A statement issued today by LaLa Vazquez says the fiancee of Carmelo Anthony was subject to racial slurs by some Dallas Mavericks fans during Game 4 Monday night in Dallas.
The statement released by her publicist says Vazquez left the game after being "verbally attacked by some opposing fans, who were using racial slurs, calling her child crude names and throwing ice cubes."
It went on to say that her and Anthony's 2-year-old son were taken from the arena earlier by family and friends and then she left on her own will when she was pushed and was escorted out by security.
"Obviously the playoffs 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," Vazquez said in the statement. "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."
