Stephen A Smith has addressed the news of the lawsuit filed against his former co-host, Skip Bayless, claiming that the assertions being made are not in line with the character of the man he knows.

Smith and Bayless have very notable history together, having worked together on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ before the latter departed for FS1.

The ESPN host is one of the people everyone looks forward to hearing from whenever Skip makes the news, and he had a bit to say on his show, ‘The Stephen A. Smith Show’ following the most recent development.

Stephen A Smith Says Skip Bayless Is One Of The Cheapest People He Knows

Bayless has been accused of offering a former FOX employee, Noushin Faraji, $1.5 million to sleep with him, something Smith feels is unlikely given how cheap he knows his former coworker to be.

“Here’s what I would tell you…I’ve known Skip for [25 years], I can’t imagine it. I can’t imagine it. Especially when they brought up the $1.5 million, the Skip Bayless I know has a hard time giving away $15. He’s one of the cheapest people I know.”

Smith stressed several times that he was not in a position to speak on the subject because he had no actual knowledge of what had transpired.

“But that doesn’t mean that I had any inside knowledge about any of this,” he added. “I don’t and I’m not going to get involved.”

Bayless himself has yet to respond to the allegations.
