How messy does a celebrity’s love life have to get before their own children start calling them out on national television? Well, honey, we’re about to find out—because Preston Pippen just went there on Netflix, and the receipts are SCORCHING.
During the fourth and sixth episodes of Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential (which dropped Friday, May 29), Preston—the son Larsa shares with her ex-husband Scottie Pippen—decided it was the perfect time to get vulnerable with his friends about his mother’s absolutely chaotic dating life. And we are LIVING for this unfiltered moment of family honesty. While Preston was kicking it with his crew, he brought up the elephant in the room: Larsa’s alleged affair and all the accompanying drama that’s apparently been affecting his emotional wellbeing. Yikes on bikes, mama!
Listen, we’ve all watched Larsa’s love life ping-pong around like a pinball machine for years now. From her iconic friendship with the Kardashians (RIP that era) to her whirlwind romances and the rumors that just won’t quit, this woman has given us PLENTY to discuss over our morning coffee. But when your own son is getting emotional about the fallout? That’s when you know things have officially spiraled into next-level messiness.
Preston’s willingness to discuss his mother’s personal drama on camera shows a level of realness that most celebrity kids would never dare touch. While some might say he’s throwing Larsa under the bus, others are praising his authenticity. Either way, this Netflix series is serving us the unvarnished truth about what it’s actually like to grow up in a household where your parent’s love life is literally everyone’s business.
The question everyone’s asking now: Is Larsa going to respond? Will there be a tearful explanation? An Instagram story rant? We cannot WAIT to see how this unfolds. Because if there’s one thing we know about Larsa, it’s that she’s never one to stay silent when her name (or her parenting) is being questioned.
The Kardashian friendship feels like ancient history compared to this fresh scandal, but it’s clear that Larsa’s personal decisions continue to ripple through her family in ways she probably didn’t anticipate when cameras started rolling.
What do you think? A) Preston was right to call out his mom on national TV for the sake of his mental health. B) This is family business that should’ve stayed private, period.
