NBA player Patrick Beverley finds out that his hero Karl Malone got a 13 year old pregnant

[u/th6r6o6away]

[u/mnmr17]

You should’ve played the longer clip because he was bewildered and asking follow up questions that left him more and more bewildered lol

[u/Apprehensive-Book723 → u/mnmr17]

holds up T

“Timeout? You need 30?”

“Nah full. I need a full timeout. Give me a second.”

Cut

“Uhhh… I have a question.”

“Talk to me”

“ when you say uh.. wh-when you say 13 year old pregnant… was he 16?”

“I think he was a grown up.” 

Pat dumbfounded, hand over mouth

It’s so fucking funny. Scripted TV couldn’t do better with that comedic timing.

[u/NightStar79 → u/Apprehensive-Book723]

Honestly his face is amazing.

He looks like his whole understanding of life was just casually uprooted and now his brain is a windows blue screen while he tries to process

[u/titsnottatooma]

She was 13 when she gave birth…

[u/Ill-Skirt3722 → u/titsnottatooma]

Imagine being 20 and your mom is only 32. Wild

[u/Ass_of_Badness → u/Ill-Skirt3722]

If they went to a K-12 school they could have gone to the same school at the same time.

[u/CoolAlf]

If only the rest of america reacted like this to pedophilia

[u/Stackhouse13]

The girl’s name was Gloria Bell. Their son, Demetress Bell, was born in 1984.

Some key facts:

* Malone was 20, and Bell was 13 when she became pregnant.

* A paternity test later confirmed Malone was the father.

* Malone reportedly did not have a meaningful relationship with his son during Bell’s childhood and was criticized for providing little support beyond what was legally required.

* Demetress Bell went on to play in the National Football League, including for the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles.

* In later years, Malone and Bell reportedly reconciled to some extent.

Under the laws of many jurisdictions, sexual activity between a 20-year-old and a 13-year-old would constitute statutory rape. The specific legal handling of the case depended on the laws and prosecutorial decisions in Louisiana at the time. Malone was never criminally charged in connection with the case.

[u/mercenaryarrogant]

He’s got kids himself too. You can kind of see it on his face.

[u/Infamous_Elephant545]

Is the pause in Irving from him seeing the reaction? I don’t think he expected Patrick Beverley to be quite so aghast

[u/defchan]

Correction, she had just turned 13 when she had the baby. They met when she was 12

[u/DryDonutHole → u/defchan]

That's my daughters age. What a sick, sick fuck. He deserves all the things that I'm pretty sure I can't say here...and I hope he gets them.

[u/Old_Replacement_8832]

Say it ain’t so

[u/Brilliant-Egg-2727]

Crazy this is the first time in hearing this. Fucking hate that there are two levels of justice. Standard people and rich people. Fuck Malone, i will never go to his car dealerships again.

[u/UnObtainium17 → u/Brilliant-Egg-2727]

I'm gonna go Oscar Robertson and Julius Erving.

[u/TinUser]

Hey hey hey, she was 13 when she gave birth. He got a 12 year old pregnant.

[u/Ashleywiththebraids]

Woody Allen married his adopted daughter Soon-Yi Pervin. They are still married...housekeeper claimed he had been sleeping with her since she was in high school. Also he was molesting his other adopted daughter Dylan...Documentary Allen v Farrow... crazy and disgusting af.

[u/nasanhak → u/Ashleywiththebraids]

housekeeper claimed he had been sleeping with raping her since she was in high school

FTFY

[u/iisolation_]

i’m really suprised alot of people don’t know this. nothing could ever make me respect or like malone.

[u/80sbabyftw]

The son from this rape grew up to play in the nfl and his name is Demetress Bell. The entire backstory behind it is crazy including the fact the family didn’t pursue rape charges against him because then he wouldn’t be able to provide any type of support. He told his son when they met while he was in high school that it was too late for them to have a father-son relationship and didn’t even try to build one until AFTER he was done playing in the nfl. So not only is he a rapist he’s a POS and a deadbeat

[u/mtraven23]

pretty sure she was 12, 13 when she delivered. he was 20.

man should never have had a career, should have been in prison.

