Los Angeles Lakers guards
Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson are reportedly facing sexual harassment allegations.
"The Los Angeles Lakers are investigating allegations that two of their players sexually harassed two women Sunday night in Hollywood,"
Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com reported Monday. "… Lakers spokesman John Black told ESPN on Monday that the team takes this matter ‘very seriously’ and is looking into it but does not have any further comment at this time," Holmes added.
Holmes noted one of the women who Clarkson and Young allegedly harassed is Alexis Jones, an author and co-founder of the nonprofit I Am That Girl. Jones is "an activist trying to stop athletes from committing sexual harassment, sexual abuse and domestic violence," per Holmes, and I Am That Girl "aims to empower women."
The incident reportedly happened Sunday evening, when Jones and her 68-year-old mother were stopped at an intersection near La Brea and Melrose avenues. Jones said a Jeep carrying four men pulled up alongside their car, and the men then made "vulgar, sexual" gestures toward her mother, per Holmes.
