More on this storyline
Meyers Leonard is breaking his silence and giving his first on-camera interview to TMZ Sports after using an anti-Semitic slur … addressing the bonds he’s formed with the Jewish community, death threats he’s received, and his desire to return to the basketball court. “It’s hard to explain,” Leonard told us out in Beverly Hills. “The people who have been the most loving and the most compassionate, showing the most grace, have been so many people from the Jewish community.” -via TMZ.com / October 8, 2021
“I can honestly sit and talk for an hour about this. About all the different experiences with little kids in the Jewish community, to teenagers, all the way up to Rabbis, who have just been so generous with their time and so understanding.” Meyers says in the wake of the comments, both he and his family had to deal with terrible abuse online, including people threatening to sexually assault and murder his spouse. “It’s been a very, very long and hard process,” Leonard says … “When the death threats, and my wife is being told ‘don’t leave your house, we’re gonna rape you.’ And, these things. It was hard. So, a lot of these things are difficult to share, but over time I’ve been able to heal.” -via TMZ.com / October 8, 2021
