TV personality Larsa Pippen has made a lot of news this year. It all started when the rumors of her dating Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus Jordan started floating around. Soon, she made her relationship public on Valentine’s Day. Following the big reveal, Larsa appeared on the Tamron Hall Show and things didn’t go well for either of the celebrities.
While Tamron Hall faced severe backlash from people for asking personal questions to her guest. Larsa added fuel to the flames by publicly addressing the issue. Despite that, Hall recently appeared on E! News where she addressed the backlash she received. She also talked about responsible interviewing and holding her ground over the controversy.

Larsa and Marcus have an interesting bit of history between them. Marcus’s father and Larsa’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen were teammates with the Chicago Bulls. Other than that, Marcus is 16 years younger than Larsa. So, it is understandable if an interviewer is curious to know about family dynamics and responses to this relationship.
Back in February Larsa was a guest on Hall’s show. The host asked Larsa if she has met Marcus’s parents and what do they think about it. Larsa responded with hostility in her answer and she said that she don’t want to talk about it. Although Hall understood her point, it was of no use as she met with severe criticism and backlash on the internet.
Several people posted that Hall is throwing shade at Larsa over her relationship with Marcus. One person wrote, “Omg Larsa Pippen on the Tamron Hall show is MESSY rn lol she said Tamron was being negative to her.” Now during her recent appearance on E! News, the Daytime Emmy winner talked about the backlash she received.
Hall acknowledged that Larsa is “entitled” to her feelings and opinions. She said “But the reality and how I approach every interview, I want people to know that they?re in a safe space. Hall said that for her it’s always about keeping a respectful environment. “I don’t benefit from an ambush interview,” she added.

She also added that the guests are aware of the topics and not the questions which will be asked. She added, “If you know the questions, it?s not an interview it?s a PR stunt.”

Seems like the feud is going to continue for a while as none of the parties are backing out. Larsa Pippen left a comment on The Shade Room, expressing how she felt sitting in front of Hall for that interview. Larsa said that Hall was “negative and judgmental” towards her.
She also added that Hall’s “tone and facial expressions” showed that she wasn’t going to have a fair conversation. Larsa ended her message by throwing shade on the Daytime Emmy winner. She said that if Hall “wants to audition for housewives” Larsa knows people to hook her up with.
