Lost respect for Colin on this one. People in the media making personal attacks about the family and then crying victim when they respond harshly is pathetic.
This is so pathetic. So Colin you saw nothing wrong in what Kristine said before. She swore never to wear a BBB t shirt, demonizes the man on how he raises his kids and he replies by saying he doesn't wanna talk to her n u proclaim that as a dark side ? Kristine had a more malicious darker side, correct her first
theomarquis how is not wanting to wear a brand malicious, are u like 2 years old? How did she demonize him lol. He was out of line and disrespectful. A blind horse could see that.
theomarquis how is saying he doesn't want to talk to her because she makes him uncomfortable being disrespectful? she accused him of being against women and threatening her...I mean they went back and forth and if you can't take it don't take shots at people if you don't want them to shoot back.
I dont believe he was being sexist but it really would have been easy for Kristine to believe he was being sexist. Almost every person Lavar talked to has questioned his parenting in one way or another, most are haters as well but for some reason he refused to look her in the eye and respond to HER. He could easily just have made one of his stupid jokes and let that be that but he decided he was gonna pick a fight with her for some reason. Now i think Lavar just doesn't like Kristine but looking at it from her perspective its not that hard to see why she would be so bothered and feel so disrespected.
Ojogbane Amedu She literally accused the man of abusing his kids saying it appears as if he parents out of fear, because Lonzo isn't loud and doesn't talk to the media. Her evidence was that Lonzo said he and his dad never had a disagreement, she also openly discredited his brand. But if lavar comes on the show and doesn't want to talk to her, he's at fault nah he didn't want to talk to her because if he got into a debate with her especially since she's the type to play victim as she was in the altercation when she was asking if he threatened her because he said he was 'scared' of her and didn't care if she worse the big baller brand. She immediately made the conclusion that he was sexist and was threatening her ? I fail to understand why he should take the moral high ground when she was basically attempting to drag his name and face as well has his family through the ground.
Andrew Oolman That is not so. Where and how, plus evidence to show that she was using her race to overpower him? It looked and sound like he had the upper hand in this interview. You are making an assumption on her intentions without any proof. She is a reporter, that is her job to get info. Are you a mind reader to know in total accuracy what she was thinking?? She was disrespected by him.
Kyle Wilhelmsen , nothing disrespectful about it. She is reporter reporting on sports. That’s her lane her and colon were talking and business. What people fail to realize is there are key ingredients that make up a fire. When you come in and comment only on what the fire burned instead or what caused it. It makes you look shallow. Before this interview to base the woman did not but take shots at him and how he raised his kids without ever meeting him. So when he pulls up. Keep that same energy. Don’t play the victim
I think Kristine Leahy may have a serious problem with lying. She once claimed an Uber driver tried to break into her home in the past (after dropping her off at the airport) and then again in another incident claimed that Uber was hanging on to the keys to her house and wouldn't give them back. In the second situation she claimed that the first situation which she never reported until the second situation happened was 'very scary'. Mind you there is no evidence that she filed police reports or anything of the sort in the first situation which she alleges. It seems she really has a lying problem. On the show while Lavar was talking she was claiming that he doesn't respect women. Then she said, "Are you threatening me?" So, this weird chick may really have a huge dramatization and dishonesty problem. #firekristine
That’s what started this off. She said that in a previous show. I think she said it as a guest on Speak For Yourself. Lavar obviously saw that and that was why he was defensive towards her when he came on The Herd. Insinuating a man is physically abusive to his kids is a SERIOUS thing and, unless you have proof, you shouldn’t go there. I think anyone would come on to a show being angry at someone if that someone insinuated something like that. I watched her say that live and was thinking “Yikes this isn’t going to be good,” so when Lavar came on The Herd and told Kristine, he didn’t want to talk to her, I knew exactly why. She should have known why too
White women America have done this to black men for decades now they have the help of media and lgbt and other organizations and movements. Emmett till and Bryan banks and many more
I dont like Lavar Ball, but if a reporter would be disrespecting my family I wouldn't give the respect the person deserve. The way Kristine acted was just annoying, he never disrespected her, but she was trying to make it that way. Honestly the only thing that happened yesterday was an increase of support of Lavar Ball
Kyle Wilhelmsen so your going to ignore her comments prior about basically calling him a bad father and saying he abused his kids and forces them into Basketball? She was all for that huh?
cus thats funny, telling her to stay in her lane isn’t sexiest and disrespectful, it’s funny. He didn’t laugh at any of the other disrespectful and sexist comments he made.
