Larsa Pippen is apparently “traumatized” after Michael Jordan admitted that he doesn’t approve of her dating his son.
Recently Michael Jordan revealed he doesn’t approve of his son Marcus dating ex-teammate Scottie Pippen’s wife Larsa. This revelation is a completely different angle than what Larsa revealed on The Tamron Hall Show. On the show, she claimed both parents were fine with the relationship and she even was spending time with them.
This made the upcoming episode of Marcus and Larsa’s podcast Separation Anxiety a must-listen for many. In the latest episode appropriately titled “Father Knows Best” they opened up on their feelings about the viral clip.
“You thought it was funny,” Larsa said to Marcus before adding, “I didn’t think it was funny. There is nothing funny about it.… I kinda felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of embarrassed.”
She went on to explain how she thought she was made out to look like a liar after she publicly stated their parents were fine with the relationship.
“It literally went everywhere,” she stated. “I think people started to think that online they were saying that I was lying — that I lied and said that our parents are fine because I was doing interviews and saying both of our families are fine.”
“When I would say that, I felt like I didn’t embellish that… and I would say both of our parents want us to be happy… I do understand that it’s not awkward for us to be together because it’s us.”
“But it probably is awkward for my ex [Scottie Pippen] and your dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it was. I wasn’t a part of that, you weren’t a part of that. So I feel like for them it probably is weird, it probably is weird for your dad. I can’t be mad. I understand… Oh my god, I was traumatized. I was like what are we going to do, people think I lied.”
Maybe there was a miscommunication between the difference in approving the relationship and simply being “fine” with it. Marcus revealed his father’s comments to the paparazzi were simply a joke after too much Cincoro tequila. Furthermore, he says MJ text him right after it happened so it wasn’t taken the wrong way. In the end, people will think what they want regardless of how much they try to clear the air.
