Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, is making headlines after a series of controversial photos surfaced on August 7. The images, which quickly went viral, depict Jordan sitting at an outdoor table in France, seemingly snorting an unknown white substance. His new girlfriend, Ashley Stevenson, is seen laughing beside him. As of now, the substance remains unidentified, and Jordan has not commented on the matter.
Marcus Jordan’s Picture Receives Concern
The photos have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with users drawing comparisons to other celebrity children. “If this was Bronny, everyone would be DESTROYING him and slandering LeBron as a parent,” one user pointed out. Another remarked on the perceived double standards, saying, “Since Marcus Jordan is the son of the most overprotected superstar we’ve ever seen, nobody cares.”
This incident is not the first time Marcus Jordan’s lifestyle has been under scrutiny. In 2010, Jordan made headlines after reportedly spending $35,000 at a nightclub in Las Vegas. The situation led to an investigation by MGM Resorts International since Jordan was a minor at the time. He later apologized, stating, “I didn’t mean it the way it came across. My family and friends know the type of person I am.”
Past Incidents and Public Perception
In addition to the recent photos, Marcus Jordan’s past behavior continues to fuel public discourse. In 2012, he was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska, after an altercation with two women at a hotel. The police described Jordan as “animated, intoxicated and uncooperative.” Despite his release shortly after, his arrest garnered attention, particularly due to his smiling mugshot.
While the current controversy unfolds, Jordan’s previous relationship with Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of his father’s teammate Scottie Pippen, remains a topic of discussion. Larsa recently shared details about their breakup, noting, “We’re on a different journey… I want him to be happy.”
