The tangled web of allegations and affairs stemming from the 42-page lawsuit that leaked online gets more tangled, as people like Stephen A. Smith are starting to get caught in the exchange of opinions about the matter. Former ESPN analyst and sports broadcaster Jason Whitlock chimed in, calling Stephen A. Smith a “fraud,” among other things.
In one of the recent episodes of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock commented on Stephen A. Smith’s take on the hot issue Skip Bayless is facing. For the most part, Stephen A.’s comment centered on him not believing the allegations because “that is not the Skip I know.”
This did not sit well with Whitlock, and he went out and called Stephen A. a “fraud” for it.
“Obviously Stephen A. Smith is a fraud, in my opinion, and it’s comments like this that expose him as a fraud,” Whitlock said. “This n**** has no street smarts. None. Zero. He has no wisdom, none. Zero.”
Whitlock went on to criticize Stephen A. Smith’s train of thought when it comes to giving out opinions on matters like this.
“The people that take Stephen A. Smith seriously and think he represents some sort of black masculinity or black empowerment or black anything, you are a clown,” he went on. “You can’t see through this dude is completely emasculated. He’s propped up because he’s a clown, he has no street smarts, no wisdom. His point of view is completely feminized.”

“I don’t know what happened but just like I said, I’ve known Skip for just as long I can’t imagine it,” Stephen A. said. “I can’t imagine it especially when they brought up the and one a half million dollars. The Skip Bayless I know has a hard time giving away $15—he’s one of the cheapest people I know. That’s just me, but that doesn’t mean that I have any inside knowledge about any of this. I don’t, and I’m not going to get involved.”
Stephen A. Smith also acknowledged that while he has an opinion, a lawsuit is still a legal matter. He said: “All I could tell you is that it’s not the Skip Bayless I know. But obviously this is a legal matter. He’s going to have to deal with [it] because this situation doesn’t appear to be going away.”