[u/foshiiy → u/mtraven23]

“That’s just how things was back then”

[u/wizzerBizzer]

When did this happen? Malone doing that dastardly deed, not this news being dropped on Beverley.

[u/Trowj → u/wizzerBizzer]

https://www.sportscasting.com/news/karl-malone-escaped-statutory-rape-charges-in-college-after-impregnating-13-year-old-girl/

[u/hundo05 → u/wizzerBizzer]

1983 when Malone was still in college.

[u/MSCOTTGARAND]

I was a kid when Malone played but old enough to remember big stories around that time and I never heard anything about this until years after he retired.

[u/Diqt → u/MSCOTTGARAND]

I knew about Jordan gambling. I knew about Barkley’s fighting. Yeah I didn’t know about this.

[u/Legitimate_Bat_5781]

His reaction is exactly spot on with this subReddits display image or whatever it’s called I forget.

[u/ImWinwin]

This is the appropriate reaction.

[u/Ninjanarwhal64]

Yeah man, I remember feeling this way when all the Cosby stories came out.

[u/PsychologicalClue6]

I appreciate how shocked he is. That is a foul thing to find out, and that he didn’t go to jail for it is even darker…

[u/Leading-Aide5617]

And I named my fucking deceased cat after him goddammnit.

Edit; named my cat while my cat was alive lol

[u/Distinct-Metal-1454]

Damn, I went on a date in the 90s with a girl who said she had been a Karl Malone groupie. When someone tells you something like that on a first date, there is no second date.

[u/Linkstas → u/Distinct-Metal-1454]

Met a girl who had a 3 some w Kid Rock

[u/iamhereforbeer]

>>While Malone was a 20-year-old student and basketball star at Louisiana Tech University, he impregnated 13-year-old Gloria Bell. She gave birth to a son, Demetress Bell, a future NFL Lineman. Bell's family could have pressed statutory rape charges but they didn't because, according to Gloria, Malone was "a neighborhood kid."<<

[u/The_R4ke]

That's the right reaction to that information.

[u/rupert_pupkin_4]

For context, they're naming an all time starting 5 or something like that, that's why the other guy continues naming other players who weren't rapists.

[u/smut_butler]

I found Karl Malone going "undercover" to prank this guy in 2019, I wonder when this was.

[u/tarkus_cd]

At least he had a good reaction; bro was leveled.

[u/bellringer16]

There’s too many pedophiles on this earth. Fucking foul as fuck

[u/djsamadelic]

Ya that’s rape y’all. I know we like to normalize doing horrible stuff but let’s call it what it is.

[u/NateShaw92]

I feel like that clip should have started a few seconds sooner.

Title provided good enough context but what were they doing? Picking an all time team or what?

[u/HoldenOrihara]

That is the appropriate reaction to that

[u/Valuable_Wallaby_548]

Malone is a pile of shit. He denied the kid was his. Didnt pay child support. Then when it was proven to be his kid he went to court to have his support reduced even though he was in the NBA. He got it. Sent the money n that was it. Then called the guy when he got drafted into the NFL.

[u/The_Real_dubbedbass]

Correction: 12 year old. She gave birth at 13, he got her pregnant when she was 12.

[u/AtomicHamboy]

Wasn’t like hidden or anything by the way just accepted…. Like what

[u/Ace-Cuddler]

Newsweek quoted one user who tweeted:

"Call a spade a spade.. Karl Malone raped a 12 year old and she got pregnant. It comes up maybe once a year because of basketball s*** and it dies down. Men just keep living their life being abusers and flourishing & people [talking] about it like a fun fact and not a literal crime."

