Paul Pierce<\/a> recently opened up about his split with ESPN more than two years after he was let go when he posted a video on social media of himself smoking what appeared to be marijuana while strippers were massaging him in the background.<\/p>\n

Pierce talked about the ordeal in an episode of “Stars on Mars.” He said he was at a birthday party and there were girls dancing as he was playing poker. Pierce said there was “a lot of alcohol” involved.<\/p>\n

He talked about the incident with former cyclist Lance Armstrong<\/a> and hip-hop star Tinashe. He called it a “big ol’ controversy.” Armstrong asked how the video even got on social media in the first place.<\/p>\n

“I accidentally did, my dumb a–,” Pierce said.<\/p>\n

Armstrong replied, “B–ch, how old are you?”<\/p>\n

Tinashe expressed sympathy for the former Boston Celtics superstar, saying it wasn\u2019t “that bad” but she could see why ESPN did what they had to do.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I lost my job at ESPN over it,” Pierce said. “We all make some mistakes. Maybe I wouldn\u2019t be on \u2018Mars\u2019 if that didn\u2019t happen. See? Things happen for a reason.”<\/p>\n

Pierce also talked about the incident<\/a> in an episode of the “I Am Athlete” podcast back in April.<\/p>\n

“I got fired for what? I got fired for having some entertainment,” Pierce asked during the podcast episode. “I\u2019m playing cards, [it\u2019s] my boy\u2019s birthday, there\u2019s girls dancing, and we\u2019re blowing some trees. What did I do wrong?”<\/p>\n

Peirce mentioned that a high-level ESPN employee contacted him to inform him that the company was conducting an investigation into the video.<\/p>\n

He added that the employee questioned him about his actions in the video, to which he responded that it was “self-explanatory.”<\/p>\n

Pierce added that the organization viewed his actions as “immoral.”<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, it\u2019s Disney, and they have a morals clause, and they just said it was immoral,” he explained.<\/p>\n
