Larsa Pippen reacts to Michael Jordan's stance on her relationship with Marcus Jordan
Marcus Jordan's father and the Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan shared his thoughts on his son's relationship with Larsa Pippen when asked by a TMZ photographer. According to People's Henry Chandonnet, Jordan simply responded with a "No" as he was leaving a dinner at Paris' Matignon.
In response to Michael Jordan's comments, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan talked about it on their podcast "Separation Anxiety." From Pippen's point of view, she felt embarrassed by the six-time NBA champion's comments.
"Yeah, I kind of felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of like embarassed," Pippen said.
However, Marcus Jordan had a different view of his father's comments.
"I know my dad," Jordan said, "and obviously, my whole family, we're so competitive, part of our DNA is to talk s***, it gets us going and gets us motivated. And when I saw it, immediately I thought, 'He's playing.' He's joking, he's laughing. He's just being playful, he's a little lit, maybe off the Socorro [tequila]."
Additionally, Jordan also highlighted how the 14-time All-Star didn't want to be part of the drama involving his son and Larsa Pippen.
"His goal has always been to steer clear of our relationship," Jordan said, "At the root of it all, obviously is my dad's relationship with your ex Scottie [Pippen]. Obviously, we never talk about that and I don't think my dad wanted to comment on that."
"There's always that narrative," Jordan added, "the rumor that I'm dating you in some sort of way to get back at whatever was said, and if my dad comes out and says, 'Yes,' he's fuelling that narrative or whatever."
The relationship between the two has certainly put them in an interesting position from the public's perspective. Be that as it may, the couple remains strong despite all the backlash.
