"He doesn't want that for his son" - Fans defend Michael Jordan after Larsa Pippen says recent comments left her 'traumatized'

Larsa Pippen was left "traumatized" by Michael Jordan's apparent disapproval of her relationship with his son Marcus Jordan. Fans are defending the Chicago Bulls legend from Pippen's comments and called her out for her romance with MJ's son.

On Larsa and Marcus' podcast called Separation Anxiety, they discussed the viral video of MJ not approving of their relationship. Scottie Pippen's ex-wife said that she was embarrassed by what happened and caused her to feel "traumatized."

"You thought it was funny," Larsa said. "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 added:

"It probably is awkward for my ex and your dad because they have their own relationship, or whatever it was. I wasn't a part of that, and you weren't a part of that, so I feel like, for them, it probably is weird. Oh my god, I was traumatized." (h/t Marca)

Fans on social media defended Michael Jordan for being a parent and wanting the best for his son. Most called out Larsa for going into a relationship with someone she knew when he was a kid.

A fan sided with the GOAT and wrote:

"It wasn't meant to be funny. He doesn't want that for his son, and as a father, I don't blame him."

On the same episode of the Separation Anxiety podcast, Marcus Jordan clarified his father's stance about his relationship with Larsa Pippen. The couple has Jordan's stamp of approval, and he didn't say "hell no" to the reporter's question that went viral.

"We knew ahead of time because he called me and texted me and wanted to make sure that I didn't take anything the wrong way," Marcus said. "But then when the article came out, he texted me again, and he never said, 'hell no', and that's not what the implications were."

Larsa Pippen was married to Scottie Pippen, who was teammates with Michael Jordan and won six NBA championships together. Larsa and Scottie have four children together but got divorced in 2021. She began dating Marcus Jordan late last year.
