LARSA Pippen and Marcus Jordan have broken their silence after his father’s recent controversial comment.

After a meal at a restaurant in Paris earlier this month, NBA legend Michael hit the headlines after saying he did not approve of his son’s relationship with the ex-wife of his former teammate, Scottie Pippen.

Michael and his wife, Yvette Prieto, were leaving the restaurant in question when an onlooker called out to him, asking if he approved of Marcus and Larsa’s relationship, per TMZ.

While Michael initially laughed, he then yelled “No!”

When asked the same question again as he stepped into a cab, Michael appeared to shake his head.

This may have come across as brutal to some, but as far as Marcus was concerned, this was little to lose sleep over.

In Marcus and Larsa’s most recent Separation Anxiety podcast episode, titled “Father Knows Best?!?!??!” the 32-year-old suspected tequila may have been involved in his father’s choice of words.

He also added that Michael’s comment was typical of his sense of humor, commenting that it is “part of our DNA is to talk s**t.”

Marcus said he found the situation “funny,” adding that “We knew ahead of time cause [Michael] texted and called me and wanted to make sure that I didn’t take anything the wrong way.”

However, while she seemingly feels comfortable with the situation now, at the time, The Real Housewives of Miami star, 49, admitted “I didn’t think it was funny. There is nothing funny about it.”

She went on to explain how she felt “embarrassed” and “traumatized,” adding that she had previously made public appearances stating that all was fine between them and their parents.

“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,” Larsa said.

However, Larsa seemed more at ease with the situation in hindsight, thanks to Michael’s decision to reach out both before the news broke and again after.

Larsa commented that “I would say that our parents both want us to be happy,” while also admitting that “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] 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 or like… I understand.”
