LeBron James is a dominant force out on the basketball court and when it comes to social media, he’s just as potent. When he speaks, people tend to listen, for better or for worse. Last night, James had some late night thoughts that he felt were necessary to share with all of his fans out there. In fact, LeBron took to Instagram where he offered up some fresh insight on what love is and how it can actually be compared to, yes, that’s right, flatulence.

“Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it’s probably shit,” LeBron’s photo read. The basketball star then followed up the photo with a caption, reading: “A lot of Shitty ???folks around here! Be aware! Glad ain’t no forcing around me and mine! Plenty of ????? scents around here!” 

With this latest piece of philosophical beauty, LeBron has gone full dad joke mode. Only a father screaming Taco Tuesday at the dinner table would come up with a gem like this. Fans in the comments section seemed pretty confused by it all and the post ended up going viral on social media as it crossed over onto Twitter. It’s yet another case of LeBron’s words being taken as gospel by ravenous fans.

Hopefully for LeBron, he won’t have to force any love in the future.

The Wendy Williams Show has been on the air for nearly twelve whole years so for the host to say that she’s never accidentally passed gas while filming is pretty unrealistic. She’s bound to have conveniently forgotten about a time or two when she let one rip on her famous purple chair, hoping that nobody caught on. The star’s fans were all over her last week when she seemingly allowed an audible squeak to exit her body, lifting up one leg casually and pausing her speech to complete the gas-passing. In her own accord though, Wendy says that things have been taken out of proportion and the sound was actually coming from backstage. Riiiiiight…

“Let me tell you something right now, okay?” started Wendy Williams as she explained “fartgate” on a recent episode of her show according to DailyMail. “I don’t lean over like this to release a fart, I lean over like this because it’s comfortable. If I sit [straight up] all the time, it’s heavy on my spine. I like to release my hips and lean. I’ve been doing this for 11 years on this show. I have never farted once on this show. As a matter of fact, I barely fart, you know why? Gas gets released several different ways and mine is belching because all I do is talk.”

A producer on the program appeared on stage to back up his boss, explaining that they were conducting a science experiment backstage but, because they didn’t have the proper equipment to fill up a fish tank, a noise was being exhibited from behind the stage and it sounded as though Wendy was letting one rip. Uh-huh. Sure.

Do you think this is a convenient excuse or is Wendy actually telling the truth?

When is Wendy Williams not making headlines? For somebody that reports on all Hot Topics happening in pop culture, she sure is a regular in the tabloids for problems in her relationship, injuries preventing her from hosting her show, real estate updates, and even apparently for passing gas on television. It’s one of the most embarrassing things that could ever happen to a talk show host; accepting a job live on the air has its benefits but if you’ve had a heavy helping of beans the night before, you might want to consider handling your business before arriving on set because Wendy Williams reportedly let one out coyly on her show but fans heard the squeak from out of her famous purple chair. Now, everyone is clowning her to the bathroom and back for apparently farting on air.

While discussing Odell Beckham Jr’s recent arrest, Wendy Williams seemingly felt a need to relieve herself of some stomach bloating, letting out a fart and casually lifting her leg up to the side. She tried to play it off as though nothing happened but the replay shows otherwise. Among viewers of the show, singer Summer Walker shared a clip of the host letting it rip, laughing in her caption and replaying the incident in slow-motion. Fans are convinced that the fart is real but, so far, Wendy has not commented on the matter.

It might be worth it to tune in again today to see if Williams says anything about her apparent gas issue.
