Josh Giddey recently found himself in a massive rut. The third-year NBA player has been playing exceptionally well. So far, the Oklahoma City Thunder have risen to new heights with the trio they managed to put together over the last few years. OKC has a promising future as they are currently ranked among the top teams in the Western Conference. Giddey has also become a prominent athlete among Western Conference players.
However, the NBA has strict rules that players have to follow off the court. Recently, several youngsters have been failing to abide by such rules. But the latest allegations made against Giddey are quite horrendous. Rumors began to blow up on social media regarding Josh’s less-than-appropriate relationship with a minor. Fans have begun outing the NBA star with pictures and videos they’ve taken together. The girl allegedly goes by the name, “Liv Cook”.

The main reason why Josh Giddey is being attacked online is because Cooke is only 15 years old, as per multiple reports. She is a year away from entering the legal age of consent. While Giddey, he recently turned 21 years old. Fans have called him out for allegedly having se*ual relations with her as well. The NBA is currently being urged to chuck Giddey out of the league. But there is little to no evidence of this being true. There isn’t enough evidence to support that Cook is a minor either.
What does Josh Giddey’s alleged underage girlfriend, “Liv Cooke” do?
Since the rumors came out, fans have been blasting the age-related laws of Oklahoma and Australia, Josh Giddey’s native place, for having low legal ages of consent. However, both areas follow the same rule, and an individual should be 16 years old to consent to a relationship. This is quite common in most US states and various countries around the world. However, there is a law that could help Giddey get out of trouble, but that’s only if it applies to their relationship.
The Romeo-Juliet Law will protect the boy if the age gap between him and his underage se*ual partner isn’t more than four years. Unfortunately, this law will not apply to the Giddey-Cook relationship. There is a Snapchat image that states Cook slept with Giddey as well, although this could have been edited to gain more engagements online.

There isn’t much information available on Liv Cook at the moment. However, fans were able to recognize her from TikTok. Turns out, she is quite active on the social media platform but her account is private. Hence, only a limited number of people have access to her life and what she does. Giddey has refused to comment on the controversy for now.
