Kevin Durant Fined $50K For Using Offensive Language In DMs

Kevin Durant was just handed a $50,000 fine over homophobic and misogynistic words he used in a private Instagram conversation with Michael Rapaport.

The NBA announced that Kevin Durant has been fined $50,000 for “using offensive and derogatory language on social media.”

Durant has since acknowledged that his actions were inappropriate. Michael Rapaport posted screenshots of those DMs. He also posted a caption to alert his follows about the nature of how unsettling they were.

I receive threats and disgusting messages DAILY, but never in my wildest dreams did I think @KDTrey5 would be among them. The [snake emoji] himself is now threatening me, bringing up my wife and wants to fight. This is supposed to be America’s sweetheart right? #ImDaRealMVP

Durant has already said that those messages were not supposed to be seen by the public. Obviously that is the case or he likely wouldn’t have sent them.
