The discussion stemmed from a clip from September in which Candace Owens had discussed Ray J's claims regarding Kris' alleged involvement in brokering the infamous physical relationship tape with Kim. In a tweet promoting the episode, Smith posed a controversial question, asking whether Kim Kardashian could be described as a "prostitute" and Kris Jenner as a "pimp," with the clarification that these were Candace Owens' thoughts.

The tweet sparked immediate criticism, with Patrick Beverly defending Kim and reminding Smith that she is a mother, urging him to reconsider his words. Acknowledging the backlash, Stephen A. Smith responded to Beverly's comment and admitted that the tweet was a result of a "clerical error." He promptly deleted the tweet and assured his followers that it was being corrected. Smith further emphasized that he does not hold such derogatory views about Kim Kardashian or any woman, reiterating his stance on respecting women and stating that he would never speak of them in such a disparaging manner.

Despite deleting the tweet, the podcast episode that featured the discussion on the same topic remains available on YouTube. In this episode, it appears that Stephen A. Smith somewhat aligns with Candace Owens' perspective, assuming the validity of Ray J's claims. Even his sister, who was a guest on the show, seemed to lean towards supporting Owens' take on the matter.

This incident has raised eyebrows and led to some confusion as Stephen A. Smith has previously publicly supported Kim Kardashian, and this particular podcast episode seemed to present a different perspective. It is important to note that individuals' views and opinions can evolve over time, and a single podcast episode may not necessarily represent the entirety of Smith's stance on Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. Nonetheless, the controversy highlights the sensitivity of the subject matter and the significance of careful consideration when discussing public figures, especially in a manner that could be deemed offensive or disrespectful.
