Larsa Pippen Hits Back at Twitter Users Discussing Scottie's Finances After New Episode of 'The Last Dance' Airs
Larsa Pippen wants fans to know she and her family are doing A-OK financially. After the most recent installment of the ESPN documentary The Last Dance, which centered around the Chicago Bulls and touched on Scottie's life, apparently viewers had something to say.
The documentary shed a light on how grossly underpaid Scottie was in his contract while he was part of the team, but his estranged wife insists they're by no means struggling. She took to Twitter to set the record straight. "Thx for your concern Scottie did ok," she wrote alongside a photo of his career-long earnings. According to the screenshot from a Bleacher Report article, he's earned over $109,000,000.
According to the documentary, Scottie was locked into a contract with the Bulls that paid him $18 million over five years, a small amount compared to most NBA superstars. However, the athlete eventually wound up playing ball for the Houston Rockets, inking a deal for a whopping 67.2 million, as reported by Basketball Reference.
Larsa and Scottie are currently separated, and after seeing her post, some fans felt it was out of place for her to comment on the situation, bringing up the cheating rumors surrounding the couple.
However, the internet personality was quick to defend herself. "I was married to him for 20 years," she tweeted. "I did everything for him and my family. People change and that’s what really happened. Most people can’t even imagine being in a relationship a week so I know it’s beyond imagination. Cheating wasn’t the problem." The tweet has since been deleted.
People have been unafraid to voice their opinions on Larsa and Scottie's relationship, but Larsa has been equally as fearless with her clapbacks.
