The NBA legend Scottie Pippen had a tumultuous marriage with his ex-wife, reality TV star Larsa Pippen, before their divorce in 2021. Their relationship unraveled years after her affair with rapper Future caused significant turmoil. Now, their son Preston Pippen has opened up about the trauma he endured due to his mother's infidelity, reigniting public interest in the scandal.
Larsa Pippen's Denial of the Affair
In a previous interview with Hollywood Raw, Larsa Pippen denied having an affair with Future. She stated, “I think people make more of it. It’s just like for a better conversation for people to say, ‘Oh, she cheated on him, oh, she this, she that.’” She further claimed, “It was none of that. Scottie wasn’t even living at home with me.” Larsa also discussed the challenges of dating in the public eye, adding, “There’s so much pressure…I just feel like sometimes it’s better to date someone that’s super low profile, not on the road every day, just a simple life.”
Preston Pippen's Revelations
In the new Netflix series Calabasas Confidential, Preston Pippen shared a contrasting perspective. Reflecting on his mother's affair, he said, “It was just all over the place. You would think, at that age, when you’re going to school, that it is safe and you’re dodging the drama at home…” He added, “People I thought were my friends would make jokes, and there’s already so much noise in the house.” These comments have sparked a heated debate among fans, but neither Scottie nor Larsa Pippen has responded publicly to their son's statements.
In 2016, just days after Larsa's affair with Future ended, she reconciled with Scottie Pippen. The couple stayed together for a few years before filing for divorce again.
