Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie, was back in the spotlight this week after images emerged of her holding hands with current player Malik Beasley.

Larsa last year emphatically denied leaving a Los Angeles nightclub with Australian basketball star Ben Simmons.

Pippen, 46, took to social media to defend herself after some sports gossip websites reported she was spotted leaving The Highlight Room at the Tao restaurant complex in Hollywood earlier this week.

The images that whipped around social media caught Beasley's wife, Instagram model Montana Yao by surprise.

Yao, who has a child with Beasley, was "blindsided" by the image, according to TMZ. She is also facing charges stemming from a late-October arrest alongside Beasley.

Pippen divorced Scottie in 2019, and claimed she dated recent Boston Celtics signee Tristan Thompson before Khloe Kardashian. The now ex-friend of the Kardashian clan was also linked to rapper Future.

Beasley signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the Timberwolves this off-season.

The Vanderbilt guard went on a Twitter liking spree after posting on his account: "Focused on myself and my goals. I'm not responsible for nobody's actions. All good over here."

Scotty liked roughly 11 tweets with messages of support for the rising basketball star with fans feeling broken hearted for him.

Larsa used to be inseparable with reality TV's first family, The Kardashians, but at some point this year they had a falling out and unfollowed each other on social media.

While many thought rumours of Larsa hooking up with Khloe Kardashian's on-again-off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson were to blame, Larsa claimed it was actually Kanye West who was responsible for the rift.

"I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn't trust anyone with Kim, so I feel like I was the person that was like, 'Oh, don't be so close to her because you're so close to her', that kinda had something to do with it," Larsa explained on an episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast.

"I don't want to be the trouble in your relationship. If your husband feels threatened by my relationship with you then I don't want to be that person. I got my own s**t."
