It’s kinda wild how not many people know about that, considering how big of a star he was
I always just suspend Karl Malone in 2k sims lol he did time in my fake world the disgusting ass man.
“You need a 30-second time out?”
“Nah, full.”
I had the same reaction when i found out, shit is putrid
There’s probably no salvaging a situation where you get a 13-year old pregnant (I think 12, actually?), but being a deadbeat on top of that when you made over $100m in the league really does just encapsulate the kind of asshole he probably is.
Fuck Karl Malone
I’m actually surprised more people don’t know this. Everyone on reddit knows obviously, but your casual basketball fan has no idea. Everyone I’ve known in real life who I tell about this is as stunned as Bev is here
I guess Fuck Karl Malone
She was 12
It’s even worse when I learned Karl Malone shunned his kid and said he had no time for him and that kid grew up and made the NFL. Once he made a name for himself and went pro, Karl Malone started reaching out.
The fact that the kid went on to be in the NFL is pretty wild. Genetics goes a long way.
lol reminds me of when James Harden wore that “blue lives matter” punisher bandana. These guys really aren’t on the internet like that 😂😂
Normally, I’m like “how could you not know? It’s been everywhere for years!”, but Pat had the reaction of a person who genuinely did not know
Players and media was more outrage at Magic coming back with HIV. Than Malone ever did. Crazy
It’s funnier that the Jazz still honor that guy like every year. Fuck that organization.
This is what is so hard to grasp for people on reddit.
This is a full complete bubble filled with terminally online people. It’s not even a fraction of a reflection on real life.
Everyone on reddit knows about the Malone scandal since it gets spammed every time anything about Malone gets posted.
Just think about where you found out about the scandal because I bet for the majority of us it was fucking reddit.
Malone being a certified proven kid diddler is not public knowledge thanks to years of NBA cover up. Most people in my circles only know about it because I told them after learning about it from reddit several years ago.
My 60 yr old father who i am pretty close with has been an active nba fan for 40 years (whatever is on tv or espn.com). I asked him if he ever heard of this and he had no idea. Which is fucked up.
I didn’t hear about this until several years after he retired, and I was watching ball since the late 80s.
I remember when I heard about this, I was like “What the fuck? How did I not hear about this at any point before now?”
I heard about KJ’s shit. I heard about Mullin being an alcoholic. I heard about other guys having issues with drugs.
But I never heard this?
And I was just like… what is the context? Were they both teens?
I mean… he’s just turned 20. She’s 13… 27 and 20 ain’t not big deal but 20 and 13? That is a fucking problem. People were like “She was developed.” And I’m like WHAT?!?!!?
And never any criminal stuff. They didn’t want to charge him because they wanted him to make money to get child support, which I believe he was ordered to pay by a court or something, but fuck. That was shitty.
But what made it shittier was the fact that he just had nothing to do with the kid.
Props to Pat for the human reaction.
That’s the reaction he should have had lol
thats not a “scandal”, its a fucking crime and beyond gross.
From Wikipedia
In 1998, the tabloid newspaper The Globe reported that Malone had been a defendant in paternity lawsuits, filed shortly after Malone began his professional basketball career in the late 1980s. The newspaper alleged that he was the father of three children: two by Bonita Ford, a woman approximately his age from his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana, and one with Gloria Bell, who was 13 when she gave birth. Malone and Ford were both 17 when twins Daryl and Cheryl Ford were born;[70] Malone was a 20-year-old college sophomore when Bell, at age 13, gave birth to Demetress Bell.[71] No statutory rape charges were filed.[72] In the aftermath of the Globe story, Malone met the Ford twins for the first time since visiting them in the hospital after they were born.[73] Malone did not meet with Bell at that time, and his attorney insisted that Malone had settled the lawsuits before any conclusive establishment of paternity and thus still did not know whether he was truly the father of any of the children.
The Tribune confirmed that the judge in the Bell lawsuit ruled Malone to be the father, not based on presented evidence, but rather because Malone did not respond to the suit. The paper also examined court documents detailing the evidence that was to have been presented had Malone responded and a trial ensued. One item listed was a laboratory blood test that concluded with over 99% certainty that Bell’s father was either Malone or a brother of Malone. The paper also reported that applying the same blood sample to the Ford twins resulted in a similarly high probability of paternity by Malone.[74][75] According to the Tribune, Malone challenged the court’s ruling with regard to Bell, claiming that the judgment holding him responsible for $125 per week in child support, plus past and future medical expenses, was excessive. Before Malone’s appeal was adjudicated, the lawsuit was settled on confidential terms. In the case of the Ford twins, Malone was ruled to be their father when he violated a court order by refusing to reveal his assets or submit to a DNA test. Thereafter, another out-of-court settlement was reached.[74]
By the fall of 1998, Malone accepted his paternity of the Ford twins, and Kay Malone said publicly that the twins were members of the Malone family.[76] Since that time, Karl Malone has maintained a relationship with the twins, each of whom later played college basketball at his alma mater, Louisiana Tech. Cheryl Ford went on to a professional basketball career with the Detroit Shock of the Women’s National Basketball Association.
Bell has played as an NFL offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys. In 2008, The Buffalo News reported that Bell’s first ever meeting with Malone came shortly after Bell graduated from high school. According to Bell, Malone told him then that it was “too late” for them to have a father-son relationship.[77] However, in 2014, the two repaired their relationship and were in regular contact by 2018.[78]
In 2018, Malone said about his relationship with his older children, “I didn’t handle it right; I was wrong. … Father Time is the biggest thief that’s out there, and you can’t get that back.”[78]
“And he still went to the NBA???”
We’re still wondering Pat
Karl malone didn’t get a 13 year old pregnant. He got a 12 year old pregnant and she was 13 when she had the kid.
Professional Karl Malone hater here (decades). I don’t think I knew until just before the pandemic. 49 here. This was just another reason to think he is a POS…who got a way with a crime.
Not to mention he is the GOAT “Bus Rider”, dirty playing, couldn’t go up strong for the all the weights he lifted…assaulting Zeke on the court (that’s when the hate started).

Barkley used to abuse him and I loved it.
