By all accounts, Stephen A. Smith just isn’t precisely a “love physician” or a “relationship skilled”. The ESPN pundit and podcast host has raised an eyebrow at a number of popular culture moments, and with Megan Thee Stallion’s break up from Klay Thompson being the subject of the day, Smith used his “Straight Shooter” podcast on Monday (Apr. 27) to share his ideas on the matter.
Early on, Smith readily admits he has no precise choice over the small print about Megan and Thompson’s romance. As a substitute, Smith questioned how the Houston rapper addressed the break up and why it turned one thing the world wanted to know.
“I don’t know what occurred of their relationship. Don’t wanna know, ain’t none of my rattling enterprise and none of y’all’s both,” he stated. “However Megan Thee Stallion made it so… Why? How come you simply couldn’t break up and go in your merry approach?”
He added, “How come you couldn’t simply say, ‘We had our time collectively, however I’m again being single once more,’ and go away it at that? Why we gotta canine the brother out? Is there a marriage that I missed?”
Thompson and the Broadway star started courting in the summertime of 2025, first making their crimson carpet debut at her Thomas & Pete Gala Basis. The 2 have been seemingly inseparable on social media, with Megan sharing small updates about their varied outings, how they spent main holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas collectively, and their respective birthdays.
On Saturday (Apr. 25), the “Moulin Rouge” star revealed the 2 had damaged up, and, amid accusations that he took out his worst days through the NBA season on her, she additionally accused him of being untrue.
As a substitute of specializing in what Thompson allegedly did within the relationship, Smith shifted his consideration to what Megan might have finished that led Thompson to stray.
“We ain’t heard from Klay,” Smith stated. “What if Klay stated it was you? What if Klay stated that you just was on the market getting your freak on?”
The ESPN host then circled again to his unique level about why the breakup couldn’t be non-public, which might be awkward provided that their relationship was very public for the world to see, as each have been notable public figures.
“Why is that this propensity present to be speaking, telling everyone your corporation?” Smith contemplated. “How is that any of our enterprise? … If one thing go awry, you bought to inform everyone?”
Towards the tip of his feedback on the matter, Smith supplied a sharper critique, geared toward a stereotype about girls: “These girls simply chirp, chirp, chirping everywhere in the rattling place.”
Smith’s curiosity arrives at one more inflection level within the trendy age of courting. The dialog doesn’t cease with the announcement. It evolves. It’s ensnared WNBA participant Lexie Brown within the dialog, who shortly denied any involvement with Thompson. It has had residual results on Megan, who revealed that her run on Broadway in “Moulin Rouge” was ending sooner than anticipated.
“It’s been such an honor to be a part of Moulin Rouge and I’ve met so many superb individuals on this theater. Y’all work so laborious and I’ve a lot respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the trouble y’all put into the work,” she stated in a press release obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
She added, “Each single individual on the Moulin Rouge has impressed me to go more durable as an entertainer. I’m so grateful for the forged and crew that made this expertise so significant. Y’all are actually a few of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met! To all of the Hotties that confirmed up or deliberate to attend, thanks for supporting me throughout this unimaginable journey!”
