On the December 16 episode of the Corey Holcomb 5150 Show, the host revealed that Stephen A. Smith had an affair with Molly Qerim during their time at ESPN. However, he added that Molly had a “terrible attitude.” He said:

“She was a straight b*tch. But she was allowed to stick around for a long time. That's how I knew. I was like, he got to be f*cking that b*tch cause would nobody tolerate a Molly. Molly is a awful person. Awful. I'm just watching her.”

He then showed a photo of Qerim and said:

“If you are woman, they spend a lot of time got a job working around men. Look at her face. She look like the Joker when Jack Nicholson was the Joker. Yeah, her face is distorted.”

Stephen A. Smith is unmarried. However, he has two daughters, Nyla and Samantha. Corey Holcomb remembered an interaction with Qerim’s ex-husband, Jalen Rose. He said:

“I love Jalen Rose. But he said something to me on the plane. I was so shocked and taken back because brother Jalen Rose was like, ‘Man, Stephen ain't f*cking my b*tch.’”

He also said:

“Stephen A. Smith is a cornball sellout. They used to have a dude on ESPN who was a guy everybody loved. Stuart Scott. You could tell he was a joy to be around. They used to bite his sayings.”

Corey Holcomb said that the reason Molly Qerim left the network was that she was not being paid well.


Stephen A. Smith talks about marriage and providing the best for his daughters

In 2023, during an episode of his show, Stephen A. Smith said that he was happy in life. He said he was 55 years old and had never been married. Sharing his thoughts about marriage, he said:

“Marriage and sanctity that once came with it is either on life support in the United States of America or it has died and we have just refused to give it a funeral. Somebody gotta say it so I'm gonna say it now I want to be clear.”

Mentioning his daughters, he said:

“I have two daughters. I paid child support. Nothing involves any legal kind of documents. Do you know why? Because the mom would probably get less. because I'm a very generous Daddy. I love my baby girls. They are my world and I come out of pocket all the time without hesitation because it's my responsibility to make sure that they're enjoying the quality of life that I want them to enjoy, which is obviously one of affluence if I can help it and afford it.”

Stephen A. Smith had some advice for men. He said they must afford an expensive ring because the ring represented the man. He added:

“The cheaper the ring, it shows how much of a cheap a** you really are. You don't want that. You want the bling bling on the ring because it represents who you are and what she means to you.”

Stephen A. Smith said that the idea that men are always wrong and women are right is not correct.