Collin having a Will Smith moment at the award before he @ssult3d Chris, minus the physical part is bizarre to me, oh wait he is a white knight, a pawn.
JustLance 213 I don't think she got "confronted", you have to at least face someone for it to be considered "confronting" them. I think she was dissed in a way that she was never dissed before. That hurt her as a woman, it hurt her as a "Blonde, blue eyed white woman", To be completely made to feel unimportant and inconsequential by a black man. 😂😂 there are so many levels to this it's crazy!
JustLance 213 she didn't shrink she stood up for herself. It was funny I admit but he made a fool of himself and all the guys that bash her are virgins, can't get laid, mad cause they know they will never get a women as attractive as Kristine. And before you fools tell me there's women out there more attractive than her, I guarantee you none are in your life so shut it.
Kristine is so weak. She tried twisting his words to make it seem like a personal attack but really she was the one being negative and trying to play the victim for no reason. WEAK.
i won't watch your show anymore. did anyone catch that he was blaming the audience for her being put in her place she disrespected that mans parenting before he came on that show and he has done an excellent job they play ball they're not in jail they are kids having fun and making them a business to leave them BBB #Respect your stance Lavar!
He didn't want to talk to you that's why he didn't want to look you in the eye. He said "leave me alone" and "i'm scared of her" and you kept bothering him so that makes you the bully
So she's going to ignore the fact that she disrespected his parenting skills and that's why he didn't want to talk to her. Oh and he didn't threaten her if she think thats being threatened she's never been threatened.
clint fowler How successful are your children? All 3 of his sons are well mannered and the best at what they love to do for their age. Tell me how Lavar is a horrible parent.
One son in the NBA about to start making millions not in trouble with the law you don't see his son in the media for negative thing... if that's bad parenting then what's good parenting?🤔
Jeffrey Watson Thats her opinion just like Lavar has his. I find it funny how people could throw around the race card when this guy has been bashing BLACK athletes, slow White atheletes and talking about another BLACK mans kids LEBRONS. Shaking my damn head at how stupid people really are!
this is a classic case of cowardly prejudice. she speaks her mind and when the man defends himself she wants to turn around and play victim. How dare you question how somene is raising their family and then call it disrespect when he tells you to stay in your lane. now you want to try and say he threatened you. There wasnt one single threat made. Colin im disappointed that you would even try and defend such a classless act by your co host. People like you two are whts wrong with our flawed society.
You are a coward, don't say you wanted to jump in and defend her because yesterday you didn't do nothing. don't interview the guy then today start talking bad about him. say it to his face while he is there. And Kristine if you are going to talk negatively about any person and they don't want to speak to you accept it and move on. don't trash him all the time and expect him to have a peaceful interview with you. You guys are both wrong for this.
lmao this is so ridiculous, she is so negative towards him AND HIS FAMILY 24/7, and when the man comes in her presence and he defends himself she essentially twists his word into something way worse than it was. He clearly said he wanted to speak with Colin only and she continued to try and force herself and press questions onto him that he didn't want to be a part of, so it got to a point where he defended himself and came back at her with the same level of negativity she shows to him all the time and she couldn't handle it. Simple. Privileged, white, feminist America for you. Kristine was so quick to pull the sexist and "being threatened" card its actually comical
Mukund Seshadri being honest a lot of shows he has done the people question his parenting skills. Stephen a smith has cris carter has and so on, but he made a point to go after a female who didn't sugar coat her opinion as a reporter when actually that's not the best business move when you are building an empire. It's not like he didn't know she worked there or her opinion of him. showing respect and answering a question as a quest on a show or saying no comment shows maturity and class and opens more doors than be overly aggressive towards a female.
