“I was kind of embarrassed,” said Larsa Pippen to Marcus Jordan on her podcast after Michael Jordan’s disapproval of their relationship
Michael Jordan’s apparent disdain for Larsa Pippen’s connection with his son Marcus left her feeling hurt.
The couple’s “Separation Anxiety” podcast’s most recent episode featured Larsa, 49, talking about how she felt “traumatised” and “embarrassed” after Jordan, 60, was recently questioned about Marcus’ romance with the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, to which the NBA legend responded, “No.”

During the appropriately named “Father Knows Best” episode, Larsa said to Marcus, 32, “You thought it was amusing. I didn’t think it was funny. It’s not funny in any way.
“… I kinda felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of embarrassed.”
Larsa explained that she was uncomfortable because she felt the public believed she was lying when she declared both families were okay with the relationship in remarks made earlier this year.

“It literally went everywhere,” Larsa said. “I think people started to think that online they were saying that I was lying — that I lied and said that our parents are fine because I was doing interviews and saying both of our families are fine.
“When I would say that, I felt like I didn’t embellish that… and I would say both of our parents want us to be happy… I do understand that it’s not awkward for us to be together because it’s us.

“But it probably is awkward for my ex [Scottie Pippen] and your dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it was. I wasn’t a part of that, you weren’t a part of that. So I feel like for them it probably is weird, it probably is weird for your dad. I can’t be mad. I understand… Oh my god, I was traumatized. I was like what are we going to do, people think I lied.”
