December 19, 2015

Ellie Day is standing by her man.

Thursday night, Ellie and husband Jason Day were watching the Cleveland Cavaliers game courtside when LeBron James collided violently with Ellie while trying to save a ball from going out of bounds. After suffering a concussion and being carted off the court, Ellie was dismayed by the wave of criticism thrown at Jason for not doing more to protect his wife from the collision.

She took to Twitter to silence the haters, saying in part, “To the crazies that think Jason should have protected me — if he had had time to react, so would have I. Also, I would have not liked both dudes landing on me.”
