Stephen A. Smith is getting slammed on social media following what many consider to be inappropriate behavior toward his ‘First Take’ co-host, Molly Qerim.
Smith and Qerim have built some great television chemistry and often chide each other on the show. But things got a bit awkward between them this week when her phone rang via vibration on television.
Of course, Stephen A. could have just let this go. But he’s also Stephen A., so that was never happening.
The ESPN star let viewers know the noise they heard was coming from Molly’s phone and then went on a rant about vibrating when she pointed out that the device didn’t actually ring.
“Vibrating. I tried to say ring,” he said. “Do you want me to say vibrating on the air? You always like me to mention vibrating on the air when it’s your phone,” Smith said. “You really want me to do that? You want me to say vibrating with your phone? Just go with the ring, Molly. I’m trying to avoid the vibrating.”
Molly seemed slightly flustered by the exchange and was heard saying “This isn’t the ‘Stephen A. Smith Show’ on YouTube.”
Fans are slamming and roasting Smith over the rant.
Remember when he went off on Lavar Ball for saying something no where near this sexual to Molly…yea Stephen A getting full of himself lately https://t.co/MIGFQLua9z

Which Are Team USA Basketball’s Debutants for the 2024 Paris Olympics? Everything You Need to Know
Team USA enters the Paris Olympics with a star-studded roster, boasting twelve players with NBA experience. This impressive lineup includes three NBA stars making their Olympic debuts: Joel Embiid, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton.
Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid is originally from Cameroon. But he chose to represent Team USA over his native country. The Philadelphia 76ers star, who moved to the United States at the age of 16, made this decision due to his son’s American citizenship.
Embiid was drafted by Philadelphia and played eight seasons for the 76ers. Throughout these years, he averaged 27.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 433 regular-season games.
