The news that is on everyone’s mind right now is one that concerns longtime analyst Skip Bayless and FOX Sports. Naturally, the onus came on those who have worked with the analyst, such as former ESPN colleague Stephen A. Smith, to speak up about the allegations.
Stephen A. Smith has worked with Skip Bayless far too long to know him well. He has the utmost respect for his former colleague who left his position as lead analyst on ESPN to work with FOX Sports. Their heated battles across the table made them household names.
Bayless went on to create his own show called Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, that battled with his and Smith’s former show First Take for ratings. The lawsuit stems from Bayless’ time on Undisputed, when he allegedly made s*xual advances towards a hairstylist.
In light of the lawsuit, Stephen A. Smith took to his namesake podcast to address the issue. After the video was released, one fan with the username ‘brickgoon’ decided to take the situation further when he left a comment under the video that said.

Please. You wish!

Stephen A. Smith respondsTheories of Molly Qerim facing similar incidents at ESPN have been ravaging social media. This was the first time 57-year-old broadcaster officially shut down the possibility of him facing any such lawsuits in case colleague and First Take co-host Molly Qerim ever decides to reveal the incidents she faced.
Stephen A. Smith’s behavior towards Molly Qerim and female journalists
In light of the Skip Bayless lawsuit, fans have been trying to figure out if Stephen A. Smith has any dirt. In particular if Molly Qerim had something to reveal about the New York native from all the years she has worked with him.
The analyst has been subjected to some heated debates with other female analysts while on his show. He was once obliterated by Monica McNutt for covering the WNBA and women’s basketball after Caitlin Clark came to the fore.
She alleged that Smith had just joined the bandwagon and never promoted other women athletes before. That allegation caught the ESPN executive producer off-guard and even Qerim was shocked hearing McNutt say that live on air.
But when it comes to Qerim, there have been rumblings in the past that she and Smith dated after her divorce. They had clarified that there was nothing between them. Even then, discussions about vibrators and other comments have led fans to come up with such theories.
