Ty Lawson is not exactly keeping quiet after his latest arrest. The former NBA star is speaking out. And he is making it very clear that he is not happy about what happened.
Lawson claims the incident was fueled by racism. He also says he has never experienced anything like it in his life. Apparently, this is one story he is not willing to dribble around.
The former basketball player took aim at the woman who accused him. Lawson referred to her as a “pasty face white woman” and accused her of lying about what happened.
This the wildest and more racist shit I been thru

Yes, that is quite the description.
Lawson appears convinced that the allegations against him do not tell the full story. According to his account, he believes he was treated unfairly. He also feels race played a role in how the situation unfolded.
Being black in America is tough…. Being lied by a pasty face white woman wild… stay outta castle rock Colorado!!!!

That is a serious accusation.
The former Denver Nuggets star went to social media on Tuesday … saying, “Being black in America is tough…. Being lied by a pasty face white woman wild… stay outta castle rock Colorado!!!!”
He continued … “This the wildest and more racist s*** I been thru.”
The comments come after details of his July 16 arrest were released in new legal docs … in which cops say the hooper swiped a $34 bottle of vodka from a liquor store and took it with him to a nearby restaurant.
Officers say they believed Lawson was intoxicated when he was confronted about the bottle of booze … and claimed he called an officer a “white bitch.”
It’s unclear if the “pasty face white woman” and the “white bitch” are the same person. Lawson did not elaborate on the racism claims … but reposted several users who supported his stance.
Lawson’s claims should not be ignored. At the same time, allegations are not proof of guilt. The facts of the case will ultimately matter more than social media arguments.
For now, Lawson is standing by his story. He says he was treated unfairly. He says racism played a part, and he is accusing his accuser of lying.
That is a lot of drama for one arrest.
As the legal process continues, more details may come out. Until then, Lawson appears ready to defend himself. And judging by his latest comments, he is doing it loudly, directly, and without much interest in playing it safe.
