Social media goes crazy as Spike Lee, 68, watches Knicks-Lakers game next to porn star Sky Bri
Eagle-eyed NBA fans noticed Hollywood icon Spike Lee was sat next to adult film star and OnlyFans model Sky Bri at the game between the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
But she was actually attending the game at Madison Square Garden with comedian Druski, who was sat courtside as well but on the other side of her to Lee.
The couple were caught on camera arriving at the arena in Manhattan in a black SUV before being ushered into the VIP section, although it remains unclear if they are dating.
Bri, who was previously linked to Jake Paul and Adin Ross, has over two million followers on Instagram.
Whether Lee knew who she was when she took her courtside seat before the big game remains unclear but fans watching on NBC quickly recognized her and went crazy on social media.
One asked: 'Is that Sky Bri beside Spike Lee?' with a series of laughing emojis.

Another commented Peacock and NBC were 'showing Sky Bri with Spike Lee to compete with the NCAA Football National Championship broadcast.'
That is in reference to ESPN showing porn star Abella Danger during the Indiana Hoosiers' win over her beloved Miami Hurricanes earlier this month.
A third viewer commented: 'Did not have Spike Lee next to Sky Bri on the bingo card for Lakers @ Knicks.'
'No wonder they're not showing him', another quipped.
Lee was joined by fellow passionate Knicks fans Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan on celebrity row, along with Daniel Radcliffe and other stars.
Just in front of them, Caitlin Clark was also making her debut as a guest analyst for NBC's coverage of the NBA.
They were all treated to a special game, which could have been LeBron James' final appearance at Madison Square Garden as he considers retirement.
OG Anunoby scored 25 points and Landry Shamet added 23 as the Knicks beat the Lakers 112-100 to spoil James' 32nd game at Madison Square Garden.
Josh Hart finished with 20 points and Jalen Brunson had 12 points and a season-high 13 assists for the Knicks, who matched a season high with their sixth-straight win, most of them coming easily.
James finished with 22 points, six assists and five rebounds after being chosen as a reserve earlier Sunday for his NBA-record 22nd consecutive All-Star selection. He fell to 23-9 in the regular season at MSG.
Luka Doncic had 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists. The game was exactly a year to the day of the Lakers´ last trip to New York, when shortly after their victory came word that they agreed to the blockbuster trade with Dallas that brought Doncic to Los Angeles.
James hasn´t said if his 23rd season will be his last, but the possibility of a final MSG appearance sent ticket sales soaring, with seats far from the floor selling for more than $500 and ones near the court going for thousands of dollars.
That, plus a nationally televised audience for the debut game of NBC´s 'Sunday Night Basketball' schedule package, gave the game an even bigger feel that James´ usual trips.
The Knicks outscored the Lakers 38-26 in the third quarter, getting three straight transition baskets and then closing with three-pointers by Shamet, Brunson and Anunoby in a 15-5 surge that sent them to the fourth with a 90-82 lead.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 11 points and 13 rebounds after learning he was an All-Star reserve.