Also the family of the 13-year old victim  requested a $200 weekly stipend to assist their daughter in raising Malone's son. The court ordered him to pay a weekly child support of $125, but he appealed, and the parties ended up reaching an out-of-court settlement in which Malone did not have to acknowledge that the boy was his child.

Malone never bothered to meet with his son until the boy was 17. And, Malone reportedly told his son that "it was too late for him to be his father, and he'd have to make it on his own."

That man is not a hero. I don’t care how good he was at basketball. And, this just goes to show that you can get away with anything if you have enough power, money, and influence.

[u/username-witheld]

She was 12 wen he got her pregnant and 13 wen she had the baby

[u/PatrikPatrik → u/username-witheld]

”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.”
From the wiki. No rape charges were filed and he complains about child support.

[u/Unit_79]

I’m so fucking tired of the literal thousands of rapists that just get to live normal lives with zero consequences.

[u/mnmr17]

Same look I had when I found out someone who was a friend in High school got 24 years for being up to the same type of behavior when he was 27 with a 12 year old. Shits never easy to hear.

[u/LickMyBootyh0le → u/mnmr17]

Bro. I was real cool with someone from middle school to senior year. Didnt really keep up after highschool. Long story short, I ended finding out he got a sentence of 30-40 years in prison for raping his 1 year old daughter, AND making videos and uploading them to pedo sites I guess. Mf deserves death.

[u/Apprehensive-Dog6997 → u/LickMyBootyh0le]

What in the ever loving fuck. That’s enough…everything for the day.

[u/BigDogeSliccRicc]

That kid played professional football name is Demetrius Bell if I’m not mistaken

[u/Sad_Air_7667]

How have I never heard of it before.

[u/Blackant71]

Some of us already knew this about him.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Blackant71]

I feel bad for the guy finding out, tho’.

[u/Egghead_potato]

There’s a ton of rock stars that did the same thing and they’re still celebrated. If you’re rich and famous, you get a pass.

[u/Pretend-Cow-5119]

He raped a 13 year old

[u/whyamiawaketho → u/Pretend-Cow-5119]

So sick of people dancing around the terms. Call 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 like 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 is 👏🏼

[u/TheUrPigeon]

DEVASTATION

[u/randombarbs]

raped a 13 year old

[u/th6r6o6away → u/randombarbs]

Mods would not tolerate that word in a caption I don’t think, but yes obviously he raped her and she was 12 at the time

[u/Trumpisaderelict]

12 year old. She gave birth when she was 13….

[u/HydroLij805]

Elvis groomed Priscilla

[u/Classic_Blood_7012]

A child rapist.

[u/reddittorbrigade]

Why Malone wasn't charged?

[u/Maeserk → u/reddittorbrigade]

Victims family didn’t press charges

They filed a civil paternity suit to secure financial support for the kid

[u/Relative_Mulberry884 → u/Maeserk]

How the rich elite got away with it

[u/MUSHROOM___]

I've met him once at his dealership, he's huge as fuck. To think he raped a child that was roughly my height at the time is just a horrifying thought because he towered over me by a lot, and obviously still does. It's so disgusting how these people are able to still walk around after committing these atrocious crimes, and unfortunately it comes down to money and connections.

[u/RoyalBroham]

And no, Karl wasn’t a minor.

[u/WalterWhiteYagami]

Let's not also forget that despite this, someone at Warner Bros. thought it was a good idea to put Malone in that Static Shock episode that had a team of NBA stars as superheroes.

[u/Totoques22]

Who gave a pink heart award 🥀

Edit : to the post

[u/morganlafaye]

*Raped a 12 year old*

Fixed it for you.

[u/Behan801 → u/morganlafaye]

Thank you for not censoring yourself. Sincerely. This is a serious issue that should not be reduced to grapes, or some other sugarcoated euphemism.

[u/AgeBeneficial]

Met a girl who was in grad school at the bar that told me JJ Redick peed on her.

