NBA legend Paul Pierce seen in shock video ‘drinking, smoking and partying with STRIPPERS’ despite being married
FORMER Celtics star Paul Pierce faced backlash on social media on Saturday after he was seen drinking and smoking while strippers danced in the background in a live Instagram video.
The ESPN host, 43, streamed the shocking video to his own account in the early hours of Saturday morning, as he received a neck massage from a bikini-clad woman despite his ten-year marriage.
He and his friends appeared to be playing poker as they threw chips at the woman dancing.
As he films, the 43-year-old interacted with viewers, telling one woman watching the stream, “You could make some money, girl."
“Stop playing. ... Monica, whatcha’ doing? If you’re in L.A., come through," he added.
“Paul Pierce woke up down $100k and with 12 voicemails from ESPN Human Resources,” NBA reporter Tyler Conway wrote.
Pierce, who has been an analyst for ESPN’s Get Up and The Jump, has been married to his wife Julie for ten years.
The couple first began dating during the All-Star weekend back in 2005.
