Stephen A Smith has clapped back at Michelle 0bama following her dig at ‘First Take’ and her claim that he would probably make a good housewife.

The former First Lady lashed out at ESPN in a recent episode of her ‘IMO’ podcast, where she likened the network’s flagship show to ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’.

“It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other, and they don’t get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he’s just like every other talk show host,” 0bama said while she and her guests discussed how similar sports media has become to reality TV.

Stepen A is hardly one to ignore being called out and addressed 0bama’s comments on his own podcast, ‘The Stephen A. Smith Show’, over the weekend.

“Michelle 0bama, I wanna take this opportunity to remind you that while you are revered by me personally, and I truly, truly mean that with the greatest sincerity, I’m still a bit salty at you,” he began.

 

Smith then proceeded to criticize Michelle for trying to get people to vote for Kamala Harris by claiming a vote for Donald Trυmp is a vote against her (Michelle), which he referred to as being “sensational.”

He added that both she and her husband, former President Barack 0bama, would beat Trυmp in an election if they decided to run in future elections.

Stephen A Smith pivoted to Michelle 0bama’s criticism of ‘First Take’ after making his political points, refuting her claim that the show is similar to reality TV.

“We’re at sports, that’s live entertainment, and you’re actually competing against one another is big time,” he explained. “No, reality TV is not like that. You’re so wrong about that, about that assertion, but that’s neither here nor there.”

Smith made it clear that he will never say anything negative about Michelle, but respectfully disagrees with her take and is still not happy because she tried to “sort of blackmail us emotionally into trying to compel us to vote one way or another.”

Smith himself is believed to be a potential presidential candidate, something he’s been gradually opening up to after initially claiming he has no political aspirations.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
