Stephen A. Smith had enough of Jason Whitlock and finally addressed the pundit by name after taking a series of veiled shots in the past.

Whitlock recently called into question the contents of Smith’s autobiography Straight Shooter. He even went as far as claiming Smith outright fabricated details about his life story.

In response, Smith addressed the rumor on First Take. Without mentioning Whitlock, he reaffirmed that he did in fact write his own book.

Later on in that same episode, Smith took another shot at Whitlock when he mentioned a “fat bastard” that was “starving for attention.”

In an October episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith did something similar. Still, however, he wouldn’t say his name.

Now, it seems Smith can no longer hold back. In a clip teasing Wednesday night’s episode of his show, he called Whitlock out directly for his continued attacks.

“Jason Whitlock,” Smith said. “I said that name. It’s not a name I’ve uttered. I normally don’t do that, but it’s necessary to do now. I’ve had enough of that fat bastard, that piece of shit. And I wanna make sure that before I go to break, I want anyone out there who watches me, anyone out there who knows me, anyone out there – no matter what you think of me – I want you to remember I never talk about him. I never talk about my colleagues. I don’t do that. This is a first, but it’s necessary.”

Smith even went out of his way to contact ESPN in advance just in case there was any blow-back from the rant.

“I literally called my pastor and asked for his forgiveness and understanding in advance because he’s not gonna recognize the person he’s about to hear,” he continued. “I did the same when I emailed the bosses at ESPN. This is my podcast. I own and operate this. I do want I want on this podcast; but it doesn’t mean that I still don’t harbor a responsibility to at least give my daytime employers a heads-up as to what I’m about to do.

“It’s time for me to address this. I’m only gonna do it once because this bastard is worth less than a damn cockroach. He wanted my attention. He’s got it.”
