In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Oklahoma City Thunder star Josh Giddey, renowned attorney Gloria Allred has been enlisted to represent the minor at the center of the probe. TMZ Sports has learned that the Newport Beach Police Department is examining whether Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with the underage girl, but the girl and her family have been uncooperative with law enforcement.
The addition of Gloria Allred to the legal team raises questions about the direction of the case. Speculations abound, ranging from her potential role in facilitating communication with law enforcement to engaging in discussions with Giddey’s representatives regarding a possible settlement.
Upon reaching out to Allred for comment, she responded, “We represent the family, and we have no comment.”
Josh Giddey, a 21-year-old rising star in the NBA, has found himself under scrutiny as the investigation unfolds. Allred, known for her involvement in high-profile cases, including representing over 50 women in the Bill Cosby misconduct accusations and working with women in the Anthony Weiner case, brings a formidable legal presence to this sensitive matter.
The details of the alleged relationship, which became public last weekend, still pose numerous questions, including the girl’s age, the location of the purported incidents, and the nature of their association. The investigation is expected to be a protracted one, and while uncertainties persist, it is evident that the family now has a tenacious advocate in Gloria Allred.
