Dwight Howard got a few laughs and took some heat for his Halloween costume.
On Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019, the Lakers center posted a photo of himself on Instagram dressed as Rasputia from the hit movie Norbit.
Howard has dealt with issues surrounding his sexuality in the past, and some on social media used his Halloween costume as a way to spark more rumors.
Some believed that him dressing as Rasputia was further evidence to question his sexuality.
