Ryan Garcia’s Arrest Sparks Bizarre Comparisons to Donald Trump and Britney Spears
In a whirlwind of events that encapsulate Ryan Garcia’s tumultuous relationship with social media, the 25-year-old professional boxer has stirred up quite the storm in 2024. Following his arrest for felony vandalism, Garcia has drawn unlikely comparisons to former U.S. President Donald Trump and pop icon Britney Spears.
Garcia was arrested in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday, June 8, after causing approximately $15,000 worth of damage to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Following his arrest, he was swiftly transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center due to health issues believed to be related to intoxication. Despite the gravity of the situation, Garcia, who controversially defeated Devin Haney in April, quickly addressed his followers online.
“Kinda funny both Trump and I are in jail,” Garcia posted on X.com, formerly known as Twitter. “I don’t know if he is in jail but I know he got convicted. This sucks, But I love Jesus I will be okay.”
Garcia’s comparison to Trump comes after the former President was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels. Trump, maintaining his innocence, has labeled the investigation a political witch hunt and a “disgrace,” alleging it broke election law.
Garcia also drew parallels between himself and Britney Spears, possibly referencing the intense media scrutiny both have faced. Spears, who suffered a severe mental breakdown leading to her conservatorship, experienced relentless media attention from a young age.
“I feel like I’m Ryan Spears aka Britney Spears,” Garcia said in another post. “This sucks. I never hurt anyone. I only ever loved everyone, prayed for people, and tried to make a change in this cruel world. I love you Christ Jesus Amen.”
Whether Garcia’s references were to the conservatorship itself or the overwhelming control he feels under the current circumstances, his comparisons have certainly raised eyebrows. His unique associations with felony vandalism have added another layer to the already unconventional narrative surrounding KingRy.
As Garcia awaits further developments, the boxing community and his fans remain glued to his social media updates, wondering what the next chapter in this unfolding saga will bring.
