Larsa Pippen has the benefit of hindsight after that blink-and-you-miss-it breakup with Marcus Jordan. Now she can say what could really pull them apart. Unlike what everyone likes to speculate, it’s not Michael Jordan. While on Two Ts in a Pod, Pippen may have implied her 16 years younger boyfriend should play nice with her co-stars.

When the hosts, Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge, asked about Marcus’ alleged comments about them and “issues that you and Marcus could have been potentially been having, what was about other women?” Larsa bluntly said, “I think that that would have like been a dealbreaker for me.”

Marcus and Larsa had made their frustrations known about the ladies bringing up Michael Jordan in every conversation. An exasperated Marcus allegedly made comments backstage that the ladies later heard about and were displeased. Some of Larsa’s co-stars, like Adriana De Moura and Julia Lemigova, alleged that Marcus’ comments could have caused the breakup. Before the reunion kicked off, Marcus was talking to the face of Bravo, Andy Cohen, and how no one’s family was getting discussed as much as his. 

When Andy tried to excuse the perspective of the ladies, Marcus said some of them wouldn’t even be hired as dishwashers in their house. That was apparently only one of the ‘oh snap’ moments that upset the ladies.

Both Adriana and Julia had a poor impression of Marcus after those alleged comments. However, both were sure they’d get back together too. Which they did in a couple of days and were the hot topic of Valentine’s Day.

Sources close to the couple denied any “family input” aka Michael Jordan was not a factor in the breakup. After rekindling their romance, Larsa was on Two Ts in a Pod setting the record straight. She said that she and Marcus took a “beat” but didn’t really break up. She didn’t appreciate the comments on her relationship from her co-stars, though.

It was honestly more emotionally charged than it was anything else,” Pippen said about the toll that brief split took on her. “Relationships are hard. I’m not going to say they’re easy.” She said at that time, she and Marcus were discussing moving while her youngest daughter was in L.A. with Scottie Pippen and her sons were on college tours. Apparently, there were tensions regarding potentially moving.

She’s saying they’ve come out of the breakup episode stronger now. She’s got her kids, work, and life with Marcus in Miami to focus on. “We’re trying to communicate better than we were a month ago.” Now that communication is not a problem, Larsa is determined to set the record straight with her co-stars. But what caused all the ruckus?
