Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim have serious allegations levied against them.

Corey Holcomb says that something happened between Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim.

On a recent episode of the Corey Holcomb 5150 Show, he claimed that an affair had occurred between them. The comedian said that Smith and Qerim were “an item” while both were at ESPN. However, he added that Molly had a “terrible attitude.”

Holcomb even shared a conversation between him and Qerim’s former husband, Jalen Rose.

“(Rose) was disappointed at the things I had said because I said, ‘I think Stephen A. Smith is smashing Molly (Qerim).’ Why would somebody be around a woman as draining as that? She checked Jalen on the show when they was married!”


He claimed Qerim’s longevity at ESPN was tied to Stephen A. Smith. “Molly had a terrible attitude. She was straight b–ch. But she was allowed to stick around for a long time.” “That’s how I knew. I was like, ‘He got to be fking that b–ch.’ Nobody would tolerate a Molly. Molly is an awful person.”

“I think Stephen A. Smith is smashing Molly because why would somebody be around a woman as draining as that? He had to watch how he talked on the show. Well, obviously, she had some pool. She did this to them…”

Behind-the-scenes footage of the two in 2023 had social media thinking they had something going on. In 2024, Smith interrupted a conversation just to deny dating allegations between them.

Molly Qerim Bolts From First Take


Qerim shocked everyone when she left ESPN. The long-time ESPN personality confirmed the news on Instagram, saying the job was “one of the greatest honors of my career.”

Reports suggested she declined a contract extension with ESPN. Qerim’s co-host, Stephen A. Smith, addressed her resignation on his podcast show. “Last night she abruptly resigned as the host of the show,” Smith said at the time.

ESPN’s president of content, Burke Magnus, called Molly Qerim an “encouraging teammate.” The 41-year-old first joined ESPN in 2006. She hosted shows on college football and fantasy football early in her career. Her big break was hosting “First Take” in 2015.

That is where Molly Qerim would remain until September 2025. Instead of coming back, she decided it was time to move on, per the Sports Business Journal.

Qerim hosted “First Take” for 10 years and worked at the network since 2005.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
