Scottie and Larsa Pippen Sued by Side Chick for $250 MILLION
Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen and his ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, are facing a lawsuit over claims that he stalked and harassed his former partner.
Real Housewives of Miami star, Larsa Pippen, initiated divorce proceedings in 2018. Currently, she’s in an on-and-off relationship with the son of Scottie’s former teammate, Michael Jordan.
Court documents obtained by Page Six, reveal that Chyvette Valentine, purportedly an ex-lover of Scottie Pippen, has filed a lawsuit against the basketball player and his former wife Larsa, alleging stalking and harassment. Chyvette further claims that Scottie, his brother Carl T. Scottie, Larsa, and the Chicago Bulls have caused her distress.
She asserted that their relationship was on-and-off between 1987 and 1993, and it ended because she alleges that both Scottie and Carl raped her.
The legal action was initiated in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
The complaint details that the alleged assault led to the birth of her deceased son, Devonte Pippen. In her legal claim, Chyvette argued that Scottie exploited his fame as a member of the Chicago Bulls to purportedly fpopurportedly ‘pursue, intimidate, and distress’ her, leading to ‘significant psychological and emotional distress’ on her part.

Chyvette alleged that these actions inflicted “significant psychological and emotional distress” upon her, resulting in the loss of her home and numerous employment opportunities due to Scottie’s alleged harassment.
Chyvette claimed that Scottie leveraged his relationships with federal, state, and local officials to nullify the police report she had submitted, and he is accused of manipulating the records to portray her as “mentally unstable.”
Chyvette claims she attempted to file a police report against the six-time NBA champion, but Scottie allegedly leveraged his connections with local, state, and federal employees to have it dismissed. Furthermore, she accuses him of using his medical connections to tamper with her records, falsely depicting her as ‘mentally ill.’
She also asserts that the alleged harassment resulted in her losing job opportunities and housing.
A court hearing is scheduled for May 2.
She’s seeking $250 million in damages from Scottie Pippen, the franchise, and his family members based on her allegations.
She claims to have had an intermittent relationship with the former forward from 1987 to 1993, which she says ended following an alleged assault by Scottie and his brother, Carl.
Additionally, Chyvette initiated legal action against Scottie in 2019, seeking $9,999 — the highest amount permissible in small claims court. She alleges incurring thousands in travel-related expenses during their relationship, which Scottie had reportedly agreed to reimburse.
Chyvette also mentioned she was unaware of Scottie’s marriage to Karen McCollum during the time she and Scottie were purportedly involved.
Scottie’s marriage to his first wife, Karen McCollum, lasted from 1988 to 1990 before he married Larsa in 1997. Larsa, known for her role on “The Real Housewives of Miami,” filed for divorce in 2018.
Scottie and Karen ended their marriage in 1990, and he went on to marry Larsa in 1997.
