Alexis Ohanian Finally Claps Back at Stephen A. Smith for His Serena Williams “Marriage Advice” [Video]

Alexis Ohanian knew exactly how to make his return to “First Take” count. The Reddit co-founder didn’t hold back when addressing Stephen A. Smith’s past comments about his wife, tennis legend Serena Williams.

During his October 9th appearance, Ohanian playfully confronted the sports analyst, saying, “Stephen A. Smith, I think you had some marriage advice for me. Is that right?”

Stephen, who joined virtually, quickly backed off, insisting, “I didn’t. You know the headlines. We can get into that another time. I ain’t qualified my brother.”

Ohanian, married to Serena since 2017 and father to daughters Olympia and Adira, smoothly explained why he wasn’t taking any relationship cues from the outspoken host.

“I was gonna ask, ’cause, you hadn’t been married before, right? ‘Cause I give advice to plenty of founders who want to build billion-dollar companies. And the reason I do that is because I build billion-dollar companies, so I generally try to stay in my lane.”

The exchange comes eight months after Stephen A. stirred controversy by criticizing Serena’s surprise cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance, saying, “If I’m your husband, I’m thinking, ‘Why are you up there trolling your ex?’”

After backlash, Stephen claimed it was “just a man’s perspective,” but Ohanian had already made it clear where he stood: supporting Serena every step of the way.