Mukund Seshadri there is a MASSIVE difference between questioning but respecting someone's parenting skills (e.g. Stephen A) and outwardly saying "his children are scared of him". Please don't try to defend this woman. He was no more aggressive than she was, so don't even go there.
I'm a woman and I think Kristine went over the line. I hope Lavar sues for defamation and emotional distress. Kristine should be suspended for what she said. What does it say about Fox Sports and this show when they are defending her vile commentary and attacking him. What needs to be clear is this is not a sexism or race issue. Hope your ratings tank because of this unprofessional behaviour
Im starting to see more people agree and support Lavar Ball now which I never saw before unitl after the interview. Looks like Kristines attempt to ruin him back fired and its great.
Dam, the aggressor becomes the victim? Then counters by wishing and asking for the complete downfall of another person. Very Creepy future for our kids if this is normalized
I guess my only question is did she show him respect when she went in on him about his parenting and his kids being afraid of him? I love how people play victim when people clap back based on what they said about them behind their backs! You can't control how people respond when you talk crazy about them, so be careful what you say if you can't handle whatever comes for you! Should have been more careful!
Thank You Kristen For Exposing yourself. Twisting his words around when you started the conversation with the question. Kristen asked "What are the sells?" Colin is saving grace for Fox. How was La Var a bully and he's defending himself ? Kristen wanted to demasculinize Lar Var Ball and he wasn't going. 👏 👏 Btw where is Kristen today ?? Not on the Herd
you hate Kristine but defend Colin?!?! the dude clearly doesnt watch nba games. Only a casual NBA fan would believe anything he has to say about basketball LMFAO
thought Colin was a breath of fresh air for sports talk radio but proved today how 2 faced he is trying to defend her. Kristine better fall back farther than Stephen A's hairline and let the ball family do their thing!
why should he look you in the eye when you and wilcox talked behind his back disrespectfully. no you keep talking behind his back, i wouldn't have turned around either.
Awe Dee.0 she’s talking about BBB. Everyone was. She gave her thoughts on the matter because that was her job? What did you want her to say? “Oh he’s not here so I won’t speak on his name.” 😂 when have you ever seen a sports talk show person do that? Did she disrespect him? Yeah. Was Lavar right in acting like that? Yeah. But in no way did she talk behind his back when there’s people out there who get paid to talk about it. 🤣 y’all acting like it’s middle school
facts its so crazy i thought he would tell the whole objective truth no matter who liked it....but instead it feels like he caved under pressure....prolly cause she was getting so much backlash and was vying for his support (just look at how shes mean mugging him and how he was stuttering the whole time lol) ...but yea maybe this was how he really felt anyway but this was just his chance to finally let it all out..?? man..i did expect more of an transparent side from him...
Actually caving under pressure would be agreeing with Lavar...read the comments on the video, bunch of men thrashing Leahy... caving under the pressure would be agreeing with all these people. Instead, he's saying what he actually believes.
Marvin Bishop Colin laughed at Kristine when Lavar first went in on her. Then he sat back & did nothing while Kristine got roasted. He clearly just wanted her to shut up, so he could get back to the interview. Now the day after he's all like Lavar stepped over the line & threatened her, when we all know that's not what happened. Lavar never threatened her.
Mbk1019 I'll support a black brother who says the proceeds will go back in to the community to uplift or make change for other blacks brothers. If it's just to line you and/or your family pockets when you already have money (because Chino Hills is a very expensive area to live in so they got money), plus you're giving me an average product where they're cheaper options on the markets.......... I have the option to say no.
I reallly don't like this Ball guy, but notice how he didn't bring up race when she was calling him sexist? How easy would it have been for him. She got spanked on TV, and to be serious, I don't even know her purpose on the show?
Why don't you like him? I have noticed in my sojourn here on earth that most white people always say they don't like black people for the dam- nest reasons. I surmise that you don't like him one way or another. Just think about it! I mean, think hard, for you don't even know him, and like wise he doesn't know you, so why are you stating that you dislike him. Any wise observer could see that you have a problem with yourself because I am sure that he has not done any harm to you. Is it because he wants his son to rule his own destiny? And like the days of old, when white folks hated black people when they were not content to be a menial.
