Stephen A. Smith is getting slammed on social media following what many consider to be inappropriate behavior toward his ‘First Take’ co-host, Molly Qerim.
Smith and Qerim have built some great television chemistry and often chide each other on the show. But things got a bit awkward between them this week when her phone rang via vibration on television.
Of course, Stephen A. could have just let this go. But he’s also Stephen A., so that was never happening.
The ESPN star let viewers know the noise they heard was coming from Molly’s phone and then went on a rant about vibrating when she pointed out that the device didn’t actually ring.
Molly seemed slightly flustered by the exchange and was heard saying “This isn’t the ‘Stephen A. Smith Show’ on YouTube.”
Stephen A Smith exposed Molly for using vibrator live on ESPN 😳

One of the funnier moments from the clip came when Dan Orlovsky covered his face with a towel and claimed he was trying not to get fired.
