- Stephen A. Smith spoke about the reason he never married anyone
- Stephen A. Smith said some women ask for too much money under the guise of child support
- The ESPN personality implied that he has been promiscuous in his life and explained that he is not upset about being single
Stephen A. Smith is 55 years old and the most recognizable face in NBA media. Even though he reportedly makes $10 million every year and is set for life, he has never been married.
In a recent diatribe on his podcast, Smith revealed the reason behind this decision while also calling out some women.
“I’m 55 years old, I’ve never been married and I’m happy about it,” Smith said. “Now one could easily surmise that a past rife with some promiscuity, dare I say contributed to my desire to be single. But that is not the reason.”
He then broke down his reasoning, saying, “I am not upset about being single. Jeezy, how he filed for divorce from his wife, Jeannie Mai. After only two years of marriage. Former friends are saying she’s after his money.”
He then called out ‘The Shade Room,’ saying, “I hope the Shade Room is watching. Cuz my nephew tipped me off to that site and I’ve seen some of the things y’all talk about. Oh, you’re welcome on the Stephen A. Smith show, please come.”
He added a final example, saying, “If Kevin Costner’s monthly child support enables the children to maintain the quality of life he once provided, why should he have to pay extra so the wife he’s no longer with gets to maintain her quality of life? Y’all ain’t together.”