He did not bring up race because this "heated series of exchange" was never about race. Lavar made it about sexes with his, innocent yet very short sighted comment about females. Please do your research, see every interview between him and media members
Colin, really?? Stop defending a person who stepped completely out of bounds with her comments. She resorted to playing the woman's card which had absolutely no relevance whatsoever to what they were talking about. I usually don't comment on these things, but this is the problem with today's society. Lavar did NOT say anything that could even be misconstrued to be disrespecting women, and because she had nothing "witty" to say back she turned it around into a sexist issue to gain some sort of leverage in attempts to make him look bad because she failed in her argument. She shouldn't have made it into something bigger than what it actually is. I want everyone to succeed, including women, but if she doesn't like his product because he isn't marketing to what she feels is "everyone" then she can just not buy it. Period. Every product in our society is geared towards certain demographics and Lavar's brand is no exception. Does Victoria's Secret market to men? NO. And no man, and to be honest, no person is whining about that. Who is Kristine to tell Lavar how he should market his product?? I respect people for what they are and what they do and how they treat others, but if you come out and disrespect/criticize another person in the guise of being a "reporter and this is my job" then it should be ok to be criticized back. I agree that Lavar is often very outspoken and sometimes even outlandish, but all he is doing is marketing his brand and business the way he knows how and wants to, and whether it is wrong to us it does not mean it is wrong to him. If he is successful at it doing it his way, then good for him, but if he fails at it doing it his way then that's his problem and not ours. Let the man do his thing (i.e. "Stay in your lane"). If you want to engage in debate to legitimize your job or your position, then do it in a fair way and not in a way where you come off as a "hater" just as Kristine did. She's a good person I'm sure, but what she did does not gain my sympathy.
Then he should have defended her while it was happening. Waiting til after he was done with Lavar and his segment to criticize him seemed completely two-faced.
From my view point, you made him uncomfortable by disrespecting his parenting skills and his company. Then when he comes on the show, he gives you a cold shoulder for saying those things. You then jump into his interview about his shoes, talking about women's merchandise in his company when he has some? Not only that, but when you tell him his company is not appealing to women, he responds by saying there are women's companies, not saying his is not but that if you think so, go to those companies. My last point is the whole 'threatening' situation. He did not threaten you, he said "something is coming your way". Is he gonna do something? He's talking about karma, after saying all the stuff you did, some heat is gonna come back at you. I don't think he was too disrespectful to you honestly. I mean that couch does really sit in a weird position, but you talked trash about him earlier maybe that's why he didn't feel like looking at you. He even said "you are a great reporter" and "I would never threaten you" but some how it was ignored. This is not my battle, but just wanted to throw in my somewhat long opinion.
Larry The Cucumber same i never really like the way he went about stuff, but i like the guy even more now.. i support the dude 100 now. lollolololol she got checked
For tarnishing this mans reputation and business by playing the gender card, accusing him of hating women and being sexist. She had her feelings hurt, so she knowingly and purposefully tried to go at him by trying to hurt his brand/company. Since she tried to hurt his finical wellbeing (his company) by making false accusations, this show should stand its ground and have her fired. She's an unprofessional analyst. You should never allow your feelings to get the better of you.
Whelp there goes my newfound respect for Colin, and in record time. I honestly thought he didn't say anything because he was actually being impartial, turns out he's as much of a white knight as I thought he was.
The show would be better served if Colin stood on principles that are defensible, not allow the show to be blown around by the winds that the Professional Victim Advocates are creating.
Kristine took a big L on this one. Lavar wasn’t even disrespecting her. She said with no evidence whatsoever that Lavar was abusive to his sons. Try and tell me making a false accusation of Lavar committing a serious crime is not being disrespectful. Then she played the victim card and acted like she was being threatened when he was just trying to defend himself and expose her.
