After reports surfaced suggesting Carmelo Anthony was cheating on his wife, La La Anthony, while vacationing in France, Melo decided to take matters into his own hands by putting the rumors to bed.
Anthony took it upon himself to reach out to TMZ Sports with hope of ending the rumors that are "affecting [his] family."
"All them bloggers that's trying to put that out there, that sh*t is not cool at all," Anthony said. "That's not cool at all. Let that family be they family, they married."
On Tuesday, photos went viral showing Melo on a yacht off the coast of France standing near a woman that was not his wife. Things quickly spiraled out of control when it was reported that the pictures were taken on La La's birthday. Carmelo went on an unprecedented apology tour after he reportedly cheated on La La and had a child with the mistress. Somehow Melo was able to salvage his marriage but any rumor of infidelity probably hits harder than before. Melo explains that it was this fact that drove him to openly address the gossip.
"The only reason I'm addressing this is because this is affecting my family now and you got me out here looking crazy," Anthony stated. "Usually I won't address this, but I had to address this... Can't let this one slide, because this sh*t ain't cool no more."
