Stephen A Smith has attracted the ire of fans after making an ill-advised joke about ‘First Take’ co-host Molly Qerim on Tuesday’s show.

Smith and Qerim were discussing Luka Doncic’s ineffectiveness in the NBA Finals with Andraya Carter and Brian Windhorst when Smith decided to try food shaming his co-host, making fun of her eating during commercial breaks.

“It’s almost the equivalent of asking [Andraya Carter] not to kiss snakes. It’s almost the equivalent of asking [Molly Qerim] not to eat during commercial breaks,” he said. “You can ask Molly to do a lot of different things. Asking her to fast and not eat? That’s going to be a problem for her.” 

Qerim immediately let Smith know that she’s grown and could do whatever she wants whenever she’s not in front of the camera.

“Grown woman. Proud of it,” she shot back. “Not a little girl.”

If you were wondering what Stephen A Smith meant by “kissing snakes,” it’s likely in reference to Andraya owning a pet python.

As you can imagine, fans thought the quip was in poor taste.

Pole vaulters have been a popular show at these games, and not just for their pole vaulting prowess. One athlete went viral after his shaft prevented him from qualifying by latching onto the bar, while another did the rounds because she celebrated by twerking.

Pole vaulting is done at the Olympics, with Mondo Duplantis of Sweden winning the men’s competition and Australian Nina Kennedy winning the women’s. Still, Njerve is the one who’s been attracting most of the attention on social media.
