Stephen A. Smith has some harsh words for Megan Thee Stallion following her split from Klay Thompson, and he is questioning why their breakup became public in the first place.

On “Straight Shooter,” Smith said he was not interested in the private details of the relationship, but took issue with Megan airing cheating allegations after confirming the split.
“I don’t know what happened in their relationship. Don’t wanna know, ain’t none of my damn business and none of y’all’s either,” he said. “But Megan Thee Stallion made it so… Why? How come you just couldn’t break up and go on your merry way?”
Smith argued that Megan could have kept the announcement simple.
“How come you couldn’t just say, ‘We had our time together, but I’m back being single again’ and leave it at that?” he added. “Why we gotta dog the brother out? Is there a wedding that I missed?”
He also noted that Thompson has not publicly responded.
“We ain’t heard from Klay,” Smith said. “What if Klay said it was you? What if Klay said that you was out there getting your freak on?”
Then, Smith widened the critique to celebrity breakup culture.
“Why is this propensity existing to be talking, telling everybody your business?” he asked. “How is that any of our business? … If something go awry, you got to tell everybody?”
At one point, he added, “These women just chirp, chirp, chirping all over the damn place.”
Megan has not responded publicly to Smith’s remarks.

She’s in an industry that makes their artist perform favors for fame I wouldn’t want her either all them Puffy parties we know what these artists have to do for fame Klay dumped her that was a good move
She is hurt. She responded because of that hurt. She thought he was a nice guy,he’s a jerk.
Stephen A is the one who needs to shut up and shut up quickly! Every time we blink he’s trashing a Black woman! I’m always stunned he came from a Black woman! Megan is grown and came from a country where she has the freedom of speech to speak her peace! She was hurt, stunned and humiliated! How dare Stephen decide he’s the therapist and God and then malign her character by spouting trash for Klay that never came out of Klays mouth? Stephen has 2 daughters. Who’s to say whether or not they are out getting their freak on and have a closet full of men they are running through?
Meg has to blame him because she wasn’t the one for him…Captain Klay needs a woman with integrity, honesty and values that support what his parents put into him… she has portrayed to be a woman with with those standards, but when you really look at her…. She will twerk for money to anyone that will provide….
