While speaking on an episode of ‘The Real Housewives of Miami‘, Larsa Pippen opened up about her ex-husband, former Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen. The episode came out about two months after a court finalized the couple’s divorce on December 15, 2021. The couple had already split up several years before the divorce, as Scottie had initially filed for divorce back in 2016.

Larsa Pippen reportedly called the police and claimed that her husband was being aggressive with her. The dispatch then asked her if her husband was being verbal or physical. That’s when Scottie jumped in on the conversation and said that it is verbal. Larsa then told the police not to come, but she made the same call three days later, claiming that her husband had gotten crazy again. According to PEOPLE, the divorce was filed shortly after the 911 call recordings were made.
