Video of Odell Beckham Jr. Fighting in ATL Club is Fake: ‘This is 100% not Odell’ (WATCH)

*Wow. Talk about fake news. That’s what’s going on with NFLer Odell Beckham Jr. He is the target of fraudulent videos and false reports that were posted Saturday.

A couple of videos appeared online Saturday purporting to show Beckham involved in a fight Friday nightclub at Atlanta’s Gold Room is a straight up lie, reports the NY Daily News.

“This is 100% not Odell. He was not and is not in Atlanta,” Beckham Jr.’s lawyer told the News. “He has not even been in the state of Georgia recently. The people who falsely posted and reported information will be hearing from his legal team. We intend to take legal action against anyone who perpetuates these false statements and claims.”

Saturday afternoon, Black Sports Online had posted a video of a man BSO identified as Beckham getting into a tussle at The Gold Room. The BSO video came from a Twitter user @SRDtv and showed a man with dark skin and blonde hair appearing to trade blows with an instigator across a crowd of bodies.

A second video from Twitter user @DeminoSavage showed the man with features similar to Beckham taking a sucker-punch in the back of the head. BSO’s report said “a bottle girl at the Gold Room confirms Beckham was there,” but now we know the truth – it wasn’t him.

The Daily News also published a story linking to Black Sports Online’s initial report but uncovered the truth and quickly worked to portray the truth of the situation.

BSO later modified its intial report to remove all previously-listed details and sourcing on Beckham’s presence at the Gold Club, but has yet to issue a retraction.

As far as Beckham is concerned, he is entering the fifth and final year of his entry-level contract with the Giants. His $8.4 million salary on the option year became fully guaranteed to injury on the first day of the league year on Wednesday.

But there’s still a problem for the Giant’s star receiver. You see, he’s looking for a big contract extension, but about 9 days ago, another video that went viral and made news did not help. That video, which we also reported on, showed Beckham in a bed holding what looked to be a suspicious thick brown cigarette in his left hand while a woman beside him looked to be holding a credit card with an apparent white substance in front of her.

Obviously, that wasn’t a good look for Beckham and this current report, if it had been true, would have been even worse for his reputation.

Something tells us, he’s got some enemies who are out to do him in. Mr. Beckham, you might want to just stay HOME and pray the Giants still think you’re worth the trouble.
