A woman claiming to be Stephen A Smith’s girlfriend has made some wild claims about his ‘First Take’ co-host Molly Qerim.

Smith only recently revealed he has a special lady in his life, claiming he is more popular than most of the athletes he covers because he’s constantly on TV.

A woman going by the name of Nikita Smith (real name Nikita Pearson) on social media is now making claims of Qerim harassing her online via fake profiles and repeatedly referring to the analyst as “S.A” on TV even if he has told her he doesn’t like it.

Nikita also claimed Qerim falsely accused Stephen A. of s3xual harassment after he rejected her advances, adding that the ‘First Take’ moderator was the one who put the rumors of an affair between the two of them in motion.

“When Stephen wanted to address it, his bosses told him not to,” she noted.

You can check her claims out in the video below:

Is Nikita Smith Really Stephen A Smith’s Partner?

Of course, it’s unlikely that Nikita is really Stephen A. Smith’s girlfriend, but several online accounts, including Kwame Brown’s, have picked up, shared, and discussed the video.

While extremely outspoken, Stephen A is not open about his private life and has previously insisted he would not be with a woman who would go around bragging about them being an item.

“So, you’ll know who that person is when she’s Mrs. Stephen A. Smith,” he told Howard Stern last week.

It does appear that the ESPN personality is planning to get married.

“I want to get married someday. It will happen someday,” he added.

But whoever he marries should be wary, as he recently admitted it would be hard for him to remain faithful given how much he travels.

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.
