Larsa Pippen takes stand against cyberbullying, inspired by Taylor Swift | NBA News Times of India

Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA icon Scottie Pippen, is back in the media spotlight with her social media activity, personal life, and public appearances sparking a lot of conversation. She recently posted a message on social media that has garnered attention due to its empowering tone.

Many of her fans are intrigued by her recent Instagram story and are curious about the message she wants to convey to the world.

The post reiterates a sentiment from pop star Taylor Swift about how to handle online hatred. On August 14, Pippen featured a clip from the New Heights podcast where Swift talks about managing social media criticism. According to Swift: “Think of your energy as if it’s expensive. As if it’s like a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone has invested in you to have the capital for you to care about this.”

Pippen has frequently experienced online backlash. Her relationship with Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan’s son, and her appearance have brought her under criticism. Recently, a photo of her face showing swelling after a cosmetic procedure went viral. Pippen clarified that the swelling was due to an allergic reaction to a PRP injection and not a result of cosmetic work.

Pippen posted a video on her Instagram on August 14 accompanied by a caption reading: “Not everyone will appreciate your growth… some will be intimidated by it.” She received support from her boyfriend, former basketball player Jeff Coby, who expressed his approval with supportive emojis in the comments.

Coby and Pippen began dating earlier in 2025, going public with their relationship at the premiere of The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles in April 2025. The couple often attends public events together and regularly shares aspects of their personal lives on social media, including sharing sweet updates and responding to comments from their followers. The bond between them appears to have strengthened over time, leading people to recognize them as one of the most buzzed-about couples in the entertainment and sports sectors.

Larsa Pippen’s posts reveal her proficiency in handling criticism and her openness about her life with Jeff Coby. Her fans and the media are eager to see how the star handles the challenges of public attention, personal growth, and her relationship.
