Joe Smith on His Wife Doing OnlyFans, Making $61M in NBA, Going Broke (Full Interview)

Former NBA player Joe Smith recently appeared on Vlad TV to discuss his 16-year career and his relationship with his wife Kisha, who controversially started an OnlyFans page without his knowledge. Smith detailed how they met at a BET awards afterparty in Los Angeles in 2012, and after a whirlwind romance, began living together soon after. Smith praised Kisha's pursuit of a singing career and their shared interests in music. He revealed that his money situation had gotten "progressively worse" after his first divorce and subsequent retirement from the NBA. Despite initial hesitations, Smith proposed a few years into their relationship. He also denied experiencing any backlash from his family due to Kisha's past involvement in adult films. The couple, who have no children together, hit a rocky patch when Smith discovered the OnlyFans account Kisha had secretly started due to their lingering financial issues. To hear more, including Joe speaking about the current state of his marriage, hit the full interview above.

[@michaelconti5787]

He’s not going to get much sympathy from some people, especially those who grew up in debt trying to make ends meet. Some of that appears to be misfortune and some of that appears to be his own fault based on what he’s saying. It’s obvious that his wife probably used him. She probably got more money from that divorce than she deserved because the law doesn’t take all ethics and facts into consideration to begin with. That’s not his fault. With all that being said, I’m wondering why he didn’t get a prenuptial agreement. He also states that he bought 4 houses and then a fleet of cars. He should’ve known better than that. You don’t need 4 houses. I understand him buying his mom a house, but he still didn’t need 4 of them as well as A FLEET OF CARS. As far as taxes are concerned, he has very little or no excuse for not knowing about how much in taxes he would have to pay. All he had to do was look it up, AND DO NOT TELL ME THAT HE WAS SO BUSY WITH BASKETBALL THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TIME. The information on taxes is readily available on how much you’re taxed based on your income, and other NBA players like Jordan, Larry Bird, and Dwyane Wade and boxer Marvin Hagler had the same amount of taxes that Joe Smith had and they didn’t go bankrupt. Those guys, I’M SURE, spent as much time with their sport that Smith did and still had time to take care of their finances and read up on it. If you have enough time to buy a fleet of cars AND houses, you have enough time to figure out your taxes. I’m NOT judging him but it looks like he didn’t care enough to take the initiative to look this stuff up and chose to be reckless. He probably would’ve had MILLIONS left over for himself if he didn’t buy those extra houses and cars. Nobody deserves a bad wife. That being said, guys like him need to really find a wife that isn’t shady or morally corrupt.

[@ShixB]

Why isn't anyone talking about him having 3 kids outside of his first marriage?

[@unclebrother6244]

​​@@ShixBfor two reasons: 1.) The point of the video is to address the highly publicized issue in his CURRENT marriage. 2.) According to what we know, his previous wife forgave him and continued to stay married to him (in regards to the children). Now that he's older, he admitted he was wrong, and that he'd never put himself in that situation again. It's an old issue that they both moved on from. It has nothing to do with this particular issue in his current marriage.

[@bernardtalbert6729]

Joe is a good dude but he's obviously depressed and doesn't have any male friends to protect him. He's been caught simping twice now with two highly toxic women. He ignored the golden rule ... you can't turn a hoe into a housewife. Adult performers have been with so many men they cannot pair bond with a man even worse they see all men as tricks. His wife started out in NYC doing movies with Heather Hunter. Sge appeared in 50+ movies with 50+ men (mostly white men). Never became a big star like Heather. He's a cautionary tale for other men and an example of how a toxic woman will ruin your life. The part where she secretly recorded him arguing about her OF page and then posting it reminded me of when another toxic woman Jada Pinkett exploited her husband Will Smith the same way. Moniece Slaughter is also well known for being toxic from her appearances on Love & Hip Hop.

[@DeeSmith-w4z]

50 men 🤮😭🤦

[@mrmyko]

Joe Smith is obviously a good dude. And his wife knew this and took advantage of him being too nice. Women always say you shouldn't judge a woman's past. Joe did that, and it came back to bite him. And instead of women defending Joe, they are supporting his wife. When she is dead wrong. This is why men don't want women who had a promiscuous past. Because when shit gets hard, she will go back to her old behaviors.
