Scottie Pippen, the NBA legend, and his ex-wife Larsa Pippen had a controversial marriage before their divorce in 2021. In 2016, their relationship was rocked by rumors of Larsa's affair with popular rapper Future. Now, their son Preston Pippen has opened up about the bullying he endured as a result, sparking a heated debate online.
Preston Pippen Speaks Out on 'Calabasas Confidential'
Scottie and Larsa Pippen's son, Preston, appeared on the Netflix show Calabasas Confidential, where he shared his painful experience. 'My parents got divorced when I was 15, and it was really tough because there was an affair,' he said. 'Kids at school, like my friends, would play music by a rapper that my mom was talking to at the time, and it was just s----y.'
He added, 'I'm glad I'm not dealing with it all so close. It kind of sucks when your parents are divorced. That's one thing, and then once they start dating, it's another thing. If they get remarried, then it's a bigger thing.'
Online Reactions and Debate
Larsa Pippen has not yet responded to her son's comments, but fans have taken to social media to voice their opinions. One fan wrote on X, 'These people never think about how their actions will affect their kids…also those weren't your friends my boy.' Another posted, 'And folks will tell you that some stuff women do won't embarrass their kids in the future no pun intended.'
A third fan commented, 'It's crazy trauma for a child, people that cheat on their partners should think on how it affects their kids.' Another added, 'I feel bad for children that got shitty, selfish, shameless parents man. You go through so much unnecessary and undeserving shit all because of your c**t parents man. Hopefully Pippen Jr. is doing ok…' A fifth fan joked, 'Imagine being Scottie's son and having Future become the soundtrack of your parent's divorce…'
Meanwhile, NBA legend Scottie Pippen has kept himself away from the drama, focusing on his personal life and career.
