Larsa Pippen ‘Traumatized’ Over Michael Jordan’s Comments on Marcus Relationship
Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, has opened up about how she felt “traumatized” and “embarrassed” by Michael Jordan’s comments on her relationship with his son Marcus.
The couple, who confirmed their romance earlier this year, addressed the incident on their podcast, Separation Anxiety, and revealed that Michael later apologized and clarified that he was joking.
What Michael Jordan Said About Larsa and Marcus
Michael Jordan, the basketball icon and former teammate of Scottie Pippen, was spotted leaving a restaurant in Paris, France, last week when he was asked by a paparazzi about his opinion on his son Marcus dating Larsa Pippen, the reality star and former wife of Scottie.
Jordan, who was in Paris for Quai 54, the world’s biggest streetball tournament, laughed at first and brushed off the question.
But when the photographer persisted and asked if he approved of the relationship, Jordan replied with a blunt “No”.
He then shook his head no when the photographer asked again to confirm his response.
The video of the exchange went viral and sparked a lot of reactions from fans and media outlets. Some people criticized Jordan for being rude and disrespectful to his son and Larsa.
Others defended Jordan and said he had the right to express his disapproval of the relationship, given that Larsa was married to his former friend and teammate for over 20 years.
Some also speculated that Jordan was drunk or joking and that he didn’t mean what he said.
How Larsa and Marcus Reacted to Michael’s Comment
Larsa and Marcus, who have been dating since earlier this year amid ongoing rumors, addressed the incident on their podcast, Separation Anxiety, which they launched in June.
They said they were “traumatized” and “embarrassed” by Michael’s comment and that they felt like the public thought they were lying about their families’ approval of their relationship.
Larsa said she was nervous when TMZ broke the news and that she felt like she had to explain herself.
She said she had previously stated in interviews that both their families were fine with their relationship and that they wanted them to be happy.
She also said she understood that it was probably awkward for her ex-husband Scottie and Michael to see them together since they had their own relationship or whatever it was.
Marcus said he presumed his father had been drinking tequila and was “feeling himself” when he was approached by the paparazzi.
He said he didn’t put too much weight on his father’s comment and that he thought he was joking.
He also said he was grateful that his father later texted and called him to clarify that he didn’t say “hell no” and that he didn’t mean to hurt their feelings.
Marcus said his father noted that he was an adult and didn’t need anyone’s approval.
