In the latest episode of their podcast, Larsa Pippen did not hold back in expressing how Michael Jordan‘s comments had a deep impact on her. She revealed that when MJ bluntly stated his disapproval of her romance with Marcus, she felt more than just a little embarrassed.
Larsa disclosed that the comments were not only embarrassing but downright traumatizing for her, given the previous conversations she had with Marcus and his family.
You see, she had been reassured countless times that there were no issues among the Jordans about their relationship. So, naturally, she believed it was all smooth sailing. Moreover, she even confidently told the media that MJ approved of their union. But in an unexpected turn of events, Larsa found herself at the center of an uncomfortable situation.
“I was like traumatized,” she confessed. “People think I lied.” While Larsa’s experience was far from pleasant, Marcus Jordan shed some light on his father’s remarks.
