While this year began on a promising note, it seems to have had some troubles in store for Larsa Pippen. The ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ star once again broke up with Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus Jordan. While she is reeling from her breakup, the actress pointed out one important lesson she has learned from her previous relationship with retired NBA player Scottie Pippen

During her latest appearance in the Amy and T.J. podcast, the mother of four opened up about how she isn’t bothered by all the criticism that is directed toward her. And she became adapted to this lifestyle after her two-decade-long relationship with the NBA star. Larsa revealed that she has gotten used to the scrutiny that comes with the celebrity lifestyle.

“Well, being married to an NBA player two years old, I feel like you’re used to it, You’re built like it. I’ve been in this lifestyle for a long time, and I feel like I’m not like one of those people that, like, you can say the worst things about me.The mother of four further added, “I’m not really phased by it because I feel like I look at my kids, I look at my businesses, I look at my friends that are there, like, they would do anything for me, and I feel like that, to me, makes me feel good. I don’t really care to like portray an image,” explained Larsa Pippen.
