LeBron James' wife Savannah says Italian saleswoman who denied her Hermès appointment was fired

LeBron James' wife Savannah James has revealed she was turned away at a Hermès store in Italy, despite having an appointment.

The 39-year-old entrepreneur, who has been married to the NBA star since 2013, was with her friend and business partner April McDaniel during the alleged incident, which they said resulted in a saleswoman being fired.

The women recounted the story while appearing on Danielle Robay's Question Everything podcast this week. McDaniel had been discussing various shopping trips throughout the friends' travels when she detailed the Hermès blunder.

'We be hustling,' she said. However, at the Italy location, McDaniel recalled the employees 'treated us like s**t.' 

After they complained to higher-ups, she said, 'They closed down that whole motherf*****g store.' 

'They did,' Savannah corroborated before McDaniel added that the fashion house 'fired the lady,' after she told the woman, 'We’ll be back for you. I’ll be right back.'

'We had an appointment,' Savannah cut in, adding, 'And they tried to act like it was...'

A visibly worked up McDaniel then interjected, 'I said, baby, you caught the wrong one today.'

She noted that her friend was 'very nice,' but she was not as patient with the staff regarding the slight, and her frustration led to a full-on shopping spree.

'We’ll be back here. The whole store is closing down. We're bringing out [crocodile leather] and everything,' she said she demanded.

She joked, 'You want some smoke? You done caught one. I am crazy like that.'

Later, McDaniel shared, 'We [were] in the private room with champagne and macarons.'

'They brought out everything,' Savannah confirmed about the wild occurrence. 

'I said I’ll take bathing suits, I’m buying silverware,' McDaniel trailed on. 'I was living my best life.'

Savannah's podcast appearance comes weeks after her husband announced he has signed an $8 million, two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The sports icon, 41, previously played for the Los Angeles Lakers for eight seasons.

In a lengthy statement on X, he said he strongly considered retiring but believes he still has 'more to give.'

Savannah and LeBron share sons Bronny, 21, Bryce, 19, and daughter Zhuri, 11.

Asked by Robay what advice the mom of three would give other wives and girlfriends of athletes, she answered: 'Pay attention to yourself as much as you're paying attention to your partner.'

She added, 'Don't lose yourself in the babies, if they come. Don't lose yourself in the facade of what all of this looks like. Try to stay grounded, try to stay authentic to who you are, and what this connection was from the very beginning.'
