Rittenhouse told hosts Elijah Schaffer and Sydney Watson, "I was a Lakers fan too before he said that. I was really pissed off when he said that because I liked LeBron, and then I’m like, you know what, f*ck you, LeBron."

Lawsuits are also possible against his former attorneys John Pierce, and Lin Wood, who Rittenhouse have said were out for their benefit after inserting themselves into his defense after his Aug. 26, 2020, arrest.

Dave Hancock, a spokesman and former Navy Seal who used to work for Wood, said in a podcast published Tuesday that the family continues to fundraise through FreeKyleUSA.org to pay for Rittenhouse’s security costs and also potential legal fees.
