Stephen A. Smith Sets The Record Straight On Serena Williams Super Bowl Cameo Comments

In a recent sit-down on ‘The Pivot’ podcast, Stephen A. Smith gave his take on the back-and-forth with Alexis Ohanian. He clarified that his Super Bowl comments weren’t a shot at Serena Williams directly, but a broader point about how some women might react when it comes to their exes. Stephen admitted that if they had been face-to-face in that studio, he would’ve broken it down respectfully—and even apologized if Alexis felt disrespected—because coming for the GOAT was never the goal. One thing about Stephen… he’s going to stir the pot, but he’ll circle back and season it with context.

Stephen A. previously addressed the now-viral confrontation with Alexis during his own show. He admitted he was “caught off guard” by Alexis pressing him live but made it clear he wasn’t about to turn up on national TV. “I’m a professional,” he said, adding that he chose not to escalate things in the moment. Stephen also acknowledged that Alexis questioned his credibility for giving relationship advice, especially when he’s not married himself — and while he didn’t fully agree, he kept it cool and said, “That’s a fair comment.

The TL Had Time & Took Sides

As soon as the clip hit feeds, y’all already know The Shade Room comment section turned into a whole debate forum. Some folks were riding for Stephen, saying “He’s not wrong” and claiming he was just keeping it real. Others weren’t having it at all, calling him out for speaking on another man’s wife — and of course, the internet’s messiest had their popcorn ready, boldly putting their money on Alexis like it was fight night.

One Instagram user @mostlittpartiespvd revealed, “Say what you want but he’s not wrong. Real Alpha MEN know EXACTLY what he means.

This Instagram user @cuztompointofview said, “Dude the fact that you were STUTTERING from outside the studio… tells me… you wasn’t gonna do nothing face to face…

And, Instagram user @goldengirlsheena wrote, “Stop speaking on people’s wives. He doesn’t learn.

Meanwhile, Instagram user @dimitrious_deuce7 commented, “Mannnnnnn yall act like he wrong 😂”

While Instagram user @ohitsbigron added, “My money is on Alexis

Finally, Instagram user @janaymarie shared, “Can we only talk to his daughter? I’m sick of him

Alexis Brought The Energy, But Stephen Virtually Sat Back

As previously reported, during a recent exchange, Alexis Ohanian confronted Stephen A. Smith about comments he made after Serena made a cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance. Back in February, the host said, “If I’m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a**. ‘Cause clearly you don’t belong with me.” Alexis, who was physically present in the studio while Stephen appeared virtually, didn’t hold back in pressing him. He told Stephen, “I think you had some marriage advice for me…I was hoping you were going to be here.”
