Scottie Pippen was sued for $9,999 by ex-girlfriend for a hilarious travel expense issue

Bulls legend Scottie Pippen was sued by his ex-girlfriend Chyvette Valentine for not paying her travel expenses during the affair

In the 1990s, the Chicago Bulls were THE team to beat. With Michael Jordan leading the way and Scottie Pippen backing him up, the squad, when healthy, was unstoppable. We saw how they got their first three-peat between 1991-1993, and then their second one between 1996-1998.

Michael Jordan was key to the Bulls’ success, but Pippen was also crucial. With him proving to be a reliable #2, the Bulls were able to dominate the league in ways very few have ever done before.

Pippen, to date, has been married twice. He first married Karen McCollum in 1988 and later divorced her in 1990. He then married Larsa Pippen in 1997 and split ways with her in 2018.

In 2019, while Pippen and Larsa were going through a divorce, Valentine also decided it was time Pippen finally paid her. According to her, the 6x NBA Champion promised to pay her hotel, car, gas, food, parking, and other expenses, but never paid her back.
