Stephen A. Smith is criticizing the Instagram model who exposed NBA player Anthony Edwards for compensating her to undergo an abortion.
“Who Anthony [Edwards] is involved with, who he impregnated… he has a relationship with this woman, and she publicly disclosed it,” Smith remarked. “She took text messages and made them public. I’m beginning to question what consequences someone can face for having their privacy violated. That’s what I’m curious about.”

According to leaked texts, the athlete paid her $100,000 to terminate their pregnancy, expressing his desire not to become a father.
Smith continued, “I’m not making any judgments. We live in a society, ladies and gentlemen, where if Anthony [Edwards] wanted to have an abortion, respectfully, that’s his business. We have pro-choice and pro-life advocates all over the country. She is a woman, free to make decisions about her own body,” Smith added. “This is America. If she’s pregnant and wants to have the child, that is her business. If Anthony Edwards does not want her to have the child, that’s his business. No loyalties are violated because he wouldn’t want the child… She clearly did it to embarrass him and influence his thoughts, using the public to do so by breaching his privacy.”
It’s unclear why Stephen A. Smith is inserting himself into this matter, especially considering he wouldn’t appreciate someone delving into the details of his personal life. Nevertheless, Smith has a tendency to comment on anything noteworthy.
