Photos from Bronny James’ prom showing him posing with a female went viral over the weekend, but it’s only managed to attract criticism.
Bronny, who is the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, recently committed to the University of South Carolina, doing so before his graduation from Sierra Canyon. He attended the prom with rumored girlfriend Peyton Gelfuso, with a photo of the pair making waves over the weekend.
The photo has prompted some backlash online, and it appears it’s because Peyton is white. Some fans have also suggested that the female is only about securing her bag.

Bronny took his time before committing to a college program and he’s expected to be a one-and-done as he is already considered a lottery prospect for 2024.
LeBron has expressed a desire to play with his son in the NBA but hinted he could retire after the Los Angeles Lakers got swept from the playoffs on Monday night. Of course, it’s hard to believe the four-time NBA champion will actually call it quits, despite having played 20 seasons in the pros.
He still has a lot left in the tank as he averaged close to 30 points a game this season and dragged the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals after what initially appeared to be a failed campaign.
