LaLa -- Racist Mavericks Fans Attacked Me First

LalaCarmelo Anthony's fiance LaLa Vazquez has released a statement claiming racial taunts and violent threats from Dallas Mavericks fans incited her at last night's NBA playoff game:

"Obviously the play-off games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable. The fans were totally out of control.

What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn't show the abuse that was taking place."


Footage shot at last night's game showed LaLa cursing and getting hostile as security tried to escort her out of the stands.

The Mavs and the Nugs are set to face off again tomorrow night.

61. Does anyone find it ironic that LaLa is one of the "Deans" of the new season of Charm School? Maybe she'd be better off as a student...

62. Some of you have the nerve to be racist towards non-whites, yet haven't mastered your own mother tongue - English. Your grammar, and spelling, is horrible. The one's you're being racist towards can speak and write your language better than you!

63. Always the race card...always use the RACE CARD! We live in a world full of technology and your telling me fans were being racist and brutal and you could not capture on your phone or camera? Get real LaLa....You are not famous enough for people to taunt you into a scwable. Maybe you can be one of the girls on Charm School.

64. How else is a person supposed to react when they're being racially accosted? How would some of you white people liked it if a non-white person sat behind you and called you, your mother, your father and your child a honkey all night? What if you were surrounded by mostly non-whites? Let's see how you'd react.

65. if she is on a show called Charm School I hope she plays the role of the loud, foul mouth, immigrant maid. She would when an Emmy I'm sure, doing what comes naturally to her. I hope her husband's team loses.

67. She forgot the number one rule...Don't say nothing unless you can back it up!I feel sorry for her. She was outnumbered in a tough situation, I wonder how much the Cuban incident had to do with it. Next time stay home...she's lucky she was sitting in the front rows of an upity, overpriced NBA hoops game. If that happend at a Raiders game or a hockey game...she woulda been taken home on a stretcher!!!!!!

68. Hey, you can't always be a lady when you're forced to defend your own honor, or what you stand for. Ask any woman that's gone to war. They put you out in the field, you're not going to sit there with your legs crossed.

69. I'm Mexican and I was at the game and Lala was cursing everyone out in Spanish because she didn't think they would understand her. She is a disgrace and the officials were right to throw her out. I would have done so myself because her type always behave badly. Adios Lala, go back to new York.

Play the race card to excuse your trashy behavior.
Loser.

71. #83, STFU. Most of you Mexicans are racist against anyone with a noticeable drop of African ancestry, even among your own nationality. You're not even considering what they said to her.
