Odell Beckham, Jr. Responds After Being The Victim Of A Terribly NSFW Image Hoax On Social Media

For the second time in a year, Giants rookie Odell Beckham, Jr. was the target of a bizarre web of lies, though this recent one wasn’t nearly as serious. If you recall in May of 2014, a woman named Erica Mendez claimed she was Beckham’s fiance, and that he had cheated on her and fathered a child with another woman. She told her story to everyone who would listen, including the always reputable Radar Online. None of it was true. Not a single world. Beckham didn’t even know Erica Mendez.

Fast forward one year, and Beckham’s good name is being tainted again. On Friday, an extremely NSFW image appeared on Twitter, claiming to be Beckham engaged in oral sex with a woman (some say it was Instagram model Amber Rose). The face was not visible, but the hair in the picture was similar to Beckham’s.

That of course led to some outrageous claims on Twitter.

You get the idea.

The rumor got so big that Beckham had to Instagram pics of his hair as proof.

On Monday evening, an angry Beckham addressed the issue on Twitter.

Sure, this is much ado about nothing, more or less Internet fodder. But it is curious. Two hoaxes in less than a year? This one wasn’t nearly as calculated (or detrimental) as the last, but it’s still very bizarre. NFL players generally have a large target on their back for this kind of stuff. Perhaps Beckham’s bullseye is just bigger than most. Or maybe, just maybe, someone has it out for him?
