Stephen A. Smith Loses It While Discussing Viral College Bowling Coach

by

On June 21, the world of collegiate bowling was rocked by a scandal unfolding at two-time NCAA champion Stephen F. Austin University. The team’s assistant coach, Steve Lemke, resigned after it was revealed that he had been engaged in an extramarital affair with a student-athlete. The affair was discovered by Amber Lemke, the team’s head coach, and Steve’s wife.

What made the story even wilder, and caused it to go viral on social media, was Steve Lemke’s choice to speak to the media about the affair. Furthermore, he didn’t just speak about the affair but chose to actively defend it. “I knew it was kind of a no-no, but there’s not a rule saying it can’t happen,” Steve Lemke said. “There’s not a law saying I’m going to go to jail for doing something like this. There’s nothing in stone. I guess it’s just an ethics code, like we frown upon it, but there’s no rule, there’s no law broken,” Lemke told The Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel.

While the story may have had its moment in the spotlight on social media, one pundit has ensured its longevity. ESPN‘s Stephen A. Smith quote-tweeted the initial viral article, vowing to talk about it on the June 21 edition of The Stephen A. Smith Show.

Stephen A. Smith Slams College Coach Affair

June 21’s The Stephen A. Smith show was a busy one. Smith began by addressing the ongoing Zion Williamson drama. As key drama piece Moriah Mills reportedly appeared in chat, Smith slammed the notion that Williamson should be traded for his off-court infidelities. Furthermore, Smith talked about the recent plea deal offered to Hunter Biden and President Trump’s trial.

However, Smith ended the show by discussing the SFA bowling news. Smith gleefully read out the quotes from Lemke while looking around at his production team. “38-year-old married man, “I was just about how amazing I am”,” Smith said with a laugh as he read Lemke’s description of the text message that led his wife to discover the affair.

Smith continued, linking the story back to his comments about Williamson. “But people are trippin’ about Zion Williamson. 22 and single. And his critic, who is extorting him, is an adult film star. Who does what he allegedly did for a living. But this married man, 38 years of age, working as an assistant under his wife, who’s the head coach, is fooling around with one of their players. Perspective.”

Stephen A. Has Meltdown While Discussing Julius Randle

Steve Lemke isn’t the only person who has caused Smith to lose it in recent days. Over on First Take, Smith got heated while talking about the New York Knicks’ Julius Randle. Smith’s reaction came as a result of Randle saying that the Knicks weren’t far from an NBA title while appearing on Paul George’s podcast.

Smith, a well-known Knicks fan, took offense to this sentiment. “Come postseason time, you know, put a taller defender on him, contest his shots, he’s going to dribble too much, he’s gon’ force shots he don’t need to force,” Smith said. “And he’s not going to be nearly as effective during the postseason as he is in the regular season.

His voice rising, Smith continued. You know this is coming. You can’t learn to use your right hand? Is it that much for me to ask that you can become a bit ambidextrous, that you can remember that God gave you two hands and two arms? That you don’t actually have to always use your left?”

Faith Evans And Stevie J Divorce Close To Being Settled

by

Faith Evans and Stevie J may actually be close to finalizing their divorce. New court documents suggest that the pair are making progress. They have been attempting to resolve their contentious divorce for some time now. The headlines surrounding the split have been everything from tame to downright ugly. However, it looks as though that is all coming to an end. According to a report from The Blast, Stevie J filed a statement of disclosure. It outlines the couple’s financial details for the benefit of the other party.

Some who are unfamiliar with the process may not know what this entails. The specific details of the disclosure statement were not made public. However, according to legal experts, this filing indicates a potential settlement between Evans and Stevie J in the divorce case. It remains to be seen if that is actually the case. Still, it seems like there may finally be a light at the end of the tunnel for the former couple. If the couple desires privacy, though, the terms of the divorce may remain undisclosed.

The recent filing brings a more positive turn to the ongoing saga of Faith Evans and Stevie J’s divorce. In April, Stevie J was ordered to return Evans’ vehicle. She had accused him of taking it without permission to attend the Coachella music festival. Evans, in an emergency motion, requested the return of the 2023 Mercedes Sprinter Van. According tot he motion, she had purchased it with her own money earlier in the year. The court granted her request, ordering the immediate return of the vehicle.

Additionally, Evans sought court intervention to prevent Stevie J from driving not only the van but also her other vehicles. This includes her 2020 Mercedes G Wagon and a Chrysler Pacifica. She claimed that Stevie J’s license was suspended. That makes him unauthorized to operate a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the insurance policy did not cover him. “The insurance policy does not cover [Stevie], and he is unauthorized to drive,” the attorney’s motion said. Now, however, it appears that Evans and Stevie J have moved past their differences. The pair are moving closer to reaching a peaceful resolution in their divorce proceedings. What do you think about the latest update in the divorce? Let us know in the comments below!

