Stephen A. Smith asserts that those who are displeased with his recent comments regarding Jeffrey Epstein are just like him—they have the right to their own views. The only difference? He earns millions for expressing his.
TMZ Sports reported Smith in New York City this week after his appearance on Chris Cuomo’s “NewsNation” show, which led to some criticism for claiming he didn’t care whether the purported “client list” of the deceased financier was ever revealed—and that the public should feel the same.
Stephen A. Smith talks about his controversial Epstein remark
His perspective on the Epstein “list” which many believe included the names of clients involved in the trafficking of underage girls—angered numerous viewers… and Smith provided a three-part response.
Smith stated: “What I have to say is that I don’t care, and the reason that I don’t care is because everybody has an opinion, number one,”
“Number two, I get paid for mine.”
“Number three, and most importantly, it’s my opinion based on the facts that’s presented. I’m not getting personal, I’m not deriding or denigrating anybody. I’m just calling it like I see it when asked or when it’s part of my job.”
His position shouldn’t be surprising—he often shares his opinions boldly and seldom backs down. Recall when LeBron James confronted SAS at a Lakers game regarding a statement he made about his son, Bronny James.
