“You thought it was funny,” Larsa told Marcus during the episode. “I didn’t think it was funny. There is nothing funny about it. I kinda felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of embarrassed.”
Larsa went on to say that Michael‘s comment made her think that people would believe that she was lying when she said earlier this year that both of their families approve of their relationship.
“It literally went everywhere. 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 explained.
She continued, “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.”
If you didn’t know, Larsa was previously married to Scottie Pippen, who was close friends with Michael when they played together on the Chicago Bulls. However, they had a major falling out years ago.
Also in the podcast, Larsa admitted that her relationship with Marcus may be awkward for some people in their lives, including Scottie, 57.
“But it probably is awkward for my ex and your dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it was,” Larsa said. “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.”
Marcus then added, “I can only assume my dad, because he loves Cincoro and he drinks tequila all the time, that he was feeling himself a little bit.”
He also clarified, “Obviously we knew ahead of time because he called me and texted me and wanted to make sure that I didn’t take anything the wrong way but then when the article came out, he texted me again and he never said ‘hell no’ and that’s not what the implications were.”
Larsa and Marcus also recently talked about their big age gap, responded to “gold digger” accusations, and revealed if they plan on having kids together.
