If there’s one thing you should know- it’s that messing with the Kardashians is definitely going to backfire upon you. While many seem to have made the mistake in the past- Stephen A. Smith is now receiving backlash for using terms that are nothing short of derogatory to tweet about Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner.
Stephen A. Smith has developed a reputation as one of the sport media experts with the loudest opinions. Of recent, he posted a message to social media in which he criticized whether reality TV star Kim Kardashian is a “prostitute.” After facing criticism, he is now making amends. Or is he?

What Comment Did Smith Make About The Kardashians?
This past week, the 55-year-old ESPN veteran released a brand-new edition of The Stephen A. Smith Show in which he revisited a prior Candace Owens interview segment. In it, she analyzed rapper Ray J’s allegations that Kim Kardashian’s mother and manager, Kris Jenner, were behind the production of their sex tape. But before the episode, Smith asked if Kim Kardashian was a prostitute in a now-deleted tweet. He further added to the tweet by asking – Is Kris Jenner a pimp?
Of course, fans were mad at his choice of words. He further clarified his statement by saying that it wasn’t his intention to derogate the two women. He said, “I’m not gonna call Kim Kardashian a prostitute. That’s very [disrespectful]. If the allegations are true, I don’t think it’s off kilter to call the mom a pimp. That is the definition of pimping, if that happened. But Kim’s young, beautiful, listening to her parent’s influence allegedly.”
He continued, “If your mother – who obviously has a profound influence on you – coaxes you into doing such a thing, I think those things should be taken into consideration, before you label her with such a derogatory term. The mom is an adult making a business decision, and if that business decision supersedes the integrity and decency of her own child, that is the epitome of a pimp.“

While some people also agreed with what Smith said and called it a valid point.
Well make the decision to over sexualize yourself (or your daughter) and prepare for people to notice and acknowledge your choices. Nothing uncool about it.