Alabama Barker Sends Mother Flowers After Kourtney Kardashian Pregnancy Announcement

by

Alabama Barker has shown just how thoughtful of a daughter she is. Recently, Shanna Moakler reacted to the news of Barker expecting a baby with Kourtney Kardashian. Moakler is a former Miss USA and Barker’s ex-wife. The former model and Barker were married from 2004 to 2008. They have two children together, Alabama and Landon. Moakler has been open about her mixed feelings regarding Barker’s parenting and her past estrangement from her children. However, she has also acknowledged Barker as a great dad. However, once their children reach adulthood, she has made it clear she has no intention of maintaining contact with him.

While she may have admitted that Travis Barker is a good father, Shanna Moakler has previously questioned Kardashian’s parenting. She has even commented on social media about the amount of attention Kardashian gives to Barker’s children. Despite these instances of tension, Barker and Kardashian have appeared to have successfully blended their families. This is especially impressive considering Barker is not the only one with children from a previous partner. Kourtney Kardashian also has three children from her previous relationship with Scott Disick.

Alabama Comforts Mother With A Thoughtful Gift

Alabama Barker gave her mother a very thoughtful gift after Kourtney Kardashian’s announcement. The reality star revealed the news at a Blink-182 concert by holding up a sign. This news was likely very hard on Shanna Moakler, regardless on how long she and Barker have been apart. Moakler’s feelings towards Barker’s relationship with Kardashian have always been a mix of support and criticism. However, it didn’t stop her daughter from being understanding and kind towards her.

Moakler’s daughter, Alabama, sent her a bouquet of flowers as a gesture of love and support. Moakler shared a video of the flowers on her Instagram Story. There, she expressed her appreciation for her daughter’s gesture. Moakler may have initially expressed negative sentiments about Barker’s relationship with Kardashian, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. She later responded to the pregnancy news by stating that she is excited for them and hopes they have a great experience. This is likely good news for all children involved. Blended families can be difficult enough without the drama that can come from exes. What do you think of Alabama Barker’s gift? Let us know in the comments below!

Moriah Mills Speaks Out In Stephen A. Smith Show Chat

by

Moriah Mills will forever be linked to Zion Williamson. The former porn star, and current musician and OnlyFans creator, burst into the zeitgeist with scalding tea about the young New Orleans Pelicans star. According to Mills, she and Williamson had been hooking up less than a week before the gender reveal party he threw for Akheema. Furthermore, Mills was not aware that Williamson had gotten another woman pregnant. Additionally, Mills claimed that Williamson had wanted to move her to New Orleans to be close to him.

As a result, Mills’ star briefly burned bright. She peaked at #91 on Pornhub’s model rankings as she continued to tweet through the saga. However, people began to tire of her antics, with someone going as far as to start a petition to get her to stop. Most recently, Mills found herself suspended from Twitter after threatening to release a sex tape showing her and Williamson. However, now Stephen A. Smith is involved in the saga.

Mills Claims She And Zion Are “Good” On “Stephen A. Smith Show”

As shared by Stephen A. on Twitter, Mills reportedly joined the live chat of his YouTube broadcast of The Stephen A. Smith Show. The account does appear to match Mills’ official account on YouTube, which is used to promote her music. In the live chat, Mills wrote “Don’t believe the narratives we good” while Smith was discussing the possibility that the Pelicans may trade Zion. Mills has not uploaded in over a year, with her last video coming on May 19, 2022. That video was a vlog entitled “Tired of being fake ? + trying the tik tok sandwich my way.”

While it cannot be 100% confirmed to Mills, this would be a significant update in the ongoing saga. As previously mentioned, when last we left the drama, Mills had threatened to leak her sex tape with Zion. That was very much a narrative she herself was pushing. Furthermore, many of her previous tweets have suggested that things were very much not good between the pair. Additionally, she had even gone as far as to accuse Zion’s pregnant girlfriend of paying journalists to write hit pieces about her. But if she says they’ are good, then maybe this really is the end of the story.

Cam’ron Compares Scottie Pippen To OJ After Latest Larsa Pippen News

by

On June 21, it was reported that Scottie Pippen was about to lose half of his retirement fund. Documents obtained by The Blast revealed that on June 16, a judge ordered that Larsa Pippen be given half of her ex-husband’s accrued retirement fund from 1997 to 2016. It’s unknown how much money he will have to give up. However, it’s estimated to be a sizeable amount given he made $109 million from his NBA contracts alone.

Scottie is yet to make a statement about the settlement. However, the day after it was signed, he posted an image that read “You can’t spell a million with a couple L’s. Keep pushing.” to Instagram. Now that the memes about the situation have begun rolling in. Moreover, It Is What It Is host Cam’Ron couldn’t help but get in on the action.

Cam’Ron took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the Pippen situation. His post comprised the news image from No Jumper as well as an image of Pippen waiting at an airport luggage carousel. “Nah we gotta watch scotty he on a mission!! After having to give up half, he put on Black AF1’s?! (Tried to throw us off with the bubble gum bottom…nahhh homie) Spotted at the airport carousel? N-ggas better check that bag he getting. #Beware Scotty giving me #OJvibes,” Cam’Ron added as a caption.

