Odell Beckham Jr. probably can’t wait until the NFL season starts and fans have more to talk about. That way, they might stop talking about something else.
For Odell Beckham Jr., controversy, criticism, and ridicule are nothing new to him. He’s accustomed to people talking about him and his antics and doesn’t seem to care. But there’s no way he can’t care about a recent claim an Instagram model made about him.
It’s nothing more than a rumor, but according to the model in question, OBJ has a rather ‘unsanitary’ sexual fetish (Video contains language that is NSFW):

Reactions ranged from dumbfounded to skeptical and everything in between. In true social media fashion, the fans had fun with it at his expense. A company that makes bidets even offered him a free Cleveland Steamer .
Of course, the one question everyone wants to know is whether it’s true.
But there’s no way he confirms or denies anything. If he does, either way, people are going to assume he is guilty as charged. He hasn’t directly commented on the rumors, but did leave a comment on a picture posted to his Instagram page :
Can’t knock me off my pivot… no matter what shxts thrown my way
Some rumors can be directly addressed and dealt with while others can be ignored and will go away on their own. But ones like this have to be handled differently. He has to give them something else to talk about.
Otherwise, fans will be hounding him about the rumors all season long.
Ideally, this ‘something else’ will not involve beating up a kicking net, proposing to one, or posting a video to social media with a substance that looks like cocaine. He needs to do what he initially became famous for– making crazy catches.
But if he doesn’t do something soon, there is no telling how long the rumor’s stench will linger.
