NASCAR racer, Tyler Reddick is breaking his silence after a clip of his son and Michael Jordan went viral. “I don’t see what others see,” Reddick tells Stephen A. Smith in a new interview.
Over the weekend, Jordan attended the Daytona 500, and while celebrating with Reddick in victory lane, footage caught Jordan tugging on his son’s shirt and touching his legs. According to Reddick, this was not a big deal because he and Jordan’s family are close. Jordan is the owner of 23XI, the racing company to which Reddick is signed. “For me, it’s a huge moment. This is the biggest moment of my career. It’s a huge moment for my family and for his family,” he says.
“I don’t see what others see,” Reddick says
Reddick continued: “And I just put that off to the side and think about the look on (Jordan’s wife) Yvette’s face and the whole family and his whole group when they got to victory lane. And just how happy everybody was, and celebrating together. So yeah, that’s where I’m at with it.” While many people, like Reddick, came out in defense of Jordan, others found the interaction inappropriate.
“Pretty crazy turn of events knowing a crash in the Daytona 500 revealed how much of a pedophile Michael Jordan is …” someone posted to X. Another person accused the NBA legend of groping the child. “Michael Jordan was so excited after Tyler Reddick won the Daytona 500 win that he couldn’t control himself, and whilst knowing he was on national television, he groped a child. Nice brains, people.” One person criticized Jordan’s defenders, writing, “People are defending him by saying MJ is being playful, but that’s not how you be playful with a child.”