Very true, she was trying to bully him into making a statement that they could hold over his head. See them talk about him now like he did something wrong. These people are just not used to a strong black man doing his thing. Now she is advocating that other networks not pit him on because she thinks that what will hurt him, but same network is putting other controversial people on for rating, now you dont like it cuz he handle you guys like head less chickens. 😂😂😂😂
I wish I can dislike this more. side note, Collin I've lost a lot of respect for you, you were the same person laughing in the previous video, now you're going to say lavar is a bully, smh.
I just may go buy his shoes. She attacked him then playing the victim card when she was met with the same energy. I won't ever watch this show again because it's clear I can't take it serious anymore.
For a guy who prides and markets himself on being authentic, i'm REALLY disappointed in you Colin. You had a chance to be objective and remain authentic in this situation by giving context to the exchange between Lavar and Kristine through outlining Kristine's countless disparaging remarks made in the past towards Lavar; ESPECIALLY her incredibly callous and unfounded assertion regarding Lavar abusing his kids. It's clear through his interviews that Lavar truly loves and cares for his kids and is willing to push them to be their best and put them on the highest pedestal imaginable because he truly believes in their ability to do wonderful things in life. For whatever conceited and dirty reason of hers, Kristine is clearly trying to vilify Lavar and make herself seem like a victim by saying Lavar's comments directed at HER were somehow disrespectful to women as a whole. But one thing she needs to learn is that RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN. It's sad to see you supporting her in doing this. It's because of entitled people like her that Trump is now president. The masses see through her kind's BS and want change for society. You've lost a subscriber in me and I sincerely hope others follow suit. SMH...
Your so dumb, nobody will miss you, Lavar lacked respect and like a good teammate Colin stuck up for his partner. Im glad Colin did the right thing, yes Kristine took what was a attack on her and made it seem like an attack on women probably deliberately but Colin made no mistake by defending her. She did her job, asked a question and he completely dismissed her, Lavar is a coward and was exposed as that much. Colin did nothing wrong by defending somebody he works with on a daily bases and knows considerably better than you do.
My point was to defend Colins position, i wont deny Kristine and Lavar both meant to attack eachother and clearly Kristine lost. Colin is a sports host, i dont think he is required to be impartial, i mean hes not even impartial when hes talking sports. I dont see anything wrong with Colin defending Kristine, i agree however that i would have liked for him to at least tell her that she was clearly overacting and playing victim. Also i said nobody will miss him because Colin still has 250k subscribers and its only been going up and likes to dislike ratio does not affect how the show in anyway other than maybe making someone feel bad.
Not a huge fan of Lavar Ball. However, he did nothing wrong. She talked about how he was dominated his kids, forcing them to do things they did not want to do, and that he has stoked fear of him in his children. Not only that but on live TV she slanders him by stating that he doesn't respect women. Based on what? The fact that he makes a product targeted for men? Or the fact that he doesn't like her and doesn't want to talk to her. Lavar Ball stated that did not want to talk to her, ignored her, and stated that when you attack someone, those things come back on you (as in you reap what you sow; that was NOT a threat).. Now she's mad and decides to play the role of the victim. The thing is this was live and everyone can see what actually happened. She is a liar. Colin should not try to put any blame on Ball. I hope everything the Ball family is trying to accomplish works. Then I hope that they do every sports show, radio or otherwise, but refuse to come back on Colin's show. She attacked him but he won. She's just mad.
I have no problem with this lady but she cross the line when she said "are u threatening me" when clearly he wasn't. As black man watchin it for the first time i was like Whoa HOLD ON A SEC!!!!
Are they gonna sit there and act like LaVar aint walk away with a " W " yesterday??? This chick is getting fried on Social Media and they pretending like she won ???
Watching this back, I think this was a big reason Kristine left Fox Sports. I wish the feminist movement would realize if they spent half the time supporting other women, rather then trying to bring down/play the victim card in tough situations with other men, they’d be so far better off.
Lavar has raised his kids in an old school manner and doesn't go down well with the PC brigade. Lonzo isn't afraid of his dad he RESPECTS him because of all he has done for him.
