Stephen A. Smith faced backlash last week after asking Twitter users if Kim Kardashian was a prostitute and Kris Jenner was a pimp.
The sports personality, who is 55 years old, has since apologized for his comments.
During an episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith discussed Kardashian’s infamous sex tape with Ray J and referenced Candace Owens’ comments claiming that Kris Jenner had arranged for the recording and was fully aware.
Candace Owens seems to think that to be the case, at least https://t.co/JRNrTIG3TR

Smith promoted the episode with a now-deleted tweet asking if Kardashian was a “prostitute” and Jenner a “pimp,” but later recognized his mistake and apologized to Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley for the inappropriate language.
Clerical error bro. You are absolutely right. That is being corrected right now as we speak. And for the record, I don’t think of @KimKardashian that way nor would I ever speak of her or any woman that way, which I’ve stated. That’s for checking that issue. https://t.co/PYYAen6mPZ

Despite the backlash, the episode, in which Smith seemingly agrees with Owens’ thoughts, is still available.
In other news, Smith has been campaigning for Shannon Sharpe to join him on his other show, First Take, following Sharpe’s recent departure from Undisputed. Smith expressed his support for Sharpe and stated that he would be happy to have him on the show if he wanted to join.