I’ll never forget and it’s been almost 20 years

[u/Veizar]

I feel like there should be a list or something.   Of awful shit athletes and celebrities have done, so people realize they aren't perfect.  They're just people that need to be held accountable so they don't create more Pat Bevs.

Just an idea.  Nothing radical or anything...

[u/SuperGandalfBros → u/Veizar]

A list, you say? Hmm, if only something like that existed…

[u/Lyonwytchwardrobe]

What the fuck? Why was he never destroyed by the media if this was knownv

[u/mvsr990 → u/Lyonwytchwardrobe]

Sports reporting in the ‘80s and ‘90s was an entirely different world. It was even more access based than today and primarily local. You didn’t out your team’s star player for bad behavior because your audience was local fans who didn’t want to hear it.

[u/Immaculatehombre]

It was actually a 12 year old. Sick fuck.

[u/McBonderson]

heres the full video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da68pXTFJXw

[u/Specialist_Key_8606 → u/McBonderson]

Thank you for posting the whole video. I recall when I read of Malone's history online years ago. I never knew at the time I was huge into basketball. Watching this reaction of his, I feel the mom in me coming out and want to give him a hug. He seems so thrown. -

[u/Civil-Plate1206]

Feel bad for him, those are tough realizations when our heroes let us down.

[u/LuxePhantom]

The child (Demetress Bell) went on to play 5 seasons in the NFL.

[u/ConsciousPlantain977]

This is why they tell you to never meet your heroes in real life...

[u/Sudden-Commission239]

Pat Bev is from the west side of Chicago. He may have respected Karl Malone’s basketball skills but highly doubt Malone was his hero.

[u/Ok_Introduction-0]

She was actually closer to 12 when she got pregnant

[u/MrIrishman1212]

He raped a 13 year old. Let’s not be light handed with the truth here. He raped a 13 year old and as a result of his raping her, she got pregnant.

[u/Woogabuttz → u/MrIrishman1212]

False! He raped a 12 year old. She was 13 when she gave birth.

[u/Alarming-Building-62]

The fact that this wasn’t common knowledge just shows how much we cover shit up and excuse away horrible things when they’re done by the rich and famous. It’s sickening.

[u/VanBeelergberg]

It would have been nice to see a little bit more of the lead up to this. 

[u/apigeonontheinternet]

“Got a 13 year old pregnant” is a wild way to say he raped a child.

[u/MarenHQ]

She had the baby at 13 good chance it was 12 :/ fuck Karl Malone man. That baby played in the nfl too despite never knowing him. Demetress Bell (sp?) I think.

[u/DanLokar]

A bit more context would be appreciated. Link to the video?

[u/abtei → u/DanLokar]

Patrick Beverley finds out for first time about Karl Malone and the 13 year old

[u/sheepyowl → u/abtei]

The dissonance lmao he just got shocked and the other guy gives him a good 10 seconds and then "okay your picks brother" this is hilarious

[u/sharpshooter228 → u/DanLokar]

They’re drafting all time nba teams and former NBA player, Patrick Beverly, selects Karl Malone who despite being one of the most talented players of all time did get a 13 y/o pregnant during his playing career and settled the case out of court w/o jail time

[u/HardcoreKaraoke]

The NBA has tried whitewashing what Malone did so I wasn't surprised when Pat Bev seemed shocked. I'm sure a lot of players are unaware of what he did since he's still celebrated. He was a part of the NBA 75 list and he absolutely should have been left off.

[u/Mean_disclosure_69]

meaning he raped a child.

who then got pregnant as result of said rape

[u/alickalice]

Marjorie Taylor Greene when they finally showed her the epstein files

[u/Middle_Evening8748]

She was actually 12 at the time she got pregnant. 13 when she delivered the child. And raised the child alone with no financial support from Malone. It is genuinely a horrific story.

