Stephen A. Smith launched an angry and foul-mouthed attack on Jason Whitlock on The Stephen A. Smith Show on Wednesday, calling his rival “the devil” and even claiming he’s worse than a “white supremacist.”
The X-rated rant came after Whitlock wrote a column claiming that details in Smith’s recently released memoir did not “add up.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Smith teased a savage response, vowing, “Today is the day I finally speak my mind about that not a good fat motherfucker.” The host of ESPN’s ‘First Take’ then unloaded on his rival for 59 brutal minutes.
‘I hate this b*****. Much more than a little bit. He is the worst human being you will ever meet,” Smith said.
“When you come within a mile of his presence, you wrap your arms around yourself to protect your soul. He is Cain. He’s a devil, the worst.’
Stephen A. Smith called Jason Whitlock a ‘b****’ and a ‘fat piece of s***’ on his program
Whitlock wrote a column describing how several details in Smith’s memoir were inaccurate
Smith added: “He’s a piece of shit, he’s the guy who’s going to have a funeral and there’s going to be no pallbearers… two people could show up.
“He’s that guy. He’s the absolute worst. And he lies. And he accuses. And he tries to set people up for failure.”
The ESPN host suggested that Whitlock’s modus operandi is to “pit himself against white people…that” might have a problem with black people.”
“He says, ‘I’m your guy’… ask ESPN. Ask Vos. Ask the Kansas City Star. Ask them all,” Smith claimed.
“As a black man who knew our history, I couldn’t imagine anything worse than a white supremacist. That is until Jason Whitlock came along. He’s worse than her. He is the worst, most despicable, lying, worthless, fat human being I have ever known in my life.”
Smith also accused Whitlock – a “despicable fellow” – of having “evil, vile tendencies.”
“My name for Jason Whitlock is religiously Cain,” he explained. “A lot of black people talk about us being the original humans on this earth. That means that Cain was the original murderer, because he is the one who – according to the Bible – killed Abel.
“He’s the guy who’s going to have a funeral and there won’t be any pallbearers,” Smith said
“That’s Jason Whitlock. There’s nothing good about him. Nothing. And I challenge anyone who knows anything about him to refute what I say.”
The ‘First Take’ host even taunted Whitlock about his career and accused him of treason.
“You betrayed me, did you tell the people?” You b****. Did you tell them? You fat piece of shit. Did you tell them?’ he continued.
“I told (ex-NBA player) Isiah Thomas, I told (sportswriter) Dan Le Batard, ‘If you care about our friendship, don’t ever call me about him again.’
‘I’m a very forgiving person. Not with him. I don’t care how much flesh I have, I don’t care how many of you hate me, whatever former athletes they are, all this stuff… man, please. I’m sorry. Because I certainly don’t hate you.
“We may have disagreements from time to time. But it never is. This is the exception.’
Controversial columnist Whitlock once compared Smith to “Mini Me” in the Austin Powers film
Smith revealed that he had informed his nieces, nephews, sisters and ‘guys in the industry’ of the ignition attack he was planning.
He even went so far as to ask his pastor for forgiveness.
“I literally called my pastor and asked for his forgiveness and understanding in advance,” Smith said, “because he won’t recognize the person he’s about to hear.”
He added: “All the executives at all the networks know what a piece of shit he is. And they begged me not to do this. But even my pastor said, “I’m not happy about it, but every now and then we have to do what we have to do.”
After clips of Smith’s rant flooded social media, several other journalists supported his comments.
‘EVERY WORD!! (I told) you all this about that skin waste! After this, it’s really time to ignore him and cut off what little oxygen is even going to (his) head,” Fox Sports’ Mike Hill said.
“See if there is a single, lone black soul in the sports media who has anything positive to say about Whitlock, or comes to his defense,” ESPN’s Stan Verrett added on social media. ‘Everyone knows. Everyone.’
