As the Youngest Player

Giddey was performing very well in his life, and he got caught up in a dating controversy, which led people to start talking about him. The controversy is all about the fact that he is dating a very little girl who is underage, which seems a very cruel and illegal thing. Since this news has been circulating all over the media, it was assumed that maybe he was dating Kylie Jenner, but she addressed this to clarify that she wasn’t dating him. She’s just a fan of him.
Leaked Video
As the dating controversy was ongoing, another video came on its way behind the dating controversy. A video was leaked all over social media in which a beautiful girl named Liv Cook, Giddey, was hanging out with her and seemed to be recording something for Cook’s brother; it could be seen how friendly they were in that video. Not just this, but another thing jumped in there: A Snapchat picture of Giddey hugging Cook around the neck.
People circulated the picture with inappropriate captions, which was becoming vulgar. Giddey took a few measures to deal with this situation, changing a few settings on his official Instagram account. He managed to hide his Instagram picture and turned off the comment section.

Giddey is a famous and prominent player of the Oklahoma City Thunder. This might have a wrong impression on his future as the same thing has already happened to some other players.
Giddey future is at risk, and he shall take essential measures to stay the same reputable. According to an online resource, OC Beers claimed that Cook is a high school junior, which means she could be just 16 or 17, five years younger than the 21-year-old Australia International.
If the claim is valid, Giddey could be charged with statutory rape or any other form of sexual violence. Worse, he could still be sued even if Cook gave sexual consent, as having sex with a minor is unlawful by US rules.