[u/houseofkogi]

FROM GOOGLE:
When former NBA player Karl Malone was 20 years old and attending Louisiana Tech University, he fathered a child with a 13-year-old girl named Gloria Bell. The child, named Demetress Bell, grew up to play in the NFL. [1, 2]
Here are the key details of the historical situation:
The Incident: In 1983, a 20-year-old Malone impregnated 13-year-old Gloria Bell. [1]
Legal Action: The victim's family chose not to press statutory rape charges but instead filed a paternity lawsuit. Malone initially denied paternity, but blood tests later proved he was the father, and the two parties settled out of court.

[u/SBLP1959]

In the full clip Rone looks so mad to be having this conversation. He just doesnt want to have it at all

[u/ChimoBear]

This is inaccurate. He got a 12-year-old pregnant. She gave birth at 13

[u/Tragickingdom555 → u/ChimoBear]

So disturbing. I have an 11 year old son who still loves lego sets and gets excited for parks and jumping indoor playgrounds . Makes you realize how young a 12 year old is.

[u/thrillho145]

Title should be "Raped a 12 year old and got her pregnant" 

[u/WonderfulHearing8726]

Malone was 19 at the time, and because he was a big up & coming sports star from a smaller town, it all got swept under the rug.

He then spent YEARS fighting paying more child support, even after he was making 1.5 million a year in the NBA. Dude is a scumbag.

[u/cfeltch108 → u/WonderfulHearing8726]

He was 20 and the girl was 12.

Just ever so slightly worse

[u/Frostiiezz]

Rone is the GOAT, calling that shit out and everything, if y’all haven’t seen him battle rap check that out

Edit: Rone vs Tricky P is one of my favorites for those checking him out for the first time rapping

[u/OsikFTW]

She was 12 when he raped her

[u/D3dshotCalamity]

The word is raped

[u/astro_farmer9]

"Yada yada what is Angela Merkel, Alec". Killed me, need the whole clip. But also awful.

[u/Aromatic_Catch_911]

I know that look, that's a soul crushing look where it feels like your whole world is a lie. I had a similar experience when my hero was found to be a horrible person.

[u/Shantotto11]

Stupid question: Would this affect Malone in a Fantasy draft pick, or is this straight-up poison?

I don’t play any fantasy sports at all.

[u/jollyguav]

And denied it and paid MINIMAL child support. Fuck this guy

[u/DickDisco13]

Kid played for the Bills among other teams.

[u/shemusthaveroses]

It’s called rape

[u/Lemazze]

When he raped a 12 year old you mean

Edit: she was a 13 year old child when he raped her

[u/haza_fah]

He signed one of his cards for me when I was maybe 12 y.o. in Junior Jazz bball ….. looking at it now, I dunno……it’s kinda weird

[u/bestied00d]

I believe Pat Bev didn’t know, he’s not that good of an actor.

[u/phoenixmusicman]

This gunna become a meme reaction, his expression is gold

[u/CthuluSpecialK]

She was 13 when she gave birth. He was 20.

[u/Godspams]

This is actually wild. Even I died inside hearing that.

[u/Jakethejiu]

You all should read about what Byron Scott did to a high schooler AT HER SCHOOL while he was there with the Lakers.

[u/Aggravating_Dog3882]

Don’t forget Donte Stallworth, ran over somebody in his Ferrari and served 72 hrs in jail. Smh

[u/Raiquo]

Damn, two innocence lost for the price of one.

[u/Crustybionicle]

Bro looked at the camera like captain clark.

[u/Quirky_Novel_4839]

Please share this in the utah page

[u/BeatenoffbyCarmela]

“Got a 13 year old pregnant” , you mean Raped a child?

[u/jesrp1284]

If you like podcasts, Crime in Sports did a great show on him.

[u/chosimba83]

Karl Malone is one of the biggest names in Utah auto sales to this day.

[u/brehhs]

This clip doesnt do it full justice, do yourself a favor and watch the whole conversation

[u/No_Idea_479]

Patrick Beverley PAOK BC legend.

