## Caption

During a recent sit-down with thepivot, #StephenASmith was asked about the recent incident where #AlexisOhanian confronted him about previous comments he made about #SerenaWilliams following the Super Bowl. Alexis was in studio, while Stephen was virtual. He explained things would’ve played out differently if he were in the studio. 
____________________________________
Stephen explained his original comment and said it wasn’t meant to target Serena. He was speaking from a general standpoint when questioning a woman’s potential energy toward an ex. 
____________________________________
He said if he and Alexis were face-to-face, he would’ve explained his comment and then apologized that he took it the wrong way because he meant no disrespect. (SWIPE)—(🎥: thepivot, firsttake)—(📸: gettyimages) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffJW
