Stephen A. Smith Reveals How He Stays Away From Scandals

Stephen A. Smith has had his fair share of controversial takes. He was recently involved in a much-publicised on-court feud with LeBron James. Now he spoke candidly on the controversy around Shannon Sharpe.

In a recent episode of his YouTube channel, “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” which he calls his own, Smith stated:

“One of the things that we need to remind ourselves of is that in this day and age, very few things are private. In this day and age, there’s very few things that won’t come to light — ‘cause most things do. But, thinking beyond Shannon and myself, just thinking about the world that we live in — in terms of the podcast stratosphere and everything like that — a lot of people want to walk around thinking you can do what you wanna do when you wanna do it. You could own your own operation and you don’t have to answer to anybody. That’s not true.”

Stephen A. Smith speaks about avoiding scandals

Smith went on to discuss how he is frequently questioned about avoiding scandals. What he said:

“I’ve had people open their mouths and they’ve said, ‘Stephen A., you work for ESPN. What kind of control do you really have?’ This is my podcast. This is my YouTube show. I own this. But, if you think for one second that I can just do what I want to do when I want to do it and how I want to do it and there’s not going to be any repercussions, you’re clueless and you’re destined to fail and fall on your face. Yeah.. I’m not talking about Shannon Sharpe. And.. I’m not talking about anybody in particular. I’m talking about a climate that we’re living in. Some people sit up there, look at me, and they say, ‘Stephen A. don’t get himself in this kind of trouble. How does he pull it off?’ Well, first of all. There’s certain behaviors and proclivities that you never have to worry about me engaging in.”

Well, there you hate it, folks. Right from the horse’s mouth. Well we hope Shannon is taking notes before his next adventure, as this one promises to be embarrassing to say the least.