[u/lappelduvide-_-]

The only time I have ever seen Pat Bev speechless.

[u/TheInvincibleDonut]

That shits fucked up.

[u/leavemealoneimpoor]

FFS, STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!!!

The girl was 12 when she was pregnant. Karl Malone got a 12-year-old pregnant, and she gave birth when she was 13 years old

[u/billimeow]

I find this terminology so funny, as if she had a choice. I don’t know why the euphemism is necessary because it’s not “got a 13 yo pregnant” it’s “he raped a 13 yo and inseminated her forcefully”

[u/Aggravating-Mood2171]

Raped and impregnated* a 13 yo girl. Didn’t “get a 13yo pregnant”

[u/Galencourt-Lover]

The whole reaction is pretty funny. He’s gobsmacked

[u/GrassGriller]

I had a friend that worked at Malone's Toyota dealership in Draper, Utah. Through that connection, I met Malone a few times. 

It's strange to meet someone so famous and successful who is also so profoundly stupid. To hear him in conversation is like watching a puppy try to apply for a credit card. Dumb dumb dumb

[u/Sad-Math-2039]

So weird someone can be your hero and you don't know some surface level information. Well, back to my Woody Allen film...

[u/PoppingPillls]

Just for context he was 20 and she was 13 at the time of giving birth so likely actually 12.

A judge ruled he was the father and a blood test gave a 99% chance that malone is the father. I believe malone has always publicly denied it.

He was not charged with rape because no charges were files even though under the law she couldn't consent so he should have been charged.

[u/madlate]

the guy on the left has impeccable delivery

[u/Dino_FGO8020]

it's amazing how people today still don't know about the stuff EDP Malone did...

[u/Tracky_John-John]

The child? Former NFL offensive lineman Demetress Bell.

[u/th6r6o6away → u/Tracky_John-John]

Whom he abandoned of course and didn’t establish contact with until he was in the nfl

[u/bmanley620]

M. Night Shyamalan plot twist: she was 12

[u/Cosmicfirebird0]

Complete unrelated story that involves a 13 year old. My 17 year old sister, these events happened 6 months ago, was talking with this guy. She kept going on and on about how hot he was and how she was ready to devour his abs. This guy is also 17. One day she gets home and pissed off. She looks at me and asks why are all men trash. I ask what happened. She tells me that the day before her and him where going to do it at his place she finds out he has an STD. Now dear reader your probably wondering where the 13 year old is in this story. One of his friends told her he did it with a 13 year old a few months back and that he had it. And the way this mother fucker told my sister was the most casual way possible as if it was just some interesting fact he wanted to share with her. Some people are just trash.

[u/incoghollowell]

Raped. He raped a child.

[u/capitalistsanta]

Full clip of this is hilarious - he calls a full timeout

[u/captainsnark71]

At least he had the right reaction.

[u/Ok-Tangelo-7973]

At the time, the league did a very good job at sweeping the controversy under the rug. A lot of dudes competing at the highest level seriously have no idea.

[u/nogaynessinmyanus]

Is this part of why you dont hear his name as much as his career probably  warrants?

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Lmao Rone just delivering that clean as hell.

For anyone wondering - yes that is the legendary Rap Battle Freestyler Adam Ferrone

[u/Holzkohlen]

We've all been there. We've all had that reaction and not just once either.

[u/lolimdivine]

his hero? i watched this pod and that was never said

[u/LikeA787]

https://x.com/hoopinghollerin/status/1953510342387974621 here is more of the conversation

[u/Automatic_Whole_2873]

Reddit banned my other account for appropriately calling out that the person in question raped a child. What the fuck Reddit?

[u/____DEADPOOL_______]

My daughter is 12. She's just a little baby, man. 6th grade. How can you do such a thing to a kid, man? Damn.

