Molly Qerim Says ESPN 'Had My Back' After LaVar Ball Comments
EXCLUSIVE


Molly Qerim is breaking her silence after the LaVar Ball incident on "First Take" -- telling TMZ Sports she's grateful for the way ESPN execs "had my back" after the way LaVar talked to her on-air.

"ESPN was really supportive," Qerim told us Tuesday morning in NYC ... "All the executives had my back. Much appreciated."

The network quickly condemned Ball's comments to Qerim on Monday as "inappropriate" -- when he told her, "You can switch gears with me anytime."

We asked Molly if LaVar (or anyone in the Ball family) had reached out to apologize -- and she told us, "I haven't heard from anybody, but to be honest with you I shut my phone off after work."

As for her how famous NBA star husband, Jalen Rose, handled the situation -- Molly says, "I think Jalen would have just liked if would have apologized to me publicly."

Does Molly think ESPN should ban LaVar from coming back on "First Take" or any other ESPN show? We asked that too ... check out the clip.

For his part, LaVar is adamant the comments were NOT intended to be sexual in nature -- and he insists he meant no disrespect.

I have no idea what this is about but it’s prolly not a big deal.

actual story.

and what do you feel he should have done?

you made him relevant. The whole thing is trash and the only ones to blame...besides Lavar for being a clown...are ESPN execs for putting him on tv like he has a fucking thing interesting to say.

like I said if they're trying to make a big deal out of this Joe Namath should've been locked up.

said what she "thought" he would say but I still feel like they should've discussed this at home lol

but she's somehow doing interviews? To me it seems like somebody is trying to get attention

Yeah, I saw a yahoo headline yesterday and was thinking a bit overblown. I think someone in media made it an issue and reached out to her probably tho. Idk, whatever. We'd all like her to switch our gears but just most people are keeping that inside our heads. lol And Jalen ain't gonna care unless he's actually groping her on set or says much worse I don't blame him. Also, agree keep this fool off the networks.

Seemed like everybody on camera read it the same way.

I’m amazed he’s still on TV like that. The novelty of his clown act is long gone.

Cali and she probably in a studio in Bristol but she's trying to twist a random statement where he repeated her question back to her as some form of "harassment"?

If this goes anywhere from here on out I'm not speaking to any woman I'm not related to.

never took you for the cuck type. guess i was mistaken.

it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes

regularly interview athletes/coaches etc. hear WAY worse than that and you know it.

it wasn't.

if a nigga said that to your wife, in your presence, at minimum your ears would prick up. like, what this nigga just say? at worst you're serving him a fade, early.

stop playing dumb, dogg. lol

Between the conclusion of the NBA finals

...and the NFL kickoff...

This is dead air season for sports networks

You didn't question why he's on First Take...at all...?
BBB dissolved
The brothers aren't going to make it to the NBA
...and Zo just got traded into irrelevance after stumbling through 2 seasons...

What could LaVar Ball possibly have to say that's interesting in that context?

So ESPN wheels him out...dumb dumbs tune in...feign offense at some benign comment...

and here we are.

But Jalen is the problem...c'mon

could said the EXACT same thing and it would’ve been chuckled off. He literally repeated her question back to her and his tone and her over the top, unnecessary and unprofessional reaction and reply made it way more than it should’ve been.

Like I said above now that Lonzo is no longer a Laker I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about his dad but this a joke.

And also like I said above Jalen didn’t actually say anything his wife commented on what she thought he should say. And I bet we won’t hear from Jalen because if he does say anything he’d be setting himself because stuff way worse than this goes on regularly in sports commentary and we all know it.

didn’t even watch the video to hear what he actually said.

Steph Curry could’ve said the exact same thing and it would’ve been a non-story.

with this? He was out of line. It doesn't matter who said it. All these what ifs you keep coming with don't matter. It was a dumb thing to say. He tried to be cute/funny and it wasn't.

interesting to hear Jalen’s actual take on this.

Lavar trying to stay relevant...his son may not even be on the Pelicans when the season starts. No one cares what he has to say. Jalen got a tuition free school in his name in his home city while working multiple tv gigs and a podcast.

I agree with you but for whatever reason ESPN is trying to keep LaVar relevant.

You should back outta this post now.

Cool.

You think I didn’t see a Laker-centric story in the off-season? You can’t be THAT dumb.

Keep digging that hole, dogg.

Gays can get married, women are treated like human beings, and dirtbags are being exposed. I'm sorry the way the world is going is upsetting you, but life goes on.

that have absolutely nothing to do with this post lol.

The notion that you are utterly clueless when it comes to societal norms and how people are progressing is all over your post history, this included.

You're an old man who can't keep up and think women are overreacting "as usual".

So yeah, the fact you can't see that sorta proves my point.

Wasn't expecting this though lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Only person I’m mad at is myself for actually watching that bullshit.

and y’all wrong as fuck for acting like this is extremely inappropriate or a violation.

and that’s there general consensus on most other forums where this has been discussed but of course OKS is a sheep pen.

well, that settles that.

That she was extremely minor.

There was no reason to suspend him from ESPN or act like it was extremely inappropriate.

Y’all act like he “asked her what her interest are, who she be with”

She did a good job tho... made something out of nothing.

I think that was his name. Those posts combined with his avy used to kill me. I keep reading the title of this post and cracking up.

After she asked mentioned switching gears.

How is this a violation? This sounds like another instance of the media framing black men and as sexually deviant predatory monsters.

Lavar Ball is a lot of things to a lot of people. Most importantly he is happily married with three sons. Making a transition to a new subject is far from hitting on Molly. We're talking about an interview on first take broadcast around the world.

Lavar shouldn't said it in the first place. Just say ok or sure Molly and keep it moving. I hope everyone upset about Lavar puts the same pressure on Luke Walton. Luke is in a very bad situation right now and no one is talking about it.

That's what it comes down to for me.

said something like switch gears any time. he probably added the "with me" trying to be cute because he was speaking with a woman. Stupid but not some outlandish statement.
