LeBron James’ Wife Says She Was Turned Away at Hermès

On Thursday, LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James, appeared on the latest episode of the Question Everything podcast with her friend and business partner April McDaniel, where the two alleged that an Hermès employee was fired after turning them away from a pre-booked shopping appointment at the Milan store.

“One time we went to Milan [and] they treated us like shit,” said McDaniel.

“We had an appointment,” added James. “And they tried to act like it was …”

“I said, ‘Baby, you caught the wrong one today,’ said McDaniel. “You want some smoke? You done caught one. I am crazy like that.”

According to the pair, the woman who tried to deny them the appointment was fired by management and the remaining workers “closed down that whole motherfucking store” before escorting the pair into a private room with champagne, caviar, and macarons, where they proceeded to spend, spend, spend!

“I said I’ll take bathing suits, I’m buying silverware,” recalled McDaniel. “I was living my best life.”

This is not the first time something like this has happened to McDaniel and James. According to McDaniel, a employee once told James she couldn’t touch a purse at a Chanel boutique in Paris and McDaniel once again stepped in to try and get the employee fired. “I’m calling the boss,” she said. “We’re closing the store down … I’m heated, I’m ruining the whole situation.”

We reached out to Hermès for comment and will update this story if and when they respond with a statement.
