“Stitched up” is Australian slang for getting tricked and if this report is on point, then it is pretty clear that Giddey’s family firmly believes he had no idea the girl was underage. The source also stated that no one who knows the 21-year-old believes he would ever knowingly enter into a relationship with someone who wasn’t of age.
Giddey was painted as a down-to-earth individual who was never told by his family that he was a superstar. It was claimed that he doesn’t view himself as being better than everyone else just because he is so talented.
Hopefully, the truth will come to light at some point. For now, Giddey continues to play for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Australian is averaging 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game this season. Head coach Mark Daigneault stated that based on the information they have, this wasn’t even a decision they had to make, implying it was business as usual.
Josh Giddey’s Alleged Girlfriend And Family Are Refusing To Cooperate With Authorities
It wasn’t clear at first if the authorities were going to get involved in this situation. Then earlier this week, it was reported that Giddey was being investigated by the police for his alleged relationship with an underage girl.
This would have been a tricky situation to handle as it is, but it has been made just that little bit more difficult now. That’s because Giddey’s alleged girlfriend and her family are refusing to cooperate with authorities, as per TMZ.
No one can say for sure why they have adopted this stance. It could be for a variety of reasons but if they continue to do so, then this investigation might not end up getting anywhere.
Andrew Bogut Made Some Interesting Claims On The Situation
Many of the talking heads have remained silent on this matter because it is such a tricky situation. Giddey’s countryman and former NBA player Andrew Bogut is in fact one of the few who have openly spoken about it.
Some interesting claims were made by him, with Bogut saying the girl lied about her age and that the Thunder knew about the relationship, but had no concerns. You’d assume in this situation, that the Thunder, like Giddey, weren’t aware that she was underage, which is why they weren’t sounding the alarm.
Bogut made it clear that if Giddey was actually seeking out underage girls, then he’d apologize for everything he had claimed but he believes that is not the case. The 39-year-old also stated that he had heard the girl’s family won’t be filing charges and he has been proven right on that matter at least, based on what was reported by TMZ.
This is certainly a situation that won’t be resolved very quickly and it will be closely monitored for the coming weeks and months.