It’s certainly a take. Now, of course, Cam’Ron (we hope) is just having a little bit of fun and running his mouth per his usual style. Pippen’s last post on Instagram showed him playing a basketball game on the SEGA Genesis alongside David Robinson. Meanwhile, many of the comments to Cam’Ron’s post express outrage that Larsa is getting such a big bag from the divorce. The redistribution of retirement funds is a very common practice in California, where the divorce was issued. It prevents one party from hiding their assets in said fund to protect them from the divorce settlement.

College Bowling Coach Goes Viral After Defending Affair With Student

by

Ten-pin bowling has been a sanctioned NCAA championship since the early 2000s. A women’s only event, the first NCAA championship for the sport was held in 2004. It’s an NCAA sport that doesn’t get a lot of attention or love but has a thriving fandom and a high level of competition. However, it has suddenly been thrust into the mainstream sports spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Stephen F. Austin University, located in the Texan city of Nacogdoches, is a two-time NCAA bowling champion. They most recently won the national title in 2019 behind MOP Paige Breeney.

If the story wasn’t wild enough already, Steve chose to defend the relationship in public comments.

“I knew it was kind of a no-no, but there’s not a rule saying it can’t happen,” Steve Lemke said. “There’s not a law saying I’m going to go to jail for doing something like this. There’s nothing in stone. I guess it’s just an ethics code, like we frown upon it, but there’s no rule, there’s no law broken.” The affair was discovered when Amanda saw texts from the student-athlete on Steve’s phone and questioned her husband about it.

The interview comes after White posted a lengthy statement on her Instagram page directed at her ex. At the time, she wrote: “I wanted it to work, prayed every day that you’d see me and love me the way that I loved you. Maybe you did but just kept it from me during the relationship. I walked away with more questions than anything, I don’t know till this day really why current things had to happen.”

When Page Six asked for a follow-up on the statement, White admitted she regrets posting it. “I should have saved it for the f–king book,” she remarked. “I probably regret that [because] I should have saved it for the f–king book, and got paid for it.” She further confirmed, “I am writing a book,” but noted that her chapter on Cannon, “would be very short… I think if you put it in a book, he would be half a chapter. A half a chapter is still too long.”

White also added that she’ll never get back together with Cannon. “I am not ever going back and that’s the facts,” she said. “I am having so much fun without him, and I am better without him, and I don’t need all that energy and all that s–t, I am done.”

A post shared by No Jumper 🏀 (@nojumper)

According to court documents, a judge has ruled that Larsa is entitled to 50% of Scottie’s NBA pension fund. Signed on June 16, the court order ruled that part of the divorce settlement includes half of the account’s total between when they married (1997) and when they formally separated (November 2016). Furthermore, Larsa is entitled to the full amount that she is owed. This is regardless of whether the fund can currently afford to pay that out. This means that Scottie will have to compensate Larsa if the amount in the pension fund is less than half of what the 1997-2016 total was.

Despite this, splitting retirement funds is a common practice during divorces in California. The amount, which must be paid into Larsa’s account as a “cash lump sum”, was not made public in the documents. It’s a rare piece of good news for Larsa, who has been the subject of scrutiny in recent weeks. Her relationship with Marcus Jordan has raised a number of questions, and eyebrows. People have questioned the sixteen-year age gap and whether Larsa knew Marcus as a child. Get all the latest celebrity news here at HotNewHipHop.

Kim Kardashian Admits North West Dressing As Ice Spice Was Wrong

by

Kim Kardashian says that her daughter, North West, was wrong to dress up as Ice Spice for a controversial video on TikTok that went viral in March. Speaking with Time magazine, the SKIMS founder admitted that Kanye West may have been right to call her out in that one instance.

“Every day, the kids get to switch of whose music they want to plug in and listen to on the way to school and North was listening to Ice Spice,” Kim explained. “And I didn’t know who that was at the time. And I was like, this is the moment when I feel really old and my daughter is now teaching me what’s cool. I then had the idea to put [Ice Spice] in a Skims campaign. So that all came through North and what she liked. I think it’s always tough when you’re co-parenting and someone wants something and someone doesn’t.”

She continued: “The Ice Spice videos, she said, ‘Mommy, can I post this?’ “I was out of town, so I had my… nanny was there [and] allowed it. And as soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like, ‘Oh, no no. We’re taking this down.’ She totally understood. So, I think that’s the trial and error sometimes.”

From there, she admitted that her ex-husband may have been correct about their daughter’s TikTok usage in this case. The Ice Spice song featured in the post included graphic depictions of sexual intercourse. “And, you know, then I saw on the Internet, it’s like, ‘Kanye was right.’ You know? And maybe he was, you know?,” Kim added. “In that instance. But in the creative side where she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, I will fight for her to be creative in those ways. So, it’s always a compromise. No one’s always gonna agree and you just have to do the best that you can as a parent and try to protect your kids, but also let them be creative.”

Kanye first complained about North having a TikTok account back in February 2022. In an Instagram post from the time, he remarked that his daughter was on the site “against my will.”