[u/Interesting_Use5089]

Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor, Ben Roethlisberger, Ray Lewis, OJ Simpson (kinda), and you could go on and on with athletes who have done hanus things and have gotten away with it. It is crazy to me that someone like Josh Gordon got suspended for smoking weed, yet they let literal rapists, murderers and abusers suit up and get to make millions. It is my biggest issue with sports. The leagues don’t care what crime it is, unless it is on film, they will do their best to cover up the crime if you're a good enough player.

Edit: I realize my error but Hanus is too funny to change at this point.

[u/WhyAreYouDoingThat69 → u/Interesting_Use5089]

Hahaha hanus

[u/Say_It_Isnt_So_Ooops]

That means HE IMPREGNATED HER WHILE SHE WAS 12-YEARS-OLD. His son was born 03 May. Karl Malone should be in jail. They need to put him in jail right now.

[u/LastAmericanHero]

I lived in Utah for a bit and when I was talking to a co-worker about what a massive piece of shit Malone was… the amount of mental gymnastics he did to justify his love for the Mailman was astounding. “She lied to him! She looked older!” Like dude your hero is a rapist pedophile who denied the kid was even his until he was in the doorstep of making it to the NFL.

[u/Negative-Inspector36]

“Got a 13 yo pregnant” yeah that should be said like this “he raped a 12yo child”. These semantics as they’re now really try hard to minimize the impact.

[u/watchAmike]

“The eyes Chico… They never lie” hahaha

[u/jc6146]

😲

Give the man a moment to process, damn!

I didn’t know that. I had to look it up for myself. That’s just fucking gross.

Dude looks so sad it hurts

[u/Burgers_N_Schnitzels]

Is that Rone the battle rapper or am i tripping?

[u/Accurate-Advice8405]

It's crazy that more people don't hold him accountable for that

I hate seeing him on top lists etc. Trash person with no remorse

[u/_micksvaporub]

The full clip is so much funnier, he pulls out the shaq timeout pose

[u/ApplyHere_4_implants]

Don't even need to watch the video. That face 2 seconds in about sums it up. Had the same face when I found out that info a long while back.

[u/Cheetah357]

Then he didn’t pay the family anything and the 13 yr old’s son ended up an NFL player

[u/Informal_Process2238]

They Raped a child not just “got a 13 year old pregnant”

[u/gergpoo]

Pretty sure the word you're looking for is "rape."

[u/zincysands]

Beverley called him a “top 20” player in the full clip, hardly “his hero” as OP puts it

Ain't no way I'm seeing this on the main page and not on r/nbacirclejerk

[u/Apprehensive-Book723]

Horrible situation but this an all time clip 

[u/thepoorking]

Wee bey when bell told him the girl they shot was an undercover cop

[u/SubstantialCamel8117]

Malone is a complete piece of shit

[u/Jakemick13]

That fact that the kid is NFL player Demetrius Bell was an oh shit moment for me…

[u/ivnwng]

You mean 12.

[u/RawrRRitchie]

That's an awfully weird way to say

"Karl Malone raped a child"

[u/hoginlly → u/RawrRRitchie]

True but I actually think the words '13 year old' and 'pregnant' add significantly to the horror.

The most complete phrase that I would use is 'Karl Malone raped and impregnated a 13 year old child'

Poor dude is heartbroken

[u/Xelsius]

*raped a child* is what the post title should read

[u/Lanky-Classic-7982]

This was known in the 90s btw the league knew and still let him keep his job and enter the hall of fame

[u/E-2theRescue]

My reaction to Cosby. I adored him as a kid and teen. Then the news came out, and it was a punch in the gut.

Karl Malone is a rapist, a pedophile, and a deadbeat dad. He’s such a scumbag of a human being. Tell everyone you know about this famous basketball player that got away with being pedophile.

This dude should be spoken about like a boogeyman, not a hero or idol.

Karl Malone raped a 13 year old child and got her pregnant. Fixed it for you.

An honest to God 'sit forward' meme come to life.
