Zion Williamson has been the subject of relentless social media gossip for the past few days following his announcement that he will be a father soon.

The Pelicans star' stepfather, Anderson Lee, did not appreciate the rumors circulating. He opened his statement by saying that when he was a child, he walked like a child. But he realized how blessed he was when he became a grown man.

The 6-foot-6 former Duke player has been subject to several nasty allegations from different women following his fatherhood announcement, as per ClutchPoints.

"Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear. That's all I want to say. I stand by my son one hundred percent. I wasn't always where I am today," Lee said to a round of applause from the crowd at a Zion Williamson Foundation-sponsored event.
