Why Celebrities Are Cursing Each Other
Key Points:
- WWE wrestler Danhausen claimed to have cursed the New York Knicks during an ESPN appearance on April 17, after which the team began losing games, including a loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
- On April 28, Danhausen lifted the curse following a payment from a Knicks fan via Cameo, and the team subsequently went on a winning streak, achieving the most dominant scoring differential over a 10-game stretch in NBA history.
- Other celebrity curses include rapper Lil B's 2011 hex on Kevin Durant, which coincided with Durant's performance decline until he joined Lil B's hometown team and won championships, and Azealia Banks' 2018 voodoo threat against Lana Del Rey, which did not impact Del Rey's success.
- The so-called "Kardashian Curse" is noted for allegedly affecting the careers of athletes romantically linked to Kardashian family members, with examples including Lamar Odom, James Harden, and Blake Griffin.
- Additionally, Hollywood director Graydon Carter was recently photographed on a Mediterranean boat under unclear circumstances, drawing media attention.
