Jalen Rose fired from ESPN as reports surface about inappropriate behaviour with Malika Andrews?

Jalen Rose Left Stunned After Malika Andrews Accuses Him of Awkward Touch Live on Air – Studio Left Speechless!

Jalen Rose, the former NBA star turned TV personality, is no stranger to the spotlight on “NBA Today.” But nothing could have prepared him—or the viewers—for the jaw-dropping moment that unfolded during his latest appearance. What started as a routine, friendly hug with co-host Malika Andrews quickly spiraled into one of the most awkward on-air moments in recent memory.

As the show was wrapping up, Jalen reached out to pull Malika in for what seemed like a harmless hug. But just as the cameras were still rolling, Malika suddenly blurted out, “Get your finger out of my armpit!” The entire studio froze. Jalen was visibly caught off guard, unsure how to react as the unexpected accusation hung in the air.

Social media exploded almost instantly. Clips of the incident began circulating, with fans debating whether it was just a lighthearted joke or something more serious. Some viewers laughed it off as an innocent, if clumsy, moment between colleagues, while others couldn’t help but cringe at the public callout. Either way, Jalen Rose’s reaction spoke volumes—he looked like a man whose entire broadcasting career had just flashed before his eyes.

Though the incident didn’t escalate beyond a few awkward seconds, it’s safe to say Jalen will think twice before getting too friendly with his co-hosts on live TV again. What was meant to be a simple gesture of camaraderie turned into a viral sensation, reminding everyone that in the age of social media, even the smallest slip can become headline news.

Looking more into the video, it appears that Richard Jefferson may have been the culprit playing a joke behind them. It certainly was not Rose with his fingers in her armpit.

While all of Jalen’s fingers were visible, Richard was not on camera. Afterward, he and Jalen dapped.

 

Neither Rose, Andrews, nor Jefferson have spoken out about this on social media.

Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.

Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.

“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”

Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.

“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”
