Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back as he blasted Tiger Woods following his DUI-related incident. The Big Cat recently announced that he will step away for some time to focus on his recovery. He also requested privacy during this time.
However, Smith was completely against it, as he had given similar statements in 2017 and 2021. But those statements didn’t do any good, as this was Woods’ 3rd incident. The latest case stems from a March 27, 2026, crash in Florida, where Woods’ vehicle struck a truck before rolling over.
“Bump his privacy. Don’t give a damn about his privacy. You know what? We don’t care right now. You’ve been behind the wheel of a vehicle inebriated three times. Ain’t nobody trying to know all your business. What we want to know is that you ain’t going to get behind the wheel of a damn car when you’re inebriated. You’re lucky you didn’t kill somebody,” Stephen A. Smith said during an ESPN broadcast.
“That’s what we want to hear. Nothing else is our business. Nothing else is our business. I heard Michael Lee on the Sports Channel last night doing a great job, by the way, talking about Tiger Woods and how private he is. Damn that privacy.”

Smith’s argument was simple. He wanted to say he didn’t care about Woods’ privacy until he could assure everyone that there would be no similar incident again. And the only way he believed he could achieve this was by hiring a driver and never being behind the wheel when inebriated.
This is a developing story…
