Sports anchor Stephen A. Smith got into a bit of a heated exchange with fellow anchor Jason Whitlock, according to Daily Mail reports. On an episode of his YouTube show, The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith didn't mention Whitlock by name, but fans speculated that's who he was referring to.
"There's one particular person who will remain nameless but I will not deny it - I think he is a fat, no-good b***ard who I despise to the core," Smith said. Smith then clarified that he doesn't wish any harm on Whitlock. "But it doesn't mean that I wish him harm," he continued. "It is not Marcellus Wiley that I am talking about. It ain't hard to figure out who I am talking about."
Whitlock took some recent jabs at Smith's new co-host, Shannon Sharpe, on his show, Fearless With Jason Whitlock. He told Sharpe to stop being "a woman" when he was speaking out about his stunning exit from rival show, "Undisputed," with Skip Bayless. Whitlock replied, "Respect, that's a female emotion, a female energy. That's why Aretha Franklin sang about it. As a man, regardless of color, you are supposed to be about winning the respect of God."
In September 2023, former NFL player and podcast host Marcellus Wiley accused Smith of being the reason Smith's former co-host, Max Kellerman was pushed out at First Take. Wiley alleged that the reason it happened was because Kellerman was "smarter" than Smith, according to the New York Post.
Smith had the chance to respond as a guest on The Breakfast Club when host, Charlamagne Tha God, asked him about it. "Here's my only issue: For a black man to stand up there and say another black man is scared of somebody's intellect, come on bro. That's just a line you're crossing," Smith said. "I have nothing to say other than that. That's sad that he would go that route. I guess he's going to get attention because everybody watches 'The Breakfast Club' every chance we get and you're going to see us talk about it."
It looks like Smith and Whitlock are engaged in a bit of a feud. Whether they make up or not, only time will tell.
