Khloé Kardashian's ex-beau, James Harden, is finding himself in quite the Texas pickle. The 41-year-old former NBA star, currently making hoops magic with the Cleveland Cavaliers, was recently nabbed in Texas on a misdemeanor charge. The reason? Allegedly packing a handgun in plain view inside his ride – a no-go in the Lone Star State if it's not holstered.
According to some juicy legal docs snagged by PEOPLE, it seems like Harden, 36, might need to brush up on carrying laws. As the news breaks, the Cleveland Cavaliers are stepping in with a cautious approach. "The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information," a team rep shared.
"We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment."
For those who might have missed the Hollywood romance, Khloé and James were quite the glittering pair back between 2015 and 2016. The Good American mogul had previously opened up about their breakup, attributing it to a not-so-glamorous end involving alleged infidelity.
Khloé candidly dished on her show, Kocktails, "I just don't want to put up with people that you want to be monogamous, but then you're not monogamous. I'm not into…Like I've always said, 'We don't have to be monogamous' There's a lot of s*** going on in our lives. You live in Houston. I live in LA. Let's see each other when we see each other.’”
Reflecting on the relationship, Khloé didn't hold back on her accusations of James's unfaithfulness. "I'm not telling you I'm not going to hang out with you, I just said, 'Hey, listen. This is unfair.' What? Let's be committed. Let's do…I was like, great, this guy's in it for the long haul. Let's do it…Found out that he wasn't, and I got the receipts to prove it,” she revealed.
Now, amid the courtroom drama, fans are watching closely to see how this saga unfolds for the former lovers.
