Chris Webber is not here for the gossip. The former NBA star and Hall of Famer took to social media to clap back at viral rumors claiming he fathered the daughter of ex-teammate Doug Christie—a claim he says is completely false and defamatory. And he’s not just pushing back with words—he’s bringing in the lawyers.
Webber Breaks His Silence on X (Twitter)
In a video shared with his followers, Webber addressed the growing speculation and made it clear he’s had enough of the lies.
“What’s up, party people? Man, the Internet is undefeated, huh?” he began with a tight smile. “That’s why I’m going to give this friendly reminder… you can’t believe everything you read, see, or hear… especially when they’re all lies. No proof, just made-up lies.”
He went on to warn content creators and blogs who’ve been amplifying the rumor:
“If you have a platform and you have content with my name attached to lies, take it down now. To those that started the rumors, that started the lies and continued to spread the lies… I dare you not to take it down. I dare you to repeat the lie.”
Rumor Tied to Doug Christie’s Daughter and Alleged Lawsuit
The unverified claim alleges that Webber is the biological father of Doug Christie’s oldest daughter, a bombshell rumor made even wilder by an alleged $4.6 million lawsuit supposedly connected to the situation. None of these details have been confirmed, and Webber’s response makes it clear he’s lawyering up to fight back.
“You are not going to defame my name. Of course, the lawyers are in action… of course, they are emotional and motivated.”
Webber Turns Pain Into Promotion
Before ending his video, Webber seized the moment to plug his new book, By God’s Grace, which he says contains tools for navigating life’s distractions and staying focused.
