Stephen A. Smith has been making waves again, this time with a fiery response to Michelle Beadle's recent comments. It all started when Beadle took a shot at Smith on her podcast, and Smith wasn't having it. Smith, known for his bold personality, didn't hold back. He went on a long rant on his SiriusXM show, calling out those who talk trash from the sidelines because they can't get a job in the industry. He said, "You got some people that were in this business, and they talk smack now cause they can’t get a job in the business cause they didn’t do a good enough job when they were in the business. " Ouch! But Smith didn't stop there. He kept the fire going on his Mad Dog Sports Radio show, taking aim at Beadle specifically. He said, "I know why you’re gone. I know why you ain’t back. I know why you can’t go to other networks. " He blamed her attitude, calling it "evil. " Beadle, on the other hand, had her own things to say. On her podcast, she shared her experiences working with Smith, saying, "I will never share a set with that person ever, because I don’t respect him. " She also mentioned an incident where a promo for Smith's show aired as she was leaving "Get Up! " for the last time. So, what's the deal here? It seems like this feud is about more than just professional differences. It's about reputation, attitude, and the cutthroat nature of the industry. Both Smith and Beadle have strong personalities, and it looks like they're not afraid to go head-to-head. One thing's for sure: this feud isn't over yet. With both Smith and Beadle continuing to speak their minds, we can expect more drama to unfold. But who's really in the wrong here? That's for you to decide.
