The Los Angeles Lakers have opened an investigation into sexual harassment allegations raised against guards Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson.
According to ESPN, Alexis Jones — a feminist activist and founder of the non-profit “I AM THAT GIRL” — posted a photo to Instagram Monday depicting a group of four men.
“A Jeep of four boys pulled up at a red light and started yelling and making the most disgustingly vulgar gestures at my Mom and me,” the caption read. “I rarely ‘rant’ about things but this is the f%+#ing [sic] problem and the reason I’ve now dedicated my life to educating young men about respect, not just for women but for everyone.”
Young and Clarkson were identified in the comments on the post.
Lakers spokesman John Black told ESPN the team is taking this matter “very seriously” but declined to give further comment on the investigation.
