“I didn’t think it was funny”: Larsa Pippen Feels Humiliated by NBA Legend Michael Jordan After His Comments on Her Relationship With His Son
Larsa Pippen is speaking out after her boyfriend’s father, Michael Jordan, allegedly stated that he was not happy with her relationship with his 32-year-old son Marcus. Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, on the other hand, said he wasn’t disturbed by his famous father telling photographers that he didn’t approve of his romance with Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen.
When the Real Housewives of Miami star and the entrepreneur were photographed grabbing lunch in September 2022, it prompted dating rumors. However, due to the schism between Pippen and Marcus Jordan, the twosome was attempting to keep their connection private. During an interview with Tamron Hall in February 2023, Larsa finally discussed her romance with Marcus.
Jordan’s Reaction to Pippen’s New Romance
Larsa Pippen’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen used to play with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls, but the two have since split up. “I understand that it’s not awkward for us to be together because it’s us, but it’s probably awkward for my ex and your dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it was,” Larsa Pippen said.
Michael Jordan was leaving a restaurant in Paris last week when a paparazzi approached him about his son’s relationship with Pippen. Before the photographer pressed further and inquired if he approved of their relationship, the basketball icon looked to laugh. “No!”
As per Marcus’ account, he initiated a conversation with his father to discuss the matter, to which the renowned former Chicago Bulls star responded, saying, “You don’t require my consent.” Marcus shared this information during an episode of the Separation Anxiety podcast, where he appeared alongside Larsa. He stated that his father’s sentiments about his relationship stem from the strained rapport with his former Bulls teammate. However, Marcus also hinted that his father’s comment might have been made in jest.
Why did Larsa Pippen feel humiliated and traumatized?
Larsa Pippen isn’t amused by Michael Jordan’s latest remark regarding her connection with his son, even if Jordan was. The star from Real Housewives of Miami has spoken out about being traumatized by the statements made by a legendary figure. “I didn’t think it was funny,” Pippen said during Tuesday’s episode of the couple’s podcast, Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan. “There’s nothing funny about it.” Pippen expressed concern about the NBA legend’s words, believing that the public would assume she lied earlier this year when she stated that both families approved of her relationship with Marcus.
Marcus found the entire affair amusing. Marcus Jordan insisted on the latest episode of Separation Anxiety that his father was most likely joking when he responded to the photographer and that he has no ill will towards their romance. Pippen insists that her connection with Marcus Jordan is founded on genuine affection. During a recent interview with Andy Cohen, she frankly detailed the unique circumstances that brought them together and even disclosed intimate details about her romantic relationship with Michael Jordan’s kid. She also expressed a desire to change her surname regardless of her future companion. If she chooses to take on the Jordan surname, she is completely prepared to embrace it totally.
